Southerly: Coming Up For Air, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
yeeeeah... it was the explosive diarrhea and intense abdominal cramping that was a little inconvenient.
the point i was getting at is that the kiwi wheat/dairy staples are easy enough to avoid, but maintaining it in the long term takes a fairly profound menu shift - hence the recipes (i've changed from spag bowl as go-to meal to rice-and-cold/hot-meats/curry).
but, no beans, no brassica, nothing with high levels of fructose, not wheat.
sure do eat a lot of oats these days, and corn. polenta, FTW.

Southerly: Coming Up For Air, in reply to Graeme Haywood,
+1.
i recently discovered a minor allergy to wheat and series of other things. short story: if it makes you fart, it was a problem.
so i've switched from a wheat-centric diet to a rice/potato-centric diet for starches. means i have to cook a lot of delicious, delicious curries and some japanese foods, but, it's just a sacrifice you have to make....
i largely gave up dairy a few years back, so the change wasn't too dramatic.
as a result the whole family has kind of moved to a non-wheat diet, and have focussed even more on wholefoods. happy to provide a few useful recipes if you need them. otherwise, do like the man says: eat the hell out of that lamb and local veges.

and therein the impossibility of certainty. what is it to be humane? to be inhumane?
i only know what time and tide has taught me is wrong. it could be different for you.

because they are inhumane.
watched 'oranges and sunshine' just the other night. watch that, and try then tell me that the god-fearing people spoken of have a humanity worth a damn.
(precis: 130,000 british children deported from "disgraceful" solo-parents families to australia between 1945 and 1970. the majority were locked in "orphanages". the rate of sexual, psychological and physical abuse - usually committed by clergy - was... appalling.

"it has to be acknowledged that many, many people have had a much tougher time than us."

your post suggested a dozen or so reasons why i need remain zen about my few petty troubles. always refreshing to have the perspective renewed.

indeed. 'what is humanity' is a question i've never really heard the answer to.
i've often thought it was best defined by what it is not. it is not the want to cause pain, or to wilfully hurt. it is not the willingness to take a life without thought to consequence. it is not the empty accumulation of more than you need when others have to go without.
i think you're humane when you understand why these types of actions are right or wrong.
