Lawyers are one of them!

    Why did we not hear of these mass allergies 30 years ago? Some of it is 80% of the food in a supermarket would not have been on the shelf 80 years ago. I belive all of the processing of food making it junk has alot to do with this matter.
    A relatively small percentage of the population have true allergies. A good deal more claim to, or believe they are allergic to certain things. Perhaps they got sick once after eating something, and now think they are allergic. Same goes with people with service dogs, or those who park in handicap spaces because their legs hurt (but probably best not to start that conversation). In any case, TRUE allergies are life-threatening and not something that is merely there to annoy the rest of us. Why are there more reports.....better communication. You hear about stuff that happens on the other side of the world 2 hrs ago these days. Secondarily, medicine manages to keep people with various medical issues alive. Centuries ago if you had diabetes....you died. You had bad eyes, you fell off a cliff (or couldn't hunt effectively). Nowadays, medicine, glasses, less hazardous lives....people live, reproduce, and pass on those genes.
