    Persuade people that GF is "healthy" and required.

    Sell GF products for twice the normal price.

    Profit

    Some have medical reasons, some like to feel fancy, some need a new religion, and others just want to. It won't kill ya not to eat it, so I'd say that they're all pretty valid reasons as far as personal choice is concerned.

    glad the popularity is growing for the people who are sensative, but I have noticed a large increase in people jumping on the bandwagon for no reason at all, oh well, guess thats their choice

    That was my whole point, lots of people just following gluten free like sheep, getting sucked in marketing and consumer fads not waiting to think , " hey how does this affect me ? "

    I'm not here to say what to eat or not eat etc...just wanted to put it out to the people who have no gluten sensitivity/celiac that there's no need to buy gluten free products cause it's not going to affect you. Period !

    I'll say it again… There are other medical problems other than Celiac and gluten intolerance that are exacerbated by gluten.

    I just like saying "gluten".

    I pronounce it with an exaggerated pseudo-Swedish accent. Like there's an umlaut over the "u".

    You do realize glutens not bad for you unless you have celiac disease.

    It's not just people with cd who should avoid it. I have ibs. I have found it is a trigger so it's bad for me.

    My baby breaks out in blisters that open and won't heal until gluten is out of his system (2-4 weeks) . he doesn't have celiac disease. I have IBS gluten cases severe cramps for me so we just avoid it...

    I miss cookies and doughnuts
