I Am the Food Intolerance You Failed to Plan For

I am not vegetarianism. Vegetarianism, with its reliance on cheese, is as outmoded as lampshades encased in pleated plastic.

I am not veganism. Veganism uses too many soy-based meat substitutes – those are death to me.

Gluten-free is old hat. Yes, I can’t absorb gluten but who can?

Dairy, as usual, is not an open-and-shut case. I can tolerate pure cream but nothing more affordable. Certain cheeses will work but no one can guess what they are.

Yes, you heard me – grains are out. Oh and carbs. Forget about potatoes, corn, yams, rice, bread –  including stuffing – and anything else pleasant. But that's not the intolerance.

Pies – no, never, not of any description. Fruit and fructose do not metabolize in my system. Cream-based food is poison to me (though not cream itself). Parfaits and other whipped desserts can deliver harmful electrolytes to my lacrimal glands. Chocolate-covered mints give me seizures.

You still haven’t guessed the intolerance.  

Gravy? You mean the oil-based goo laced with additives we pour over meat and carb substitutes? Well, I like it but it’s just common sense to avoid it but anyway that’s not the intolerance.

Oh all right, I’ll tell you. I’m following the Australopithecus diet – meat cured by dead flies and only the kinds of fish that were evolving in 900,000 B.C. I.e., tadpoles but not frogs; leeches but not eels. I can eat mitochondria.

Green beans? What part of 900,000 B.C. don’t you understand? Phaseolus vulgaris, or string beans, weren’t cultivated for human consumption until c. 400 B.C.

Squash looks pretty but it wasn’t available to our Australopithecan ancestors. We ate mostly Savannah grasses or grubs.

Grub substitutes can include risotto and farro but really should be actual insects.

Again, it’s not to be troublesome that I ask you to respect these dietary guidelines but because I have too much respect for my body to subject it to the elaborate poisons you’re putting on the table.

And no, I’m not mocking the physically handicapped – I just find it more natural to walk on all fours. Now please pass the cream.
