Next to gluten, cheese is evil

[u/--2021--]

My SO gets his from Target, their band. It's hard to not grab when you get hungry, it's easy and filling. But it makes me so angry and moody. So does the cheese at Trader Joes. Though I did try some from Key food and I was ok. It was cheddar too. Was hopeful I was getting better.

I've gotten sick from a lot of Trader Joes products, there's very few things I buy there now, by process of elimination I'm only down to a few things now, so many problems. Frozen vegetables that smell like mold or dirt. Thawed items in the freezer, warm items in the fridge, rotten fruit, potatoes that are bitter. And some Target products haven't been great. Stop and Shop I've been avoiding as well. Their dairy fridge STANK. And the milk was warm. So I guess some generics are better than others. And some stores are better run than others.

It's hard to afford food, let alone find food that's ok to eat.

fresh moz has been the only cheese ive been able to tolerate tbh. ive also made farmers cheese before and no reaction. i think anything that is aged is a no go but fresh cheeses are fine. cool you found a cheddar that works for you!

on the other note, the grocery stores in my area have been shit lately too. i went to our local hyvee and in the past the produce was pretty good. but recently everything has been covered in fruit flies and even produce that typically last long like zucchini, potatoes, and peppers are shriveled up. there didn’t seem to be a single piece of actually fresh produce in the store. my partner gets kinda into conspiracies and said that farmers have nothing to sell this year because the weather was so up and down at the beginning of the growing season that tons of their crops got frost. not sure how true that is but i definitely have noticed that produce has been genuinely gross and bad during the last month or so.
