Most people want to belong to a movement.  The reasoning escapes me.  Worse, it seems a lot of folks choose movements that rhyme with 'vowel' to cling to.
 
I don't blame the food I eat for my condition(s).  The blame rests squarely on my hands and eating utensils!!

Yes, we have a Fred for that right HERE. 
 
 
 

As a celiac myself, and someone who will go into a condition similar to Anaphylactic shock if I ingest above a certain amount of gluten, I find this completely insulting, and absolutely abhorrent to be making fun of a condition which is very real, and in extreme cases can even be fatal. Those of us who are unlucky enough to have this condition, have it through no fault of our own, and yet we are ridiculed like this because of that ?
 
Perhaps I should start on about all the people who use pictures of themselves pretending that they are some kind of rock star, when in fact all they are are dime a dozen wannabe's ?

WTH? He's making fun of people who pretend to be gluten intolerant. It is made abundantly clear and even stated at the very beginning of the video. 
 
No one ridiculed you or the condition you suffer from. Actually I sincerely doubt that you or anyone who is genuinely affected would behave anything like the guy in that video. And I sincerely doubt that anyone who watches this video will start making fun of the unfortunate people who suffer.
 
If you assume that this guy and the people who watch the video make fun of your condition, I'm sorry for you.
 
As for your rock star comment, I fail to see how it has anything to do with anything or anyone involved into discussion.
 
If it's a shot at me, well thanks - I love that picture, but it owes everything to the brilliant photographer who took the picture, a great artist. Her work has that "rock star" quality. 
 
Otherwise, I've been around here for over a decade - people know me and know enough about me to know that I'm no rock star and I never pretended to be. But I do play music.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh, and by the way, I am not a Celiac, and the reference to 'rock star' and 'dime a dozen wannabe's' is just for realism and impact, no offense meant. My niece IS however a Celiac, and the condition is VERY REAL, she had to put up with all the BS about it for a long time, she will become very ill to the point of not being able to function and even hospitalized for short periods. 
 
As to gluten free foods etc, they were pretty bad at the begining, nut she and her mother, as have others, have progressed to the point of being able to cook all kinds of foods and sweets etc to where no one could tell that they were infact eating gluten free stuff, just as I, and others, after many years of being vegetarian are able to prepare food that people don't pick as being vegetarian.

Yes I know, I have been around since the Pro Audio 9 day's myself.

We're making fun of the people that use your genuine condition as the latest diet trend.  Even the dude in the vid expresses genuine empathy for those rare individuals such as yourself.
 
It's the hipsters you should be angry with.  We're calling them out.

Hi,
 
Honestly Rain ... you are in the wrong country!
 
For the first 16 years of my life, I was in Portugal and Brazil ... and we only ate fresh food. never saw a can of food until we got to America. Guess where the chemicals come in ... to preserve the food longer!
 
Just like the incredible number of anti-biotics used in meats in America, one never knows how well the body will adjust to that, and also how these will affect your immune system at any given time, specially when the over load of these things can easily interfere with your system ... then we wonder why a mere cold or flu virus won't go away!
 
A lot of the "health" food stores are more of the same ... just different name for the same crap.
 
We just need fresher and cleaner food ... more local stuff and less corporate stuff that comes from goshknows where!

Oh, and by the way, I am not a Celiac

So, you were pretending to be one, in order to be offended on behalf of someone else, because of an obviously ironic video.
