Now that's a breakfast SOS and French Market coffee.
View attachment 391161

Usually, it is scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage. This morning the wife got fancy and made ham and cheese omelettes.

I love SOS. I found out I have Celiac disease about 25 years ago, so toast and gravy are off the menu. No biscuits and gravy, no chicken fried steak etc. The gluten free versions just aren’t the same so I don’t bother. ☹️

My wife has Celiac also. We use a French and or,an Italian flour, strange as it sounds, it's not gluten free but it never bothers her and she's very sensitive. We have other friends with Celiac and they also use it safely. I don't have the disease but I use the flour, tastes as good as the U.S. contaminated flour. Look it up. Other countries have better food rules than U.S.😖

No glyphosate saturation on the grains......
That's why I only drink European beers as well. Their wine isn't tainted with it like ours is either.
Lot's of stories of Americans being able to eat the bread in European countries.

We need change in our country. Many of our friends suffer from Celiac and other food allergies that can't tolerate American wheat products but have no trouble with the French and Italian wheat products. So what's the problem with with our standards??? G-M-O

Thanks for the tip!
I am going to look into that.

This could he the culprit of many "food allergies".
Mmmm, glyphosate kills grass weeds so all cereals (wheat, barley, corn, triticale et al) would be killed if they had glyphosate applied. Vineyards find that the flowers and young buds are susceptible to burn from glyphosate so they tend not to use it too so I very much doubt it is this causing any allergies with gluten or wine products. Quite a lot of wines are clarified with dairy products and there is always a legacy of these in some wines which may or may not lead to allergies and Italians use Durum wheat for their flour which is different enough from traditional wheat that it may not trigger a celiac response. This said I'm no scientist or allergy specialist but I am a farmer and I do know what will kill my crops and Glyphosate will.

Exactly. It's applied at the end of the season to dry out the grain (kill) to make it easier to harvest.
Every American wine tested (other than organic) has shown to be tainted with glyphosate.

Very rarely is this done and it would only be such a small percentage of the crop total in any country. Its generally done to kill the low tillers which are produced with wet weather after grain set and not to dry the grain and given the last few years in the worlds grain production areas it would be such a small sample size it would be untraceable in a sea of grain that is produced annually.

Quick search:

In the United States, the use of glyphosate has increased dramatically since the introduction of genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops in 1996. By 2016, the nation used an estimated 287 million pounds of glyphosate, which is equivalent to about 130,000 tons.56 This significant increase is largely due to the widespread adoption of genetically modified crops that are resistant to glyphosate, allowing for more extensive use of the herbicide.
