it is best to avoid whatever has been marked as an avoid for your type and secretor status.

choosing to eat avoids is entirely an individual matter..........

so you personally do not eat oatmeal, strawberries, and goat cheese?

maybe i shouldn't either just to be safe.

comper, even before knowing my present status, I did not consume those, either.

Perhaps instead of focusing on the btd for an explanation of your food choices you should try something that can be proven to your mother. (Something your mother knows to be fact) Perhaps tell her that you're trying to cut out red meat because it's bad for you or you dont like all the hormones in the meat and chicken. You could also tell her that you dislike factory farming. She may be understanding. You'll get to follow the btd with fewer complaints.

good point!
