Hahahahaha. ... you used the words "women" and "sanity" together in the same sentence.
That is pure comedy gold right there, it damn sure is.
Right. Because every woman is the same. :noway:
Oh wait... what am I doing here? I again should be in the kitchen. Sorry!
Lighten up, baby; I was clowning.
I'm not your baby.
thanks for being a good sport

Humans are not meant to travel in space and we still do...
And that is that same how...???
If we were not meant to do it than we should not, right?
I never said that people are wrong for eating it. I really don't care who eats what but this is an opinion board and I was adding mine... that humans aren't made for digesting gluten and dairy. If you do eat it that's your choice and that's fine. I eat it sometimes as well. But gluten is an inflammatory food so if you are sick of having aches and pains that don't seem to have an explanation, you might try cutting out gluten. And if you have issues with acne, bloating, and other hormonal issues, you might try cutting out dairy.
I am not a scientist, just a girl with an opinion... that's what this page is for right? OPINIONS? didn't realize that mine was so personally offensive -_-3 -

I agree! Think of how many people are intolerant to lactose. Cows milk is meant for baby cows, not us.

What about those of us who love and tolerate dairy? I don't think there's been a day since I've been a small child that i haven't had dairy. My breakfast, lunch and dessert contains some sort of dairy every single day.

Well then you are part of the exception and I am jealous of you. However, the symptoms of intolerance aren't always quite so straightforward and obvious as an upset stomach. Not saying that you have an intolerance, just something to think about.4 -

The only intolerance I've noticed is these little white bumps on my chin when i drink too much milk. However if i switch to 100% A2 milk V regular milk they clear up. So i guess that could be some kind of dairy side effect.0 -

I'm really loving how all these men who have never been pregnant, never will be pregnant, have no clue how it feels to deal with pregnancy hormones all know what a cop-out it is for pregnant women to gain excessive weight.
Perhaps this delusion of expertise is an effect of their hormones?

Don'y worry Anne, it's just your crazy woman hormones taking over
Speaking of pregnancy hormones... I will never forget when i went to get a haircut when i was 7mths pregnant, and the MANscaper did a hideous job, i was just about in tears he hacked it that bad! When i asked him to try and fix it, he fobbed me off and said it's probably because I'm pregnant and not thinking straight

I hate it that my 7-months pregnant daughter is so conditioned to her emotions being discounted because hormones that she was beating herself up for getting teary about her 4 year old being sick. Good God woman, your son's been running a fever for 6 days and nobody can figure out why and you're upset! That's not hormones, that's being a parent!10 -
Very few people in affluent countries have experienced true hunger.10

I dunno, I've got one that makes a pretty awesome doorstop.
It's heavy enough to keep the service door open and it has that handle thing so I don't have to bend all the way over to move it out of the way. It's a keeper!9 -

Thankfully.
Now if we can just provide clean water and proper nutrition to everyone else....3 -

And yes I know not all grains contain gluten, that was an error, I even specifically said gluten in my first post.
There are many people who can eat gluten and dairy and feel fine but that doesn't mean that it is all that healthy for you. In fact 3/4 people are lactose intolerant and many without knowing. Most just aren't born with the enzymes to properly digest these foods. I didn't even know that I was intolerant until I cut them out of my diet for a short time and was then unable eat them again without side affects. However, when looking back, it explains a lot of unexplained abdominal pain that I had before I knew what it was.
Also, just because I believe that we aren't made to eat these foods doesn't I don't think anyone should eat them... I still occasionally do because they are hard to resist. I was just stating that I don't think humans digest these foods well.
Soy, egg, fish, shellfish, stone fruit, sesame, peanut and tree nut allergies are some of the most common kinds of allergy. More common than gluten intolerance. Are we not meant to eat these foods as well? I digest meat and eggs poorly, so humans are not meant to eat meat and eggs.15 -
Wow. I never realised that the gold-class standard for pregnancy was to not notice you were. Glad that guy was here to explain it.30

Not really an exception in the western world. If you count worldwide, yes, because lactose intolerance is prevalent in Asia and Africa. But worldwide, white people are an exception, yet that's probably most of what you see when you go out, depending on where you live.1
