For half of my kids and I, this is too close to home. We’re celiacs. Autoimmune disorder which essentially means that foods made from, or with, wheat, barley and rye make us violently ill, among other effects. So salty snacks in our house are things like diamond’s gluten-free nuts, and, on a sort-of related note, blue diamond’s nut thins (awesome crackers made from rice and pecans, walnuts, et cetera).
The FDA needs to be put out to pasture. I don’t have the luxury of randomly grabbing things off the shelf, so I really follow certain manufacturers, and buy their products frequently. I’d hate to lose a good snack here because some gung-holier-than-thou bureaucrats decided they didn’t like someone’s tone. I realize I’m talking about a snack, here. It’s the combination of something we buy that is safe, with a weasely government agency that bugs me. (sorry folks)
Celiac here too! Sure are a lot of new products for us lately. I’m glad Gluten Free has become a fad diet for some non celiacs.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I like it!!! Perfect description.
