Yeah, he’s a weird scapegoat in this saga. Flash back a week and a half ago and there were people all over the internet (including on this family of websites) writing pieces about how he was being way too bullish about Trump’s chances. Now, we’re blaming him for not being bullish enough...

Silver constantly warned that this election was different given the volatility in the polls and the large amount of undecided voters. He also warned that there was a significant possibility that Trump would win the Electoral College, but would lose the popular vote. Nate Cohn at the Upshot, however, was completely…

Nate Silver’s model was the only one which gave Trump a good chance of winning. Take it up with the Huffington Post and Sam Wang; they gave Clinton close to a 99% chance of winning....

I tend to assume that picky eaters either didn’t have parents who could challenge their palates (poverty? lack of resources and knowledge? too much stress and other things going on? checked out?) or have some kind of issue they don’t have words for like being a super-taster or having textural issues.

Why does it matter to you if someone only eats chicken nuggets and french fries? If they’re happy, let them eat their Happy Meals.

My understanding is that you should do epipen then fast acting benadryl because epipens only work for about 15 minutes and then the benadryl kicks in so if you’re not at the hospital yet you’re okay.

Ugh. I’m a “picky eater”, and yes, people treat me like f’ing shit over it. I was force fed things I disliked as a child, and as a result, I have texture issues as an adult. I have a very, very reactive gag reflex, and as “OMG SO FUCKING ANNOYING” as it is for you when I don’t want to try something, it’s way worse…

Christ! Glad you made it.

These blurbs were thought of with the same amount of sensitivity that someone who calls people “Glutards” has. I’m in the middle of being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and have been sick after every single meal I’ve eaten for the past year. I don’t get to drink beer anymore (amongst several other things), and at the…

It’s baffling to me why anyone cares what other people choose to eat. Allergies or not, why is it such a big deal to just let people like what they like and move on? Is it really that hard to accept that someone else doesn’t like what you think they should? Why must you insist that people try anything they don’t want…

I developed a dairy allergy. Lo and behold when I gave up dairy my skin cleared up within a week.

I totally know what you mean. I have IBS and I would get so nervous about what I was eating or scared that I wasn’t anywhere near a bathroom that I would freak out and give myself diarrhea. It’s gotten much better since I’ve learned how to manage my fear

The tone of this article is rude as fuck. It ends with the suggestion that your friend would want a vape because it’s cultural shorthand for asshole. I would be more than glad to suggest to you some really great artisan vegan cheese options and other stuff that your family would enjoy though.

I was recently diagnosed with a dairy allergy at the age of 40. It fucking blows. Partly because I love cheese more than I love most people, but largely because I can feel how annoying I am at every restaurant and most meals now. My husband tries to accommodate me but half the time I just end up shouting at him to…

I would have laughed and snarked at this a year ago but I’m on a very restricted diet and have to be gluten, dairy, soy and nightshade free. My medications wreak havoc on my gut. I’m the teary eyed bitch at restaurants drinking gin straight and smelling all the good shit I can’t eat anymore.

Thank you! I have gastroparesis which is a paralysis of the muscles that move food along through your digestive tract. I throw up almost every thing I eat. I’m losing weight without trying because I simply can’t eat. My GI doctor from the Cleveland Clinic told me no fruits, vegetables and only very easy to digest…

Ooh, I found Nibble Chocolate while hunting for Pokemon at Old Town (nothing but Rattatas, but there were a bunch of Scythers up the hill around the Junipero Serra museum. Also found a loquat tree).

kinda unrelated... but when i was working the kitchen in a pub we had a guy come in very clearly anounce his nut allergy and make damn sure his food contained absolutely no nuts....

Omg this friend is me. I hate it. I don’t have “allergies” but I do have fucking annoying adult acne that can only be controlled via extreme dietary restriction and yeah, it sucks. I’m getting treated for it and praying that I will soon be able to once again order a meal in a restaurant like a normal person.

So, a list of passive aggressive gifts you could give your friend to prove that you’re a selfish asshole who cares too much about how other people live their lives?
