yep; put a baby and a puppy on the kitchen floor, allow to roll around. latherrinserepeat, take outside latherrinserepeat. i feel like there are parents who inadvertently give their kids issues, like peanut allergies and celiac disease by forcing food fads (gluten-free!) on their kids. am 58 yo lady pede, and i don't recall a single kid w/ peanut allergies or calling off bake sales bc of potential food allergies. bake sales were our "go to" fund raisers and now i understand they're almost non-existent.
i never said that peanut allergies and celiac disease weren't real. i am suspicious of the rise of these medical issues in children when they seemed rare before. i grew up living all over the country and internationally, so was around a large variety of people from different countries and cultures in the 70's/80's. i don't even recall hearing about peanut allergies until the late 90's. i think some of these conditions can be triggered/created in some people who don't have them by withholding certain foods in early life, and then being exposed to them at a later time. it happens in reverse, too---our bodies change every 7-10 years; i became allergic to milk (which i used to LOVE and drink gallons) at the age of 55. i recently received indication that walnuts and i no longer share the same loving relationship we used to. i'm a lil pissed about that.
Agree on all except the gluten free. Wheat is GMO now and I think it is the cause of many of the other allergies. It destroys the gut. Gluten free food isn't better nutrition-wise though.
