What really sucks about gluten free stuff (apart from it never being as good as the original) is that it's often lumped in with dairy free/vegan and I'm just sitting here like whyyyyy where am I supposed to get protein from huh?? And my calcium for my thrice-at-risk-of-osteoporosis bones??? And have you ever tried vegan stuff/food made with dairy alternatives that aren't pure rice or coconut milk? They're gross! Macaroni cheese, but you're not allowed the fuckin cheese on top of not being able to have real pasta???? Hell. Nightmare. Gimme my DAIRY! I bet anyone with a dairy allergy isn't having fun with the gluten free side either. Yuck. And while I'm on a Rant, why the FUCK are you putting fuckin apple in the gluten free version of JAFFA CAKES?????? Just... why why why are they trying to cater to all these things at once. Terrible. The only overlap I'm thankful for is the nut free thing, bc if you're ever in a cafe or wherever their gluten free cake is 95% likely to contain nuts bc apparently anyone wanting gluten free is also a fuckin vegan and capable of eating nuts?? Bleh. Even the shit in shops is more often gluten & dairy free/vegan than it is gluten free & nut free. I'm dying here. I'm starving. I'm withering away and I'm full of spite and rage at the predatory pricing and the extorionate shit I have to face any time I want to eat food.

#signed: a disabled person who can't cook but would like to be able to eat #and also doesn't have that much money to afford the extortionate but severely shitty food on offer #i have SO MANY ALLERGIES and taking away the one joy (dairy) is evil evil evil #just gimme it okie #yes it makes my tummy hurt but cheese is my ambrosia and lactase tablets are a gift from the gods #i'm desperately trying to get the calories and nutrients i need but fucking hell #it's so extremely hard that i actually don't have the energy for this shit #vegans are obviously a lucrative market but i wish they'd fuck the hell off away from free from food #because some people actually need that and for us it's not a trendy thing to do #(btw going gluten free if you're not a coeliac or gluten intollerant apparently isn't good for you)#i utterly detest having to eat it's such a horrible experience bc i can't even find meals that are safe #the things i find are like 'kirsty's kitchen mac & cheese' containing neither mac nor cheese #and also barely containing 'food' only 40% of the container is used and said food is a gross grey-green colour #and they added a smoky flavour so the thing tasted like a fuckin mushroom dish #who the FUCK wants smoky macaroni cheese? never ever ever heard of that as an option before #and i twas so bad i threw a stupidly expensive meal away #it was THAT BAD #yeah okay i just wnat to give up and die now bc this is so upsetting and just ugh i wan FOOD OKAY????#i'm so hungry #I'M SO FUCKIN HUNGRY
