As I recognized in my post he acknowledged that there are people who suffer from it. The part that upsets me is to say the Gluten Allergies are a fad and are trendy. This may not seem offensive to you but to some it is very real and not a fad or trend. As I also mentioned there are some that see it as healthier living or a means of weight loss but from my limited time that I have become aware of the disease those are fewer than one would think and a majority of people who are living GF have been or in the process of being diagnosed with the allergy and since becoming G Free are seeing improved health and quality of life.
