    I don't know why anyone would do it just to do it. In my case I have an intolerance.

    In my son's case....Allergy. Spent a week in the hospital at 6 months old, over 1 tablespoon of cereal with wheat. Have made repeat trips to the ER from accidentally ingesting wheat or gluten containing foods. Not fun!

    And in my son's case VERY dangerous!

    In my personal opinion it is a fad HOWEVER there are people who have a very legitimate reason (EDIT: Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivty) to go gluten free and for these people it is in their best interest to do so. In that regard, I'd say it's a fad but I'd put a little asterisk by it.
    This.
    And there are plenty of gluten free snacks that are not healthy at all. It's only good for people with sensitivities.

    if it is a fad, does that make it bad? Maybe some fads are actually a good thing?
