    My favorite quote from the article:

    "Wheat is an attractive and important source of micronutrients for those folks who won’t eat green vegetables, red meat, nuts, bivalves, and liver."

    Great article. I love Marksdailyapple. The assumption seems to be that people going gluten free are just replacing normal pasta with gluten-free pasta. I suppose some are. My "pasta" is now made from zucchini, and it's yummy.

    That one was great. The other one I really liked:

    "It’s important to distinguish between “preference” and “fear.” I prefer not to eat grains. I don’t fear them. I prefer not to eat a high-carb diet. I don’t fear carbs or think them evil. I prefer to avoid gluten – and feel better when I maintain that. But I don’t fear gluten."
