I just opened an overpriced can of fancy soup and on the label, along with the expected stuff like ‘gluten-free’ and ‘GMO-free,’ was ‘mustard free’ and ‘celery free.’ Is that a thing now?

Then you have my pity. Especially for the coconut part.

My partner is allergic to coconut. That also means no palm oil. You know what has palm oil in it these days, often randomly replacing the previous oil in something that used to be ok? Everything.

That’s awful. This is nowhere near as bad, but I found out I was allergic to pomegranate right before it was in everything for a while because they decided it was a superfood.

Thankfully, that trend was very short-lived.
