A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Me and my gf make ends meet ( sometimes not) just by being alive and eat, we go super rarely out and didn't had vacation the last 10 years.

Doesn't help that I got I'll and need to hold now a special food diet till I die which makes mostly everything I can eat like 2x as expensive and it was rough for us before my illness.

Easy solution: just don't be born in the first place.

What's your diet about, Celiac? I have Celiac and so have to eat strictly gluten free, of course. This means bread, pasta, crackers, baking flour, frozen pizza etc all cost twice as much, like you're saying. It's mainly smaller brands and priced like specialty/organic foods. I tend to eat mainly things that are gluten free by default and aren't special versions like potatoes, chicken, tofu, fresh green beans, tomatoes, sour cream and so on. I also have a tree nut allergy, so even some specialty resaurants are difficult. Not being able to eat at almost every restaurant is lame, but one bright side, it must save me a lot of money!
