Hey K. I'm a cook too and this is actually a mind bending topic for me for the past 12 years or so. This gluten free shit started out really small from health food stores and co-ops and only continued to get bigger. The GF lobbyist made everyone think they're allergic to sell their stale ass tasting products.
I work in a place now that boast local foods but also try and cater to these GF peeps which GF food is almost impossible to be local. Mostly all GF foods have exotic ingredients from around the world. Another rich person disease.
I also work with people who are "GF" but have never been tested for it. As a cook it really burns my motherfucking coals to hear people say that even if they aren't allergic to wheat, eating GF is much healthier. FUCK YOU. Know some food science and history before opening yer GF shit traps. I often think people get being full confused with having a gluten allergy. "I ate a whole pizza and feel like shit. Must have been the gluten". No, your fat ass just ate a bunch of food and is feeling the sensation of fullness. For the most part i feel it's just an eating disorder. The frenzy of control in the eyes of these people over their diets is terrifying.
K., if we were cooks in the 80's we would have to deal with the great peanut allergy scare that our elders talk about on their death beds.
Celiac sucks and the only safe place for these people to eat is at home or fast food chains not your mom and pop cafe that has flour in the air, all over the cutting boards, knives, pans, etc... Snake oil horseshit. It really casts a dark shadow over the cooks in the industry who want honest food. Our bosses put us in awkward moral positions involving other people's health to make a buck.
