Oh Jan, these people know how to push our buttons because they installed them! Many people of that generation do not understand that there has been a huge change in how food is grown and processed in the last 50 years. The chicken we eat is not the same thing they had for Sunday dinner.
It has been my experience that unless someone has gone through it, people do not understand things like sensitivity. Or, that you can be allergic to something and NOT break out in hives, but it will manifest itself in other ways. It's not that kind of "allergy".
My oldest son could not eat processed tomatoes (ie red sauce, tomato paste etc.) but he could eat Heinz ketchup, go figure. My grandmother would say that I was spoiling him. He LIKED spaghetti and pizza, he COULDN'T have it! She actually let him eat it! Luckily his allergy is mild and he only got a rash on his face!
