Video Is It Safe to Eat Eggs? Expert Gives Two Tips
Professor Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist at King's College London, shares a video with key advice to apply to eggs before eating them.
A relationship situation involving food allergies and a woman's need to be a picky eater has generated a lot of discussion on social media, with over 5,000 reactions and nearly 2,000 comments so far.
The woman, who identified herself as a 24-year-old mother of an 8-year-old child, said she became pregnant as a teenager and had “virtually no relationships” since the child's birth.
“My daughter has a condition known as ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder),” she wrote. “This means that her diet is extremely restricted and is closely related to her ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). I do not force her to eat certain foods that are 'unsafe foods' for her.”
The girl's mother noted that since her diagnosis, she has been “sure that I might have this condition too, but I cook for both of us and provide for myself, so it doesn't bother me every day to the point that I have to constantly think about it.”
Then, “about a month ago,” the woman wrote, “I went on a date… We had dinner and it was great. He was so open to meeting my daughter in the future and being part of the family.”
“We had dinner and it was wonderful. He was so open to meeting my daughter in the future and being part of the family,” the woman (not pictured) wrote. (iStock)
She added: “I'm only in serious relationships so yeah it was discussed on the first date haha.”
She said that the “second date” with the man took place quite recently. “I went to his house [to watch] a movie. Then he cooked dinner.”
Unfortunately, she admitted, “it looked great [but] I felt terrible telling him I couldn't actually eat it.”
She continued: “Usually if something is considered unsafe for me (e.g. processed cheese, vinegar), I'll still try to eat it out of politeness, and then just feel uncomfortable and cry. But he added my one 'hard no' to the dish. Mayo. I hate it.”
But “more importantly,” she noted, “I do have an egg allergy. A pretty severe one.”
She said the man knew about it “as I told him on our first date. He was calm during the meeting.” But when “he offered me food [at his home], I apologized for not being able to eat it.”

The man then mentioned that they needed to help her “get over this mayonnaise problem.”
He added that the woman's daughter also had to “overcome” her difficulties.
The woman wrote: “I was very angry at this comment and responded sharply that I would not eat his disgusting dish and would not talk about my daughter like that.”
She said he “immediately apologised, saying he didn't mean it that way and that it was a stupid and crude joke. I apologised for calling his food disgusting – it actually looked very appetising.”
The couple then ordered food from McDonald's, she said, “and I came home shortly after. He seemed fine.”
She later said she texted the man to tell him she “had a lot of fun and was sorry about the situation.”
He replied that everything was fine, but again “reminded” her that she had called his food “disgusting” and refused to eat it.
“He completely ignored the allergy part,” she said, “and was like, 'You really need to get over this… This is childish and this is no way to raise kids.' Something like that.”
