[@clumaster]

i know it sounds like a lot but if you work it out 1900 mg of sodium (from the last item) works out to about 0.8313 teaspoon of salt which is %40 sodium and %60 chloride and when you actually look at all the recipes that ask for a teaspoon of salt or more then what is these is actually not that much, probably why they taste bland

Mrs. Wolfe Pit's French manicure is, indeed, lovely. Re: peanut allergies - like you said, as adults, we need to take responsibility for what we eat. If I were so sensitive that a peanut could kill me, I would prepare ALL of my own food from scratch and not rely on industry to cover my ass.

[@Saf333]

Funny thing is that early introduction to potential allergens is a great way to lower the chance of potentially having said allergy. (It's why peanut allergies are extremely rare in Israel for example. There's an extremely popular kid junk food that's made with peanuts here so all kids are introduced to it. ) So this sort of thing actually makes things even worse than people think.

Heres the problem: no matter what you ordered, for some f*****g reason, thry felt the need to cram as many unappetizing vegetable's in as possible, along with this mysterious liquid submerging the food. That combination would have the tray overflowing and spilling. I hated that place.

Actually peanut allergies are incredible common for children around two percent or one in every fifty children has them, adults don’t have them as frequently. The big problem is that peanut allergies are type I hypersensitivity which means even contact can lead to allergic reactions. Peanut allergies are known to have severe reactions and be one of the most deadly allergies. If a product is even manufactured in the same factory it can be deadly for people.

[@davidace5864]

They’ve also found that one of the main reasons for this increased prevalence is lack of exposure as small children/infants

[@kawaiiladki]

@@davidace5864 Luckily, we may see less of it in the future since doctors are encouraging parents to introduce their children to allergens like peanuts once they can eat solid foods. Some babies get a little sick the first time, but are fine afterwards.

[@jalifritz8033]

@@davidace5864 there are probably several factors playing a role, lack of exposure probably being one of them. In other studies they found a possible link between the usage of antibiotics and a higher risk of allergies, also environmental factors seem to be in play so have children growing up in rural areas less allergies than children growing up in cities. Also the micro biome between children with and without allergies differs and is less diverse if you have allergies.
