Food Allergies Portrayed in the Media (TV and Film) and That Food Allergy Scene in Netflix's "You". Includes an exhaustive list of clips and references of food allergies portrayed in movies and TV shows. Food allergies used to be portrayed as fluff content, something to laugh at. Characters would have comical reactions with no real consequences, epinephrine would be used incorrectly, etc. Recent shows such as Netflix’s “You” are showing anaphylactic reactions in a real way. Maybe this is a sign of progress.
