For my commonplace essay I will be writing a description of my analysis into whole grains and their effect on our bodies. We were recently told by my son's doctor (3 days ago) that he has wheat and dairy sensitivities that are slowly killing him. Obviously we immediately cut out all wheat and dairy from our regular diet. But you can't simply cut out two food groups without changing other dietary habits and avoid adverse effects. This change brought to my attention the groups of people who have chosen to say no to wheat and dairy. These people claim that wheat is killing ALL of us, because of the grain's protective poisons. But if this is true, why would we, as a culture, depend on grain as 50% of our daily diet? And what are the dangers of cutting out dairy and wheat together?
