    I understand this is a joke but I also want to point out that food allergies are different from food intolerances. My kid has food allergies and can’t eat certain foods or he could die, my spouse has lactose intolerance and sometimes eats a bunch of ice cream and has diarrhea. Lactose intolerance isn’t life threatening as long as you’re not expected to survive on milk alone. She’s also fructose intolerant and was just eating plain marshmallows. Then complains about her stomach. Humans are funny.
