Allergies bro.

So first things first, I'm thinking of possibly deleting this blog and starting a new, nicer one that isn't me just rambling about rambling sort of things, otherwise I will just somehow makeover everything if that is even possible. Now, onto what this post is actually about. People who know me in person know that I can't eat jack-shit. This is due to several food allergies that myself and my family suffer from. My list includes; gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, artificial colours and artificial flavours (the artificial flavouring and colouring is mostly because wheat is used quite commonly in them both but my body just doesn't deal with them well). Along with my allergies my body can't handle over-processed food, I think mostly because of the lack of nutrients my immune system is a little rubbish. I basically live off fruit and vegetables, I'm not vegetarian, just not the biggest fan of meat, but every now and then I crave biscuits, and cake, and slices and everything I cannot have. Obviously, baking my own delicious treats is always a possibility and conveniently I love baking, but sometimes I'm just so beyond starving and ultra lazy I have to buy something, which always proves a challenge. UNTIL, I found these beauties. These are, as you can probably read for yourself; gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free, soy free, nut free and vegan. Which is beyond perfect!! And since they a little kiddies biscuits they are also pretty tasty, well at least I think so but I'm used to eating cardboard. I don't know about the rest of the world but here, in New Zealand, you can find this brand, 'Orgran' in most supermarkets and are reasonably priced considering they are gluten free and there are a fair amount of cookies in the packet. I picked mine up for about $4.30.
