most people are allergic to gluten, but we are not taught on that, wheat products are usually the culprit that cause imflammation

QUOTE(cringe @ Oct 22 2020, 10:45 AM) Why our local hypermarket is not sensitive to certain people that have problem in consuming certain foods or products? It's down to customer segmentation and basic economics.Example that I can give is Gluten Free or Vegan friendly or nut/milk/egg free Other countries hypernarket already put label in certain food section where the food is Gluten free or anything that suitable for people with Special Needs. Yesterday I went to Village Grocer and I can see some of the food products are suitable for certain people. Some of the products are labelled as Gluten Free etc. Other big hypermarkets such as Aeon, Tesco, Giant are not bothered to do that or even carry the products that suitable for certain people . Asian hypermarkets always assume people need to read the food labels all the time. Hypermarkets target the mass market. Selling in large volume helps keep the price of products sold low relative to competition. The catch? You welcome every damn person from all ethnic groups, religious backgrounds, mindsets and purchasing power (majority of which are B40/low income earners/bargain hunters). If they're going to start selling products that are labelled as vegan/gluten free (much of which prices are overly inflated thanks to marketing), what makes you think the mass majority who are B40/illeterate/are educated until high school will even bother to consider buying gluten free rolled oats selling at RM20 for 1kg vs non-gluten free oats for 1kg selling at RM15? |

QUOTE(cringe @ Oct 22 2020, 11:38 AM) That's why these kind of awareness is important. cos we have free medication from gov clinics, whatever happen, telan pills, never thought of the source of the problem comes from the food they intact, even if they thought of that, I think they don't really care, as those food they eat daily passed down generations already.But people here attacked me. We can improve to be better. |

Coz statistically our ppl dont have those kind of allergies - it is more of an issue in the western countriesExample that I can give is Gluten Free or Vegan friendly or nut/milk/egg free Other countries hypernarket already put label in certain food section where the food is Gluten free or anything that suitable for people with Special Needs.

QUOTE(potatoespotate @ Oct 22 2020, 10:58 AM) Because we merehsian not pandans. Coz halal market is the majority of populationIn all seriousness tho, if there isn't a large enough niche to profit from who gives a fak, companies wanna make profit, if pandan market tak cukup besar who wanna serve? HACCP standards require food industry to identify and label allergens, but I feel like our gomen can't really be bothered to enforce that tbh. Also if labelling lama tak de tulis, to change all packaging banyak mahal, Chinaman boss give a fak kalau gomen tak mau enforce ka? They more busy with halal issue imo. In the end its all about money |

QUOTE(cringe @ Oct 22 2020, 11:41 AM) lain business model. Not everyone care about vegan/allergy, so it's a niche that cost more to implement and have little effect. If allergy literacy increase, people will prefer go to shops that properly label/clasify/separate and differentiator to other shops. When? Currently only see health food shop or pharmacy, but maybe 5 years more will see increase in labeling, 10 years until supermarket also follow pattern |

QUOTE(cringe @ Oct 22 2020, 10:45 AM) TLDR no moneydoing these things require money; money will only be spent if there is a profit; there is no profit if there are no customers willing to pay to have these things done market forces; fact of life QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ Oct 22 2020, 10:45 AM) actually, a lot of Asians have problems, but we just don't give a shit, so they suffer in silenceI have several friends with allergies - milk and alcohol, most notably - and they just dismiss it because they're not interested in dealing with the problems... they say they can live with the side effects QUOTE(james.6831 @ Oct 22 2020, 10:48 AM) gluten free seems to be a problem with 1st world countries muahaha we're 3rd world country, our stomach can handle it... rise in allergies are correlated with developing society, but nobody knows why. there are (at least) 2 major lines of investigation:1) developing society does something to our diet so we develop allergies OR 2) the number of allergy sufferers are the same, they just become more detectable as healthcare screening improves but since we have not a fucking clue WHY we have allergies to start with, we have even less of a fucking clue which of these is correct either lucifer_666 liked this post
