The whole gluten free thing is a farce like global warming.

No. There are some people, like me, who have a gluten sensitivity which I developed in my 30s. I would love to be able to eat regular bread, cakes, pies, cookies, etc., but I can't unless I want to suffer the consequences, which take four to five days to work their way through my system. It's not in my head, and it took years of suffering before finally figuring out what the cause was. Once I eliminated gluten from my diet, no more problems. Unfortunately, there is hidden gluten in a lot of products you wouldn't expect - red vines, some yogurts, slim jims just to name a few - and if I don't read labels, I'll know within about 20 minutes if I've been "glutenized".

I agree. I have had a problem with wheat for about 10 years. After eating wheat products my whole life, here in my later years, I have had to give it up.
