We avoid it because my girlfriend is allergic to it; which seriously limits what foods we can buy from the store.

I don't understand how that's even possible. Is she also allergic to all fruit and most vegetables?

Yeah, I don't know how it works. She's actually also allergic to Canola oil, so she's basically a walking litmus test for packaged foods.

She's not allergic to any fruit, but is allergic to potatoes and onions (which made bringing her home to meet my Irish family an interesting experience). Oh, and beef and dairy.
