Browsing cookbooks on Amazon

and found this :

"Vegetarian cooking without: Over 100 easy-to-follow delicious recipes free from wheat, gluten, sugar, salt, dairy products, yeast, saturated fat, and meat."

How depressing.

Necessary no doubt (although food intolerance seems to be a recent issue - did people just suffer in silence before, or is it a relatively new problem, and if so, what are the causes ?) but depressing all the same.

  1. A sad state of affairs indeed. My boyfriend and I once agreed that if we are indeed allergic to any of the aforementioned ingredients, we don't want to know. We'd much rather enjoy our food and "suffer" from gas or whatever other inconveniences than give up gluten, dairy, meat, etc...
    Yes, I do think that food intolerance is a recent issue. Mind over matter and all of that.

  2. sort of ditto, Wee, but I guess it would depend on how bad the symptoms were.

    if I really suffered from, for instance, atrocious gas, S would probably put me on a diet for his own safety...
