Everyone has one - that relative that refuses to believe your food allergies are real, or who just can't understand what they mean. "She's just a picky eater," says Uncle Bob. "I didn't put any dairy in this cake, just butter!" exclaims Aunt Ethel. "Just one bite won't hurt him," says Grandma, "he has to try my peanut butter pie!"

Share your story about relatives who, with the best of intentions, try to poison you with food allergens.
