Most of what folks nowadays claim to be food allergies is simply the
"yuck/eeeuuuw" factor (many who claim an allergy to eggs mean only
runny eggs so by association avoid all eggs). Many simply claim a
plethera of food allergies as a diabolical means to garner attention;
they have a mental deficiency, not a food allergy. And food
intolerance is NOT an allergy... lactose intolerance is no more a food
allergy than farting from ingesting beans.
