<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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. <br><br>Kit Craine

Considering the small percent of the pop. that needs to adhere to a diet

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
