So? That's been happening since the dawn of humans and will be forever, but gluten free isn't really harming anybody as far as I know.
So now you have more food options to ignore. Not much of an issue to me. Some people are changing their diets and feel better about it. Maybe it's placebo/nocebo taking affect. Who cares? It's not changing how anybody else eats, so why should it matter?
Sure, there are gluten free folk that get all preachy about it, just like any other thing. If it's not gluten free, it's something else. The next time somebody talks about how they only eat natural gluten free salads, are you going to chime in about how they're an idiot or are you going to carry on with your life?
There are far bigger, more irritating, and dangerous decisions being made than this. It feels like the people here that are ready to pop out and say "I told you so!" are just as smug as those that they are pointing their fingers at. Mind you, I'm being just as smug right now so it's not like I'm the bastion of opinions.
