re: Some shelters say they have a shortage of gluten free foods

funny you say that, I was just reading this the other day

Yes of course but I guarantee you there are mother frickers that claim they need to be gluten free and they don't, and they are taking the food away from people with celiac disease, an actual disease diagnosed by real GI doctors.

Just offer everyone a beer and some tacos and see who eats/drinks. That'll flush them out

OMG! I hope they don't run out of Grey Poupon!

My kid has celiac. Gluten prevents his body from absorbing any nutrients and he can't grow. Glad you frickers think it's funny and made up.

That said, be grateful for what you can get but those who think it's made up or take away food from those with a condition can go to hell.

I get the typical gluten free jokes, but there are actual people with celiac disease. My boss's daughter has an autoimmune disorder and has had anaphylaxis in response to wheat based foods.

While I still feel that most gluten free people are morons, I've become more sensitive to people with ACTUAL food allergies after we learned about my son's peanut and egg allergy the hard way.

No one here is begrudging people with an actual condition.



But the vast majority of those that demand gluten-free to cater to their needs are just selfish.

It really sucks for people who have it that people who are on a fad diet are taking the only food they can eat without dying.

They are complete pieces of shite. Some people just can't stop thinking of themselves, to think of other people, that could be in even more dire situations.

I have a buddy that has gradually developed more and more "food allergies". He ate whatever the frick he wanted until he was like 28 with no problems, and now eats pretty much only rabbit food

Farewell, America, we hardly knew ya.
