I believe you, but what do you think it is in the food that causes such severe reactions for you but doesn't affect me at all? Humans lived through periods of extreme starvation and other forms of malnutrition—our genetics are extremely clear on this, as is our tendancy to cannibalize our muscles when they're underused. It seems absurd to me a slightly different selection of nutrients could cause acute distress. (Hence my recourse to psychology—which would map well with the shift towards the moralization of nutrition these past few decades.)

>I believe you, but what do you think it is in the food that causes such severe reactions for you but doesn't affect me at all? Food sensitivities are primarily a lot of medical questions, for which we have few answers. For example many fresh breads will give me stomach cramps and Rosacea. I can eat those same ingredients+amounts in other foods and be fine. Many fastfoods ramp my brainfog up to 11. I don't know why. I'm in a poor position to consider the issue while the brainfog is in play. I could consider it later but the best I can hope for is unsubstantiated guesses.
