Potato chips. Isn't that implied gluten free? Might not have bought them just on principle.

They are quite tasty too. Nothing like munching on freshly fried sasquatch.

Lol, that shit cracks me up.
I've seen meat with that label.
I guess it helps snag those who are just being trendy ... "I tried the new GF ground beef for my hamburgers, it's really good! You can't even tell the difference!"

My mom has celiac which means she's very allergic to gluten. If she gets a crumb in her food she'll throw up for three days. That GF label means there's not even any chance of cross contamination. Even in a meat plant they could be making meatballs or whatever with bread crumbs in them and accidentally contaminate the meat. It's important that she knows and that GF label means she doesn't have to worry or read the label more closely. I'm tired of people thinking it's only a "trend".

My wife is the same way. No trend here, it really is pain when you travel.

I have relatives with it, so I got tested--negative.

Understand, when people make fun of the trend NOBODY IS MAKING FUN OF CELIAC disease.

Also, corporations, big and small, like to mislabel for trends and not to help people out. There are a few websites which track, or have tracked, mislabeled "GF" products. Also, the FDA is on the lookout for them too. Just stuff I'm aware of because it's in my family too.

My wife goes through the same ordeal. It's convenient if it's labeled .

lol As long as it doesn’t say Vegan friendly, I’m good with it lol. My Daughter is highly gluten sensitive (not celiac but irritable bowel) and I get it) My wife has several allergies that can ruin her for days so cross contamination at restaurants etc. can really throw her for a loop, because there’s no way of knowing exactly what cause her reaction.

1% of the population are clinically diagnosed to have celiac disease. You'd think based on labels it's more like 50%.

 

[Mdozier]

Not to diminish anything above but I think the trend here that’s funny is Sasquatch. This guy seems to be everywhere these days. I’d have bought them on that alone!
Hell, I got caught up in a thread a couple weeks ago and ended up ordering some soap ‘cause it was “Dr. Squatch” and there was some type sweepstakes.

I think it’s funny that the guy is never seen (maybe) but seems so popular these days. There’s even a movie coming out!

 

[Moto26]

1% of the population is a LOT.

Can you blame them? They are in the same country that has these types of warnings:

The absolutely weirdest gluten free label I've ever seen was on eye drops.


I'd have bought the chips, too. I bought the Dr Squatch Bronco soap - not to use, just to have it.

Just to have it? It ain’t a baseball card, man!

Damn wasteful Americans!


…..but, hey, ummm, can you share that link?
