[Anonymous No.6504501]

Gluten Free is just mildly annoying. Like really if people want to buy expensive specialty items IDGAF. It bothers me that items that don't usually contain gluten are marked as gluten free, like gluten free cheese or gluten free salami or whatever (yeah I know wheat can and is used as a filler in some processed meats, whatever) - but it would only ever become a problem if and when people started just taking normal products that are high in gluten and reducing the gluten in them and it became the status quo. Like low gluten pasta or some shit. Like how so many items are exclusively low fat. Seriously the other day I was at a grocery store and literally every single instant cup soup was low in fat. LIke nigga I don't want to eat sugar carb water with incomplete proteins, I want fat in my cup at 3:30pm to get me through the last stretch of my work day.

Low fat is truly the shittiest trend ever. It makes food taste like garbage, it almost always replaces fat with sugar and it ignores the fact that fat is an essential and super important part of the diet. Enjoy your lack of nutrient retention and hunger. Also

Simple. It's because of the wording. When people see something marked ____ free they assume that whatever ____ was is a bad thing. It's building off of things being marked as "fat free", "sugar free", "cholesterol free". When people see "gluten free" they assume that they need to be avoiding gluten the same way that advertising tells them to avoid fat and sugar, etc.

That doesn't make much sense to me. If you have celiac disease--diagnosed by a doctor--then the doctor will surely have explained to you what you can and cannot eat. It's actually really simple: people with coeliac can eat most foods, there are very few things to avoid. It's silly to think that the labeling is catering to those people because they already know what they can and cannot eat.

The gluten free thing is marketing pure and simple. It's taking advantage of people who think they have various diseases but really don't. It's taking advantage of people who misunderstand the whole gluten thing and think that gluten makes them fat or some silly shit like that. I know the latter sounds silly, but there really are people like that. I remember watching a news segment where they interviewed a bunch fo random people on the street and asked them about gluten. Not one of them knew what it actually was. But plenty of people thought it made you fat, or that it caused autism, or that it was a "chemical made in China", etc, etc.

Exactly.

People who actually have celiac disease usually can't even eat gluten free food if it was made in a kitchen that has other gluten products. People who actually have celiac disease are very sensitive to cross contamination and will react to things like makeup or even breathing air in a room that has recently had some flour poured from the bag into a cup.

If someone can walk in to the bakery and hang long enough to ask what is gluten free, they don't have celiac disease.

So many assholes have latched onto the danger of this gluten thing that is completely harmless to 99.99% of the world that places simply tell their customers that something is gluten-free even if it isn't because, who gives a fuck if some Whole Foods-shopping asshole gets a little gluten in their organic millet and farro couscous?

Why does it matter that they're assholes?

As someone who actually does have multiple severe allergies, to a point where I don't even attempt to eat out, I'm pretty well unbothered by it. In fact, it's useful. All the attention and catering they get just makes less ambiguous packaged food for me, and more varieties of food that deliberately don't use common allergens.

Also, a good deal of disease and bodily maladies can be traced back to chronic inflammation and low level food allergies. Dispelling the myth that you can inherently eat anything you want simply because you exist, and to no ill effect, is also very useful. Physicians actually do food allergy tests now, and in the last 5 years even, packaged food is drastically changed in ways I would have absolutely never expected. Things were fairly bleak when I had to start on all this.

Yeah, they're pretending and just riding the trend, so what. Their effect on the greater whole is net positive. This is uncommon for trend riders, so I take it as being fine enough.

I have one friend who has legit Celiacs disease and she says the gluten free fad has fucked her over more than helped.
Say a place advertises that they can make a gluten free pizza. They make regular pizza too, don't they? It's not like they're making the supposed gluten free pizza in some different place in a different oven using different equpiment. So it's contaminated with gluten all over the place and it fucks her up to eat them.
Same reason she can't have any fried food anywhere (batter and breadcrumbs contaminate the oil with gluten), eat from any place that uses a flat-top grill (so just about every diner and fast food restaurant ever) because they toast buns and rolls on it or generally eat out at all. Now, with everything going GF, she's not sure what is actually suitable for people with celiacs disease and what is just pandering to trendy faggots.

This is the way it's always been, though. I can't recall any point when there wasn't a degree of faith and uncertainty involved in eating out.

Prior to this craze, practically no restaurants were even aware, much less cared. If you happened to find one that explicitly said they had gluten free options (or even more rarely built their entire business around it), you still can't really know. And often times unless the proprietors and or employees themselves are knowledgeable and have direct experience, it tends to fall short.

I wouldn't say it has resulted in a net negative. It has opened the door, and once this nonsense gets filtered and reduced down, it'll likely bring good things.

My allergies don't result in anaphylaxis, but do make it hard to breathe and either garble my mind, or severely drop my blood pressure. (As in my heart spikes to a resting 160+ bpm in response).

I've asked waiters and restaurants if X Y Z has Y. They claim they go check, come back, tell me it's alright. I eat it, things go bad. I call the fucker over and tell him to go get an ingredients list or the package. He comes back, I look, first ingredient "soybean oil". Yeah, they checked for soy alright.

In my case (this was probably 6 or so years ago), I was willfully naive a few times, because I know it just makes a few things shitty for a few days. For someone who knows they could die, hopefully they wouldn't be making the same mistake. But it does happen, and you're right, it is going to get someone killed eventually before waiters and restaurants smarten up. It's the way it's always been, with anything, and the attitudes towards "those asshole pretenders" in this thread are evidence of why we have to go through it.

Pretty much. As far as risk assessment goes, the more layers of unknowns you have, the less trustable it becomes. Sounds like she knows you know, and that it's likely not a problem to assume it'll be fine, for whatever reasons.

It is difficult. I stopped eating things I didn't prepare myself, even with immediate family, because I couldn't personally reconcile any distrust or uncertainty. It doesn't feel worth it. Eventually they stopped asking, and our family gatherings kind of fizzled out anyway, so the issue solves itself.

They can't assume every person who orders a GF item has celiacs, or even is deliberately trying to avoid gluten. Maybe they just wanted to try something new. So too, they can't assume everyone who orders something nut free, or vegetarian, or whatever else is allergic to those items. It's on the customer to speak up and informer their server of their needs directly. If the kitchen staff feel they cannot safely and adequately accommodate your request, it is on them to then politely refuse to serve you. And if they feel as though they can accommodate it, it is on them to do so. But it's your job as their customer to inform them of what you need.

It's possible, but you can't take that chance considering the repercussions for any error.

>It's on the customer to speak up and informer their server of their needs directly.
I agree they should do this, but having items like this available and labeled and such draws an implicit implication. It's not really gluten free, it's on the restaurant to not lie about it.

>it is on them to then politely refuse to serve you.
Unfortunately, this just doesn't happen. Even in large chains that ought to have an interest in not sending their customers to the hospital.

>But it's your job as their customer to inform them of what you need.
We're not really disagreeing here, but the point is, it goes both ways. There are a lot of places in the chain where things get lost or distorted, and then shit happens. This needs to be refined, or people with allergies need to not be trusting (ever).

For example, a woman I know has forced her family into eating GF dinners with her every night because if she eats gluten she claims she gets devastatingly sick and will be out of working order for an entire day. She rants and raves about how great she always feels now that gluten is gone from her diet and makes a huge scene when going out or when faced with gluten in front of others. Meanwhile, baked goods and donuts mysteriously disappear from her house during the morning hours when only she is awake and fast food bags and burger wrappers appear a few times a week.Its attention whoring at its finest, and while its great celiacs have more choice, it should not have come with a crazed horde of retards that disrupt every food related social function.

When someone comes to the pizza place and says they have celiac or don't like gluten. Sometimes they do have the allergy, but other times they don't and you can tell when they take the free cookie offered to every first visitor. Because of them we have to wash everything down and fill new containers with toppings in case someone touched dough and then the topping box. They also have shorter cook times than the rest of the pizzas, so you have to take extra care preparing them. We even use a different paddle. Not to mention the dough sticks to the cooking pans like glue which makes it a nightmare to remove and clean.

I have no problem at all going through all the extra effort for someone who honestly can't have gluten, but it just pisses me off so much when it's just some bimbo who got the shits from bad pasta so claimed gluten intolerance.

So every time someone asks about it, I find each item, find the ingredients, and run through the ingredients of each ingredient (like if cheese or a sauce is involved.) And gluten will be in shit you would never think about.

I have to say, as someone with a genuine allergy (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, all members of the nightshade family except potatoes), this shit pisses me off

[Anonymous No.6527982]

As someone with allergies to soybean, peanut, corn, whey, blueberry, cranberry, chicken, coffee, tuna, sesame, gliadin and gluten, as well as various types of mushroom, along with sensitives to tomatoes and eggplant, and various other things that trigger the release of histamine from mast cells or inhibit DAO, I'd have to say... I'm fairly apathetic about it.

Maybe back a few years ago I would've been disgusted. Annoyed. Then eventually strangely disillusioned and a bit dead. Some part of the back of my psyche nagging at me "they don't know what it's like and will only arbitrarily stomach discomfort when they perceive a social or personal gain, they have a choice and are just blindly riding the trends while out the other side of their mouth taking every chance to shoehorn in some talk about how much they pity me." But these days I don't really feel much of anything. People are foolish, it fades, and just becomes what it is. At least in the ideal case.

Their stupidity has gotten me much more clearly labeled food and far more options. I don't eat processed at all, but it's neat to grab a bag of chocolate chips and have it in great detail tell you explicitly how it's manufactured and from what.

>muh anecdotal evidence

Ok.

Here's my anecdotal evidence that refutes yours.

I used to part time at a Red Brick Pizza years ago and it was hell on earth when someone ordered a Gluten Free pizza since it required us to wear new gloves, use a special paddle which was annoying as fuck because it was smaller and harder to handle, and use a special baking brick to put the pizza on that made it 3x harder to get the paddle under the pizza when you wanted to get it out.

After some faggot complained that we let his Gluten free pizza get too close to another normal pizza that was in the oven and demand we remake it, the boss made us keep a certain distance between the pizzas, so that's less pizzas we could bake in the oven at one time.

And since we were located in a particularly affluent business area, there were tons of women in suits who ordered them even though I'd see them walking around with pretzels and sandwiches and shit on other days.

Have you heard about the new cool thing that came out?
Bone broth?
Apparently, it's a cure-all medical and culinary wonder.

And apparently it's just fucking stock.
Not even kidding, I followed the link to a Good Morning America video, and there was this four-minute focus on "bone broth" being this amazing trend.
And as they were explaining it, my sister and I just sat there yelling at the screen, "It's just stock! That is literally stock!"
Even at the very end, one of the ladies was like, "Yeah, that's just stock."

Same here, but I don't like milk itself. Every once in a while I'll have a cheese sandwich or ice cream, and regret it later on when my stomach is making ungodly noises and I feel like I'm going to shit it out.

[Anonymous No.6528266]

>>6528225
No. I wasn't kidding and neither is she.
Before the whole GF fad, she just didn't eat out, ever. Now, with every place having GF this and GF that, she's tried it a few times and it's been an awful experience. So now, she just stays with the not eating out at restaurants thing.

I've taught her a basic cooking philosophy from my part of the world and that is "if you can't have it, don't try to."
I know that sounds defeatist, but think about it: how many times have you had an alternative to X where it was as good or better than X? I can count on the toes of my right foot how many times. And I'm missing one of them (frost bite).
Usually, GF versions of things fucking suck in comparison to the original. Same with vegan, vegetarian, sugar free, fat free etc etc etc.
Just stop trying to make something that's meant to have X without X and you'll be happier. Rather than a shit-ass slice of GF cake, have some parfait. Rather than mushy-as-fuck GF pasta, have a risotto. Rather than crumbly GF pizza, have some tacos (on corn tortillas, of course).
You want cake/pasta/pizza? Well, get ready for a mouthful of disappointment, then.

none of that fucks her over more than if there was no gluten free fad. it just provides her with more options with the corollary of more risk.

[Anonymous No.6528284]

>>6528225

most people are just stupid fucks who think it will make them lose weight though, so unless a restaurant or bakery is strictly gluten free there is going to be cross contamination

it's not about not knowing (well maybe the waitstaff doesn't know because they're fucking incompetent); we know, that's just how it is.

>>6515394
I work at a fine dining restaurant and we still have a flat top and a grill where we cook shit that has gluten in it, so it's definitely not limited to diners and the like. Unless you get something that is only cooked in a saute pan you're going to get cross contamination.
