Some Trends in Society are Good Ones

Post by DJ »

Thankfully, some trends in society are good ones.

Not so long ago, turkey was a Holiday treat. Now it's available year-round as whole birds, breasts, parts, ground, sausage, and burgers.

Not so long ago, coconut products were scarce. Now they are everywhere as refrigerated milk alternatives, canned coconut milk, canned and boxed coconut water, and coconut flour. Note: Watch out for coconut flour, it's very high fiber.

Not so long ago, gluten-free products were a rare find. I'm finding excellent things now that specify that they are gluten-free.

Not so long ago, sweet potatoes and winter squash was seasonal. Not now!

Not so long ago, food labeling was far less specific. Now I have much more information about what I'm eating.

Having MC is a challenge but thankfully, societal trends are addressing our needs.

DJ,

And thanks to MC, we are motivated to take advantage of all those options, otherwise we might have never bothered to do so. :grin:

And obviously many, many others are also taking advantage of all those options, otherwise they wouldn't be offered, so clearly we have a lot of company.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
