"I'm glad there are more gluten free options in the store now, it's nice to have pasta I can eat that doesn't taste like packing material"

900 PEOPLE KICKING THE DOOR IN, RAPPELLING DOWN FROM THE CEILING: gluten free is a fad! gluten can't hurt you! gluten make food taste good!

"not that it's any of your business, but I have celiac disease and if I eat gluten my body will punish me for like two weeks. so"

900 PEOPLE: okay but some people treat it as a fad thing, most people can digest gluten just fine and they just buy GF products because of the health craze!

"yes and I'm GRATEFUL for the FAD because it's what gives me PASTA THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE SHIT OR RUIN MY LIFE. what part of this is not computing for you"

900 PEOPLE: 🦗

everyone in my family but me has celiac disease and we were all just cackling when the fad started. gluten free is a fad! which fucks if you are/love someone who can't eat gluten!

like around the mid 10's we started to be able to go out to eat together to more than like the same two restaurants. it ruled.

the faddish culture is totally and completely an artifact of modern-day marketing techniques, because this is what's encouraged with any product of corporate industry that's perceived as out of the ordinary, no matter the reason for its existence: it's hyped up and sold as the Next Big Thing™, maybe something that will revolutionize your life, and there's an entire corporate news apparatus out there that's devoted to amplification of corporate advertising and marketing of new product lines. so of course everything food-related turns into a fad; it helps drive up the price. ~Chara
