"It would be nice if the Food and Drug Administration stopped issuing warnings about toxic substances and just gave me the names of one or two things still safe to eat." ~Robert Fuoss
When I read this quote, I literally laughed out loud! It reminds me of when I tell people about all my food intolerances. They almost always say, "Geez, what CAN you eat?" Well, I can eat rice and potatoes (which always surprises people - they tend to confuse "gluten" with "carb"), all vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, etc), all fruits (apples, oranges, bananas, pineapples, pears, etc.), all nuts except walnuts (cashews, peanuts, almonds, pecans, etc) and so forth and so on. I guess it surprises people because so much of the American diet revolves around wheat and dairy. grilled cheese, mac and cheese, cheeseburgers, hamburger helper, cakes, doughnuts, etc. I reassure them that I am certainly able to eat plenty and do not go hungry! ;)
