i'm vegan and have food allergies to garlic, bananas, peanuts, flax seeds and red and white beans. my partner is gluten intolerant so i don't eat wheat much either. i love food.

of course you don't have to be veg*n to broaden the variety of foods you consume (and some veg*ns do eat like crap, on the other hand) but i grew up in a pretty traditional food family (steak, chicken, pasta, pork chops, and fish, were bascially all we had for dinner) so by limiting myself to only plant foods i actually learned about so many different types of foods.
