Food allergies can develop during perimenopause and menopause, creating uncertainty about food choices and frustration with food planning. My exclusively breastfed son was diagnosed with 12 food allergies in infancy, so my experiences with food allergies were filled with heightened awareness and ongoing worry.

You likely have an opinion about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), either based on little tidbits of information collected online or by experiencing a gut reaction to the concept.  After researching the topic with my middle schooler, I realized that I had a lot to learn about GMOs. Admittedly, my feelings about GMOs did change after helping her complete the project. I have since become more concerned about the potential allergenic effects of GMOs.
