Living With a Severe Food Allergy, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Showcases His Life at Food Festivals

Food festivals are a fun place to be and enjoy various types of foods. But they can be risky for someone who suffers from severe food allergies. Just like Joseph Baena, the son of former bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is suffering from severe nut allergies.

Living with a peanut allergy is very challenging in daily life because they have to avoid any nut-containing food despite its taste and aroma, which is a struggle of its own. Baena recently shared a video on his Instagram handle showcasing his challenges while eating at a food festival.

He was hesitating to try out new dishes because they contained nuts. He even had a close call by eating a dish containing nuts but luckily, he was stopped in time.

A nut allergy is a severe food allergy that can leave you with life-threatening conditions. He made a hilarious remark through his caption, saying, “Here is your POV if you were to take me, a grown man with a severe nut allergy, to a food festival,” highlighting his struggles while dining out. 

Baena was seen to be double-checking all the food items throughout the video. He enjoyed the meals that did not contain nuts.
