Today’s episode is all about faking a food allergy. Yep, you read that right. Faking an allergy. Valencia discusses how there are people who fake having a food allergy, why you should not fake a food allergy, why non-allergic people should take food allergies seriously, and the consequences that come along with faking a food allergy. It’s never okay to fake allergies and have allergies “part time”. 

Whether you are guilty of faking a food allergy or know someone who has, you should definitely give this episode a listen. Learn why non-allergic people should recognize the seriousness of food allergies and that a food allergy is different from choosing to eat a certain way and live a certain lifestyle (dairy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc) on purpose.
