25. I'm allergic to tomatoes.

It's called a nightshade allergy because tomatoes are part of the deadly nightshade family along with tobacco and eggplants. Deadly nightshade is also known as belladonna. It has atropine in it. It's what they make eye drops out of that the eye doctor uses to dilate your eyes. It also makes your heart beat race. I have gone to the eye doctor and gotten my eyes dilated and then couldn't sleep the next night.

So I can't eat pizza. I've had to go out to eat where places would bring in pizza for everyone to eat, like it was a treat. I can't eat tomatoes or I will go to bed for two days feeling horrible and drag myself to the bathroom with an inflamed butt (sorry for the TMI).

No, the whole world cannot live on pizza and I am one of those who cannot.

I read labels. All the campbell's chunky soups with beef in them have tomatoes in them. I can eat the light colored ones with potatoes and broccoli and cheese in them.

No shellfish or bell peppers either.
