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 ?

Ah-ooo-gah!! Poseur alert !!

Probably not even worth a 1/12 of a dime... 
 
 

What's that chart Craig, something to do with darts?

My wife and I gave up gluten about two years ago - made a huge difference for us both and we're never going back. 
 
Scoff if you want, but try it for a month and get back to me. ;)
 
PS: "gluten free" foods are the fad. Most are still made of stuff that spikes your glucose  and in general are bad for you. 
 
PPS: I thought this video was hysterical! :)

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!

Actually, we eat a lot better here than we did back home - I guess I should thank all those Yoga loving/gluten intolerant people - they make it possible for all of us to have access to a wide variety of products. Between farmers' market, Sprouts, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, we have access to anything we need.
 
More expensive, but the options are there. We don't eat much in terms of prepared food either.
 
Of course, unless you decide to become a farmer, raise your own crops, bake your own bread, etc, you always have to take someone else's word that what you are eating is clean.
 
But I have no doubt that it's a lot healthier than what I was raised on.

It's does have something to do with darts.  It's a cheap chalk board for keeping score. 
 
(Didn't you know I used to tour once?   World Champions used to stay at my house back when I had a full English bar set up downstairs and they were in town...)

I believe that there is no formula - it's up to people to try and see what works for you. For some, being a vegan is actually the healthiest solution. For others, it's a bad idea.
 
And, I'm not saying it's the case for you and your wife, but some people omit to say that their new diet is actually part of an entire system of healthy habits. They quit smoking and exercise and sleep 8 hours a night, drink less coffee, etc...
 
And then they tell you that they lost 75lbs when they adopted a plant based diet or stopped eating corn products.
 
Honestly, I've been told about the benefits of removing just about everything from my diet. Suffice for an aliment to become common enough for someone to link it to health problems - whether it's Quinoa or Chia seeds or whatever the latest fad.
 
Heck, I even read a headline about anti-oxydents being a cause of cancer a few weeks ago.

I thought it was good humor...unfortunately good humor is often at the expense of either someone or something. How would I react if someone made jokes about middle aged chubby guys with moobs? Or if a comedian made something funny about Canadian Americans.....I don't think you mean't any harm Rain. Admittedly I didn't listen to the entire movie, but it looks like some guy having a good time with the subject of gluten. 
If we can't laugh at ourselves then I think the world is just too serious. 
The subject or peanut allergies, rubber allergies and gluten are great fodder for humor IMHO. Remember when the world was so much simpler? 
I think the perception for some is that sometimes...notice I said "sometimes" these things can get out of hand. This is America and for now we can have that opinion if we want to.
I happen to think yoga and dog socializing clubs are kind of weird but it wouldn't keep me from friending someone who likes it. They probably think I'm strange because I like eggs and corned beef hash for breakfast.

It doesn't matter, people in that condition can't run fast enough to catch the joke makers anyway. 

Don't dish it out if you can't take it. If you can- anything goes :)
