[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your thoughts about food - perceiving it as unsafe and a threat - can wire your nervous system and body to become sensitized to certain foods.  This is a thing.

Ideally, your body and immune system should be strong enough to "handle" most foods (obviously I'm not talking about Taco Bell here, but cutting out large groups like all dairy, all gluten, all corn, etc).  If you believe that the food you are eating is nourishing you, your body is more likely to accept it.

It IS unhealthy to avoid or fear most foods.  Is it worthy of "disorder" status?  Who knows.  But this is a thing - just like too much exercise is a thing.  Feeling "safe" and generally ok goes a long way to calming your nervous system and immune system down.  Overly identifying with your sensitivities or maladies is not healthy nor does it help you recover.[/quote]

Products containing gluten and non organic corn often have high levels of glyphosate. Dairy, especially non organic is being linked to all kinds of health issues due to the inhumane conditions where the cows are kept and what they are fed. By all means eat those things if you want, but ethically, it's not your place to criticize people who avoid them. There is legitimate research to back it up.[/quote]
