Started at the bottom of the allergy curve in early 2000 and the allergy curve just keeps going up

My daughter has had multiple food allergies since 2001.  I had no idea at the time that allergies would become so out of hand 12 years later.  Why such a high rise in food allergies among our children?  There has to be a link between the food we are eating now and that of our ancestors.  I just think that it all comes down to all the processed

food that we are ingesting daily.  Of course though there are also genetic and other factors along with it at play.  We should just go back to eating like we live on a farm and grow everything and cook like our grandmas fed us.  I wonder if you would see a difference.  I never use to be a good cook until my daughter was diagnosed with food

allergies.  Then I didn’t realize just how important it was going to become for me on a daily basis.  I am now glad I make my family delicious meals from scratch, it is definitely a healthier way to cook.

I really hope we can get so that the immune systems of allergic children don’t treat certain foods like this invading, foreign particle attacking them.
