A bowl of high-sugar, multi-colored grain pellets marketed as breakfast cereal, with a silly, cartoon rabbit on the package. A dish of fluorescent orange macaroni and ‘cheese’ (although, many packaged brands don’t actually even have real cheese in the ingredients…) with the image of Spiderman on the box.

Read More ›It happened again today. I was dining at a Japanese restaurant with a friend, very much in the mood for sashimi, and I gave the usual briefing to the server- no gluten, so soy, no dairy. She assured me the items I’d selected would, indeed, be free of all of the above, (not too hard […]
