Take the issue with the tomatoes that figured so prominently at the
beginning: anyone with arthritis is well advised to avoid eating
tomatoes and sweet peppers. Lots of people have arthritis, and some of
them garden. Why not deal with the subject of food allergies and
modern diets? What new things could be brought to GW on this topic?
What new fruits and vegetables could be introduced, and why?


It is aimed at gardeners, not at food allergy sufferers.


What makes you think that the two have no overlap, especially since so
much time on GW is dedicated to growing fruit and vegetables?

I guess that you see no connection at all between what you grow and
what you eat, and even less between what you eat and health issues..

The connection between arthritic pain and tomatoes (and the other
nightshade palnts) is not an allergic one, so your objection is
irrelevant to the point I made.

I guess this current format of GW suits you admirably.
