Gluten-free is a scam to sell more corn and corn accessories

It both is and isn't.

For people with Celiac's it's 100% legit ... but the companies that make the gluten-free products want to be able to sell to more than just Celiac's patients, so they pretend like gluten-free is healthier for everyone ... which is a scam.

Do you suppose celiacs were buying wheat products before it became a trade-term?

I remember when I first saw the words gluten at whole foods and was like, oh is this the new carb?

It was!

These are the same people you give a bowl of ice cubes to when they want dessert.

The corn lobby has arrived to silence my speech.

Enhanced interrogation techniques, but with corn syrup.

Yes.

My sister has Celiac's, and she had several symptoms from it but had no idea what the cause was. When she finally discovered she had Celiac's (and could avoid those symptoms by avoiding gluten) it was a great relief for her.
