People have scoffed and judged me for being gluten free or preferring veggies over meat. My preferences are mine, but I will explain anyway because this is political. First - I have chronic asthma, and cutting out wheat has enabled me to get off of prescription pills. Better to stick with rice & corn than be dependent on meds to breathe. Second, gluten free and eating veggies and seafood is actually not a hipster thing --- its a Filipino/POC thing. My way of eating is how folks in the Philippines eat, pre-Spanish/American occupation. Yes thats right. I eat fish, veggies, rice, and fruits (meat occasionally). Yes, it saves money too. Just because white folk coined a term and try to sell it back to us as healthy, doesnt mean we cant reclaim what was always ours before food corporations ruined our nutrition and crops. #RECOGNIZE #PersonalIsPolitical
