This is a bit of a mystery to me, so I come to the BBS for its collective wisdom.
Something like a nut allergy has been around a long time, but it seems to me that lactose, gluton, wheat intolerances are recently new to the scene.
Have they always been there and never been identified by scientists?
Is the mechanisation of food production to blame?
Are human bodies ill-disposed to process the huge variety of comestibles?
What happens in a society where one crop is 50% or more of a daily diet and someone has a problem with it?
Are other lifestle factors to blame?
Was it actually better for people to have diet where only a few staples were readily available?
Is the loss of certain foods, or the falling out of favour of certain foods a cause?
Is strictly adhering to a healthy diet actually causing these problems?
I read somewhere recently that as a species we may have peaked as far as longevity is concerned. That those people from say 35 to 90 today will live longer than those under 30 and those yet to be born. With medical advances, massive reduction of smoking, reduced drinking, cleaner air, better diet, focus on gyms, and less hazardous working environments, how is that possible?
Should we go back to eating spam fritters, saveloys, pies, fish and chips, dripping, fish fingers, findus crispy pancakes and brains faggots.
