Welcome back people of the internet. 2025 is the age of dietary restrictions, dismantled traditions, and gender norms being far from "normal." Everyone is this or that, but you can't ask them about it, even if you really, really want to. It's the time for hush hush, censorship, cancel culture, and blindly accepting that the world is quickly changing.

Speaking of dietary restrictions, when I was growing up, it was impossible not to get an evil sneer for not eating what everyone else was eating. And what everyone else was eating was mayo and ham sandwiches on white and nutritionally-bereft Wonder bread. I was bestowed the weird one, not only for my small size and red hair, but I was born with a severe corn allergy. So basically everything processed (which was the American diet back then) was forbidden for me to eat. I'll never forget the questioning, confused, and judgmental looks from other kids when I whipped out a bag of dates instead of having the birthday cake. These days, it's almost like you're not cool unless you come to school as 10-years-old claiming you're allergic to garlic as of last night. So here's to first world problems, enjoy the story below.

    My friend invited me over for dinner. Our tradition is to bring food when invited to dinner. I asked if I should bring a dessert. She said that would be great but it needs to be dairy free because her daughter stopped eating dairy.

  • As all the commenters are saying, this woman is an idiot. If she thinks that dairy pertains to anything that comes from an animal, then she's in for a nasty awakening to realize that meat and dairy are absolutely not the same thing. I hope she learns the truth at some point.

    I know a great cake recipe with no dairy. I brought it to the dinner and it was a big hit. My friend asked for the recipe and I told her. When I got to the eggs her daughter became upset and ran upstairs.

    My friend asked why I put eggs in the cake. I said the eggs were responsible for the spongy texture. She said the cake wasn't dairy free. I said it was. There is no milk or milk products in the cake, no cheese, no butter, etc...

    My friend said eggs are dairy. I was confused. Dairy is milk and milk products to my understanding. She said dairy is anything that comes from an animal. I asked if honey is

    dairy then. She said no, because bees are insects. I apologized, but I could tell she was still upset.
