Don't put down hippy vagina until you have sampled it. It ain't that bad. |

It's just a fad. It used to be "fat free" or "low fat." Long ago it was "low calorie." In between it was "high in fiber." Remember bran? Stand by for The Next Big Thing(tm).

Just a glance through the first page.
19/50 of respondents either have a gluten intolerance or are close to somewhat who does. I didnt count the number of people who were afflicted (ie: the guy with 4 celiac kids were counted as 1) Of course there is some slection bias as people who are "intolerant" are more likely to click on the thread. But 38 fucking percent? Marketing is a powerful beast. Enjoy your almond flour

People diagnose themselves with all kinds of things incorrectly. They are only looking for answers to solve problems that a doctor hasn't figured out for them. My sister in law started doing the gluten free stuff because she thought it may help a skin condition that the dermatologist hadn't really helped. She learned that gluten wasn't her problem...no harm caused.
If it helps some that suffer with different conditions or diseases then that's great. It causes harm to no one. |

That she have a lifelong autoimmune disease that will likely kill her in the form of intestinal cancer OR that she's a dumbshit who follows fad diets? I honestly wasn't sure. |

Just for the record I paid thousands of dollars to have 2 of my 4 kids gene tested to confirm celiac disease. I felt they were to young to go through the endoscopy. Wife and 2 oldest kids were confirmed by endoscopy.
I eat gluten probably everyday but wife and kids certainly do not eat it on purpose. I don't think any of you tough guys laughing at people avoiding eating gluten would enjoy seeing your 5 year old vomiting for an hour because they ate something that was contaminated with gluten. |

I don't care about gluten, or carbs.. or whatever diet that is trendy.
I just know that if I eat less carbs after say about... 1500. I lose weight. So I try to eat my carbs in the morning then none after I get home from work. I try to cut out as many non natural sugars as possible. Thats it. |

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Why is it I can't walk in to a grocery store without every damn thing being proudly vaunted as "gluten free?" Even things which do not and never have contained any wheat product whatsoever in them are marketed this way. Are there that damned many celiacs a out there? No, there is not, but what there is is a bunch of simple minded dumb fucks being lead around by pop-nutrition that have no fucking idea what gluten even fucking is or why it is supposedly "bad," they just mindlessly follow whatever the TV and their clueless friends tell them, so now all the fucking country must be marketed to like we all have a fucking wheat allergy all so these dumbasses think they are eating "healthy" when they slam down their 16 inch extra everything pizza made with the magical "gluten free" dough. These are the same people who think that undersized, misshapen, bug eaten, and three times the cost of everything else "organic" food is somehow better just because it is grown using 18th century farming technology, these ignorant fucking Luddites don't even know the definition of the word organic, but the TV says it's good for them. I just watched some idiot go through the grocery store checkout line prostolatizing all within earshot about the "evils" of gluten and vaccinations which to her tiny brain cause autism, all evidence to the contrary aside. People completely lack all critical thinking skills anymore, and they vote. Don't fall for the hype. Just keep taking your statins and eat all the gluten you want, you'll be fine. |

I'm talking about those who post in every fast-food related thread they "can't eat that stuff because it gives me the shits for a week" (or similar). There was a lengthy "McDonalds not doing well financially" thread last week. LOTS of "I can't eat that stuff" posts--as opposed to "I choose to eat healthier stuff." Delicate individuals can't do a lot of things, which is about them, which likewise doesn't make it any more "manly" for normal men and their diet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Such a level of idiocy expressed in this thread. Several million people have celiac disease; many millions have low grade reactions. The gluten of today is not the same as 40 years ago. "Big food" changed it genetically. The changes they made should require hundreds of generations of evolution to adapt. Instead, it's hardly 2 generations. You idiots in your twenties who can pound shit on a daily basis have no idea what happens in your forties, after consuming toxic unnatural food like substances for several decades. Drink a sixpack at age 20; drink a sixpack at age 40. If you think it's gonna feel the same, then you're still 20. There is so much crap in our food system it's unbelievable. And the way it affects you at a slightly more advanced age is dramatically different than when you were a kid. Gluten and wheat in general are not natural in terms of where we are as human beings. But none of this rant matters: No reason for anyone to take anyone's word. Just stop consuming wheat and gluten for 6 weeks or so; then add it back in and see how you feel. If there's no change, you're right. I'm betting there would be lots of surprised folks around here if you actually tried this little experiment. But it's more fun to complain about stupid marketing, while eating your bowl of cocoa puffs. Giladin, the perpetrator protein in the protien composite that is gluten has had the same amino acid sequence since the dawn of fucking time. If it changed it would be gluten anymore. Know how I can tell this here idiot in his 20s has a higher level of education than you? Then again by 40 you've had alot of chemtrail exposure. |

I'm glad your son has more selection, but the thread is a rant on stupidity and gullibility. These people have no reason at all to avoid gluten, yet they loudly insist that they must avoid it, they are stupid. The sheer stupidity is annoying, but what is really problematic is that while the supply of gluten free stuff for those who legitimately need it is increasing, the supply of real food is going down, which is a problem because the gluten free is more expensive and has that bland lifeless hospital food taste to it, and as others have mentioned it's really not as good for you. It wouldn't bother me nearly so much if there was a reason for it, but there's not, it's just pure stupidity and sheep behavior. Quote HistoryQuoted:

For people like my wife (Celiac), the idiots are welcome. If it wasn't for them driving the market to produce more gluten free products, those with Celiac would have far fewer options. I kinda feel the same. One of my kids has a gliadin allergy. Gliadin is also a wheat protein (and some other cereals), so GF is his lifestyle. Couple of years ago it was next to impossible to feed him any real variety of foods, he was frustrated, and angry. Now, there are full aisles of GF foods in every major market, breads and pastas that are actually edible, entire companies manufacturing GF lines, better labeling across the board, etc. And the simple fact (that many often forget), is that a GF diet is much healthier than a wheat based diet. Processed wheat, and the high carb, high calorie, high glycemic index foods are just plain bad nutrition. So I can't get too mad at the crazies. Their market influence has given my son a much wider range of choices. I'm glad your son has more selection, but the thread is a rant on stupidity and gullibility.

At first you loose weight because you're eating the obviously gluten free things. Meat, vegetable, fruits, less packaged sugar stuff. But then you learn what is gutted free.

You idiots in your twenties who can pound shit on a daily basis have no idea what happens in your forties, after consuming toxic unnatural food like substances for several decades. Drink a sixpack at age 20; drink a sixpack at age 40. If you think it's gonna feel the same, then you're still 20. There is so much crap in our food system it's unbelievable. And the way it affects you at a slightly more advanced age is dramatically different than when you were a kid. Gluten and wheat in general are not natural in terms of where we are as human beings. But none of this rant matters: No reason for anyone to take anyone's word. Just stop consuming wheat and gluten for 6 weeks or so; then add it back in and see how you feel. If there's no change, you're right. I'm betting there would be lots of surprised folks around here if you actually tried this little experiment. Ever hear of the placebo effect? But it's more fun to complain about stupid marketing, while eating your bowl of cocoa puffs.    are you nuts? Science, how does it work? You actually believe that bullshit? Do you even know what Gluten is? Want to know how I know that you don't?
Do you have ANY actual scientific evidence to back this crap up? No? So if they had done it the slow way, for no reason, only to get the same result, it would somehow be better? Do you know what the word Luddite means? |

I have it. Very painful when you eat the wrong stuff. Have pretty much given up eating the gluten free food. Taste like crap and very disappointing. If I could only eat one gluten thing it would be English muffins and I would be satisfied. The stuff they substitute for wheat flour health wise isn't really any better for you. Going to a restaurant is like tip toeing thru a mine field.  That's why, foods I used to like now tastes like hospital food, bland, lifeless, tasteless, and just plain nasty. All for a higher price. What gets me though is that there is no reason for it, while there is a very small minority of people who actually need to avoid gluten the vast majority of people that feel they must avoid gluten have absolutely no medical or logical reason to do so, they are sheep mindlessly following a fad, never once applying any independent or critical thought to it. It's not gluten free, it's critical thinking free. And these morons vote. |

I kinda feel the same. One of my kids has a gliadin allergy. Gliadin is also a wheat protein (and some other cereals), so GF is his lifestyle. Couple of years ago it was next to impossible to feed him any real variety of foods, he was frustrated, and angry. Now, there are full aisles of GF foods in every major market, breads and pastas that are actually edible, entire companies manufacturing GF lines, better labeling across the board, etc. Quote HistoryQuoted:

For people like my wife (Celiac), the idiots are welcome. If it wasn't for them driving the market to produce more gluten free products, those with Celiac would have far fewer options.

Park that has hamburger rolls that actually taste like hamburger rolls. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
second post nails it. Also some unexpected products might contain wheat, so I'm pretty happy about the labeling. Since being with someone who will get VERY ill if she eats any gluten, I've been a label hound, but I'd still prefer a big fat "GF" label on products, just to make it easy on me. Soy sauce, for example, most of them contain wheat. Why? Reasons. So I'm happy that Kikkoman labels their shit as gluten free so I don't have to wonder. OP, I gotta say man, why you mad, bro? What's it to you? People wanna cut gluten out of their diet, how's that impact your day to day, exactly? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Because it has caused some companies to change their recipes and the new ones cost more and they taste bad, but my main focus of the rant actually had nothing to do with gluten, at least not directly, but rather the stupidity of the populace, the vast majority of which have no reason to avoid gluten, but have been made to believe that they should because they lack any and all critical thinking, they just believe whatever the TV says, these are the "low information voters," I.E. Idiots. The rant was not on gluten, but on stupidity. Like I said, it's a gluten free thread. |

Why is it I can't walk in to a grocery store without every damn thing being proudly vaunted as "gluten free?" Even things which do not and never have contained any wheat product whatsoever in them are marketed this way. Are there that damned many celiacs a out there? No, there is not, but what there is is a bunch of simple minded dumb fucks being lead around by pop-nutrition that have no fucking idea what gluten even fucking is or why it is supposedly "bad," they just mindlessly follow whatever the TV and their clueless friends tell them, so now all the fucking country must be marketed to like we all have a fucking wheat allergy all so these dumbasses think they are eating "healthy" when they slam down their 16 inch extra everything pizza made with the magical "gluten free" dough. These are the same people who think that undersized, misshapen, bug eaten, and three times the cost of everything else "organic" food is somehow better just because it is grown using 18th century farming technology, these ignorant fucking Luddites don't even know the definition of the word organic, but the TV says it's good for them. I just watched some idiot go through the grocery store checkout line prostolatizing all within earshot about the "evils" of gluten and vaccinations which to her tiny brain cause autism, all evidence to the contrary aside. People completely lack all critical thinking skills anymore, and they vote. OMG there are people different than you. Better make fun of them to make yourself feel better. It is not that they are different it's that they are as dumb as a box of rocks. |

I just started a gluten free diet. But that's only because it's a low carb diet and gluten is too many carbs. Well you started a low gluten diet, which is incidental. You are still probably eating things with barley malt extract and whatnot. Not unless it's in meat, leafy green vegetables and milk products. The glutenfairy sneaks into your house whilst you sleep to take your daughter's virginity and then spreads crushed up gluten all in your milk and vegetable and then shoots your dog on the way out the door.

Dude, might want to get that blood pressure checked.
My autistic son and ADHD daughter have been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. The additional products on the market make things easier. They can eat a larger variety of foods. Yes some of the labeling is overboard. But I don't mind as you may not know what it like to have to read all of the fine print ingredients on nearly everything you buy at the grocery. When my kids cheat and eat something they know they should not it either results in vomiting or diarrhea. If you don't like it too fucking bad! Please find something more worthwhile to get worthwhile next time you forget your meds. |

Bothered is no logical reason for it they just do it anyway because they blindly believe that they have to. They are stupid and gullible, and unfortunately elible to vote. The rant is on stupidity and lack of critical thinking amongst the populace. |
