Eat a Mile In My Shoes

In honor of Food Allergy Awareness Month (who knew?), Food Allergy Initiative is challenging people to give up a favorite food for a week as an exercise in awareness-raising and solidarity.

I, on the other hand, am taking it a step further. I'm challenging you to avoid a food for a week, as if you're actually allergic to it

is that a CHALLENGE!?

Reading labels has been a constant in my life since I went vegan, but it's gotten so much easier since they started emphasizing the big 8 on ingredient labels. I also am only avoiding certain ingredients out of personal choice. I can only imagine how bad it'd be to avoid because of some horribly severe allergy. I'm sorta lazy, but am intrigued by the challenge...Instead of going for one non-big eight allergen and making a bajillion phone calls I'll try avoiding all big eight and being severely inconvenienced.
