Why Manufacturers Are Intentionally Adding Allergens to Their Foods

A trend we predicted in 2016 continues.

US based but it’s similar reasons in other countries. and of course many companies have international locations. idk if that’s why it’s happening with sour patch kids but this is a thing

I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the time, Kellogg’s notified Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) about the impending change and left it to them to warn the allergic community. In this case, Pearson’s didn’t even bother as near as we can tell."

Adding to this that some conditions make it easier to form new allergies, and one of the best ways to make it happen is to expose yourself to something you're already allergic to, at the same time as something you're not.

If you're unlucky and your body decides the protein structures look too similar on a microscopic level, you can loose the other food too.

So even if you survive that accidental exposure because of a missed label change, you might also gain MORE allergies in the process.

You DO NOT need to give every Black character you draw laid edges/baby hairs. Especially if they are children. Just because "baby" is in the name, do not assume that means children MUST have them. Learn how to draw a hairline. Learn to be okay AND NORMAL about foreheads and bald people. Learn why laid edges became a thing in the first place. Stop only ever drawing the ONE Black cultural hairstyle you saw on Pinterest, and running it to the ground like y'all did with the Killmonger locs.

imagine going on TUMBLR and being mad about seeing fan ocs or a self insert oc… what are you even here for

Zillennial isn't a real age group. And it shows in your behavior

Okay. I'll do your research for you since you probably are too young to have learned any of this yet. It's a bit esoteric, so I don't blame you for your ignorance. Zillennial is a term for a range of 2-3 birth years between millennials [gen Y] and gen Z. It got it's name in the 2010s for being a group that was often ostracized from both Y and Z groups for being "too close" to the other one. It's more commonly used for those of us who were raised alongside people in one or both groups.

I would love to close my door so I can sleep since it's 4am and I have WORK TOMORROW, but unfortunately, my cats love me

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

May 1, 2018

An old horror creature design of mine. A hood with a skull and long arms that fold into feathered hands at the shoulders. It overtakes and guides the wearer, though not entirely. They remain conscious while the creature binds with their mind.

It was not intentional inspired by any specific cultures or tales, but years later I found it to be somewhat similar to a comic representation of a South American Indigenous God, and it got me thinking.

I hope someday to be able to do some inspired worldbuilding with intention and giving the respect these cultures deserve.

Skull-masks are generally inspired by indigenous cultures, and my use of the beads and feathers had pretty undeniable subconscious and conscious inspirations. I hope to rework it later into something more respectful. And maybe to learn more about different nations use of beading along the way.

I really like painting lace by hand.

[silvermothsio]

Bringing this back to the top :3 I'm thinking of doing more for this game, but since it's an adult game I might end up saving it for a different account 😔

[silvermothsio]

I'm bored have an old sketch that's been sitting in my logs. The piece this was for got abandoned but it was a fun time thinking about it.

Can you guess the fandom?

A secret to getting better with drawing is to not erase any lines.
