    And to me, a non-celiac, I welcome having every thing in a food on the label. I want to know what i am eating.

    There is some discussion that cross breeding attempts to raise the protein in wheat has made folks who MAY be sensitive to gluten become sensitive to gluten. I have no idea.

    While labeling of meat as 'gluten free' is kind of idiotic, there is something that folks, like my wife, has to be concerned with: non ingredient contamination. Suppose you purchase hard candies that list as ingredients "Sugar, concentrated fruit juice." Unfortunately, there is some wheat starch used to make the candies not stick before they get wrapped. If 'gluten free' is not labeled, you will get contamination from the packaging. Also, knowing if the environment in which a food is processed is gluten free does make a difference; wheat flour in the air, if a line of GF stuff is being processed in facility that uses gluten matters, too. FWIW my wife has celiac disease and has had it for decades so she's not on the 'gluten free bandwagon.' While the bandwagon can be irritating, it also means that there is some attempt to identify what facilities are genuinely gluten free and what items merely do not have gluten containing ingredients. Having said that, labeling (say) a beef steak 'gluten free' seems idiotic.

    Actually it says that the folks who were NOT at the inauguration had jobs and lives and weren't paid professional protesters. Do note that the women's march happened at a weekend. And, oh yes, it was filled with upper middle class white women!

    I feel the same way about antihistamines - well , they don't give me migraine, but I do feel like they mess with my brain. I'd rather a) avoid the foods I cannot eat due to allergy and b) during the time of year I have allergic reactions, live with it.

    That wasn't at all what he said. It's the actions of Iran supporting and exporting terrorism that caused the US government to do this per statement.
