    In the 1950’s a 21-year-old woman would probably be married with a child or two and spend each day preparing a home cooked dinner for her family. Today, a 21-year-old is most likely a student with a limited budget and limited time, which is where convenience foods come in to the picture. There is an increasing social trend of laziness among today’s younger generation, and convince foods contribute to this problem. According to Chapman (2012) compared to 26 years ago, today we devote six fewer minutes to cooking and cleaning up three meals a day. If this trend continues, our society will continue to see a rise in a multitude of problems including laziness, the loss of cooking skills, and…

    Research of potential food allergy treatments has focused on two primary outcomes: desensitization and tolerance. Desensitization occurs when there is a change in the threshold dose of a food allergen required to trigger an allergic reaction. Patients who are desensitized require regular exposure to the food allergen in order to continue this state of protection. If stopped, desensitization ceases and the risk of reaction upon exposure to the food allergen is higher. Tolerance allows for ingestion of a food allergen without continuous exposure and is the result of underlying immune system changes, but these may take significant time to develop.…
