My friend's mongoloid godson's twin sister has quite a few allergies since birth, among them or perhaps a separate condition is her inability to have meat of any kind...or else she dies. Part of her condition is she must also have it organic all the way. My friend's mother is also chemically sensitive. She keeps cats who are as sensitive as sentinels for early warning purposes(she gets to have extra pets and pay a lower pet deposit as they classify just like seeing eye dogs.) I generally give organic snacks as gifts because the only sorts of stuff she can eat cost 2-4 times more than what I buy. She is so badly off for so long, Disney resorts call her as the expert as to what sort of things they need to do in order to maintain compliance with the disability laws that affect businesses like theirs. The conditions these people live with aren't even their fault...a pest control company mixed things wrong and accidentally made nerve gas in her apartment. Her unborn son failed to develop eyes or a complete digestive system and had to be aborted. she would never be able to have any others after that. She is still in a lawsuit 18 years later now in no small part do to the fact that the official responsible for making certain that this sort of thing doesn't happen without severe penalties owns the company in question...and keeps getting re-elected.
could be worse
