As a chef and keen foodie I write a humor piece about allergies. I did some private research and found a massive divide between the USA, the U.K. and Canada and the rest of the world.

Especially in what we used to consider 3rd World. India, Africa etc. They have far far less issues of intolerance or allergy than U.K. USA or Canada.

Even in the Middle East it’s small by comparison. It was a startling bit of research for me.

Most of the countries that eat a more unprocessed and natural diet - most European cities too - have less issue.

The American diet is too processed and cleanliness via chemicals is not good for the body. We need a bit of dirt in our diet it seems

Great article. Thank you
