"No snarkyness intended here, I'm just curious why gluten in the diet receives so much attention when other food related conditions do not. Are there other reason besides actual physical intolerance that make this type of diet attractive?"
Now, to me it seemed he was asking something out of pure curiosity, and wondering if maybe a gluten-free diet was something for him. (not that Gary needs any defending from me)
for me, I wonder if there are *more* food allergies nowadays, or if we're just getting more educated about them because of the increased flow of information.

I'm sure this I'd something g cannot understand. Gluten is both a major ingredient in American diets and a deadly poison for some people. If those people want to eat something beyond nuts and berries, they need to learn how to work within their limits. Places like the Co-op which offer classes and accurate labels are doing a public service out of a concern for others. This is called COMPASSION.
Perhaps of g would pick a food allergy sich as gluten and religiously read and translate tinsy tiny lists of ingredients, he might appreciate why a bit of help for a small minority is a good thing. As a bonus, the Co-op does't need gov'mt entitlements, taxes, or other nasty things.

A quick google search on "gluten" reveals that .5 to 1.% of people have problems that require them to avoid this protein. Considering the small percent of the pop. that needs to adhere to a diet such as this, why do co-ops and other alternative oriented groups seem to devote so much attention to this type of diet? No snarkyness intended here, I'm just curious why gluten in the diet receives so much attention when other food related conditions do not. Are there other reason besides actual physical intolerance that make this type of diet attractive?
