I recommend everyone get food allergy testing.  I recommend a company called Immunolabs.  They use your blood to test weather or not you have a delayed allergic response to a range of foods.

My wife and I did it and found we both had a long list of allergies and had no idea.

My response to when I eat these foods is they make me tired, stressed, irritable and gassy.  I admit it is difficult avoiding these sometimes the benefit to avoiding them is worth it.

Most of these are low on the reaction scale (1-6) but still make a noticeable difference when I eat them.

Almonds
Avocado
Banana
All Gourds

Cashew Nut

Egg
Ginger
Nutmeg
Oat
Oregano
Pineapple
Safflower
Sage
Sunflower
Tomato
Baker’s Yeast
Brewer’s Yeast

I tend to buy more natural foods like organic, free-range etc. because I believe they are healthier and the animals are treated better.  However not all of these labels mean the same thing.  After looking at all the different definitions I think I have a new favorite, Certified Humane.

Seeing this video was just another reminder that the humane treatment of animals is important to me and that I should make the choice for Certified Humane when the option is available.  I suggest you all consider doing the same.

You can read more about truth in labeling here.

Here is a list of companies that are currently Certified Humane.

If anyone has a website they recommend for affordable certified humane food please post it in the comments.  I just requested that Trader Joes carry more certified Humane food so hopefully they will listen.  Feel free to request it as well to increase the likeliness it will happen.
