  • Peanut/gluten allergies
  • It's for marketing, not health standards, plus a sprinkle of self-diagnosis signaling. Surprise, surprise though, that somebody with Celliac's still gets sick, or anaphylactic shock sets off due to impurities in overall industrial processes.

  • "Problematic", "toxic"
  • Definitely existed pre-The Current Year, and also industry driven. In this context it's common in feelgood therapist talk where they want to focus solely on positives. Everything that threatens the client's mood is labeled toxic and problematic. I am sympathetic towards not letting yourself become a sadbrains doormat, however it is unrealistic to expect that the world is there solely to enable your own hedonistic pursuits at all time without an investment (everyday work/struggle). Really enables a conflict adverse solipsitic culture.
