wtf is it with sandwich shops using those spicy red onions?

Raw onion does make your mouth taste like onion for the rest of the day, but they don't overpower the taste of stuff like green bell peppers. Anything containing green bell peppers taste like green bell peppers and nothing else. 😛

Orders onion in a sandwich.

Complains that onion tastes too much of onion.

I had no idea there would be onions on the sandwich, lest I would have asked for without. This is the first time I can recall having eaten at a Panera.

Don't get me wrong, I like onions. Just not really strong, overpowering ones.

Irony: I ordered the French Onion soup on purpose. I <3 French Onion soup.

Yeah, just yanking your chain. 😛

And French Onion soup is great but my wife makes me open the bedroom window before bed if I eat it. 🙁

I feel your pain. Really I do. I wonder what that bowl of French Onion is going to do to my freshly repaired digestive tract...

how is that crazy?

Or did you grow up on Kraft Macaroni and Cheese "flavored food product"?

Because thats the same as a onion.

Also Kraft introduced that "flavored food product" in 1937.

I'm pretty sure most of the older people on this forum has grown up with it.
 
I'm a fan of all kinds of onion. The only one I don't like is the stupid Vidalia. Fuckin' Georgians trying to put one over on the rest of the country. They say it's sweet, but they taste the same as a yellow onion at three times the price.

Because he claims a few years and allergies have been on the rise for 40. There's also a multitude of reasonable hypothesis's as to why it might be happening (lots of correlation but no causation yet). To bank on one of them is in fact crazy.

Don't read more into my post than what I actually said. I am not "banking" a conclusion on one fact. Like most things in life, our issues with food is most likely a combination of influences. It's hard to discard the changes in food manufacturing as one of those contributing factors.

And the term "few" can be relative... I didn't mean it literally. In the scope of how long humans have been producing food, the amount of time that we've been f'ing with nature is what I meant by a few years.

Loosely referring to a few isn't ever going to equal forty. That you were unclear isn't my problem, and your defense of it sounds a lot more like backtracking than clarifying.

There's no evidence that changing diets is causing what you say, but you say it with conviction. I'm sorry you're crazy.

lol. You can't simply point out a change in one thing, point out a change in another thing, say that there is "No doubt" a correlation between the two, not provide any reasoning why, backpedal to "Well, there has got to be some influence there", and expect anyone to take you seriously.

well, I didn't read his comment as saying that it was the one cause. I read it as a pragmatist would: we are facing a lot of strange health issues, and our diet has been pretty whack for the last several decades...


as for allergies and such, I'm fascinated by this growing project that is investigating the changing state of the human microbiome:

Learn what pragmatic is and that correlation != causation.
