[Poll #1241007]

(I'm asking about the nature of the substance, not the process that led to it: I'm not asking whether you'll eat battery chickens or baby-killing coffee.)

Dairy products are odd for me - I can't drink milk or hot drinks with more than a small drop of milk in, because they give me terrible stomach ache and queasiness - the sort of symptoms lactose-intolerant people report. But I can eat cream, butter, and cheese without any problems of that sort (not altogether sure about cream because I haven't eaten that in any significant quantity for years). Kiwi fruit are the only other things I know I'm allergic to - they make my mouth swell up and tingle.

I'm a kind of slack vegetarian - I will occasionally eat fish when I'm eating out, although I know it's bad for environmental reasons, but I don't buy it for home consumption. I haven't knowingly eaten mammal or bird (or marsupial come to that) for about twenty years.
