Why do so many Northern Americans have so many allergies?

Question

I live in Eastern Europe and not one singular person I know has allergies.

Americans seems to have a sensibility to everything, gluten, peanuts, all types of foods and substances.

Why is that?

There’s a big difference between being allergic and having a preference. Most of those who say they’re gluten free, for example, don’t actually have celiac disease.
