Well-intentioned doctors put my friend Carla on a very restrictive diet which would either narrow down the source of a health issue or kill her . The long list of things she had to avoid covered most of the supermarket : avocados , onions , garlic , apples , pears , peaches , dairy products , anything with gluten , raw vegetables , and more . Meat , potatoes and tangerines were about the only things left . Shopping trips took twice as long because she had to scrutinize every label .
