MILK versus MYLK, what's the deal?
Amanda from the blog
Everyday Allergen-Free joined Kortney to explore what spelling milk with an 'I' versus milk with a 'Y' means and how it can impact someone’s experience with that food.
This lead to a discussion about feeling left out when you have food allergies and whether getting an allergy-safe version of a classic food makes you feel included or different.
What we cover:
- Inclusive language for those with food allergies.
- When did the alternative spelling of MYLK show up?
- How does speaking milk with a y help or hinder those with a dairy allergy?
- Feeling left out/longing for what you can’t have, especially when you have food allergens in the house.
- Does an allergy-safe version of a food make you feel included or different?
- What terms can you use to talk about allergy-safe food replacements.
- The attitude to have when trying to recreate foods that contain an allergen.
- What does the ‘real’ version of a recipe mean for an allergy person?
- The different trends in plant based milk.
