Lunch ideas

These are actually amazing??? This can really help me eat more??? And are legit good and creative lunches??? THANK YOU IM AAAAAAAAA-

Good for spoonies who like to pre-prepare stuff when they do have some extra spoons

Lovely idee, everyone who can, go for it. Healthy food is super important!

Awareness note: number of those lunch boxes I can eat 0/16.

In the discussion about healthy food, how to change your diet and how to be more aware of what you eat in general, people by default forget those who suffer from food allergies.

We aren’t vegetarians, we aren’t vegans, we aren’t a loud minority. We are the silent minority who doesn’t want to inconvenience anyone, who gets funny looks because they don’t eat certain foods, who’d like to eat tons of stuff but simply can’t, who get excluded for something that isn’t our choice but a necessity.

I’m allergic to raw fruit and veggies. The only nuts I can eat are peanuts (which is a joke in itself given how dangerous peanut allergy is). I’m allergic to soy. I have to regulate my intake of sugar (highly), gluten (moderately), and cow milk (this includes specific kinds of cheese). I also shouldn’t consume processed food because the doctors think I react badly to food additives, which is code for “we have no idea what put you in the hospital, but we think it’s something you ate”.

I see 16 boxes of wonderful, delicious food here, that would all make me various kinds of sick.
