[Trust me.No one cares.]
Friday, 18 September 2020 19:23Saw a woman wearing a shirt that said “Gluten Free” in huge letters.Really?That’s what you want the world to see you as?
My feelings about the whole gluten free thing are well known.All well and good if you really do rely on a gluten free diet to stay healthy.But there are other people who *aren’t* doing it as a health thing-more like a fad than anything else. See also:Atkins.Paleo.Keto. Need I go on?
There’s one particular YouTuber that I watch who is Paleo/Keto/Gluten free. I have to say that there are a lot of substitutes that she uses.The problem with those is that they can make whatever you’re cooking taste different and isn’t the point to try and get them to taste like the real thing?This was the problem that vegetarian food had for a LOT of years.I would rather eat vegetarian food than anything because there is vegetarian food that tastes so much like the real thing it would fool confirmed carnivores.And there are quite a few meat eaters who have come around to the idea of trying vegetarian food.
