How did gluten free become so popular that everything is stamped

Bread makes you bloat and can give you lethargy/brainfog, if you have a gluten allergy, which far more people do than they are aware of.

Saged and reported for not politics.

How can you even tell if food has gluten in it? Who looks for that?

you're a loser who cant fuck attractive women so you do whatever you are tole

>>139789591
/pol/ in a nutshell?

>>139789478
Any kind of wheat or wheat derivative.

Nearly all processed foods in America end up having gluten in them because they use wheat or flour as filler.

>>139790236
Idk what processed food means, but I eat bread nearly everyday it's not bad for you. Dumb liberals just don't have common sense and sit at home on the computer and watching super hero movies eating junk food all day

>tfw allergic to gluten
I can barely remember the last time I ate real food.

It's got very little to do with politics, though leftists do like to treat it the same as their 'organic' non-sense.

there's been some studies recently that basically discovered having a gluten allergy is extremely rare and that the vast majority of gluten avoiders aren't gluten sensitive.

essentially it's all in their little faggot heads, for the most part.

>>139790520
I searched the definition of processed food it says

"Processed food is the result of a massive industrial process to transport, transform, can, freeze, dehydrate, irradiate, package and market edible junk."

So basically canned food, frozen food, or packaged food? Does that mean if you buy a chicken from the grocery store instead of the butcher it's processed? When I was a kid the grocery store near me had a butcher counter but now they only sell packaged meats. They don't even have live fish or lobster anymore

Relatively many people (5% I think I read) have a mild allergy to gluten (which doesn't show up in standard allergy tests), so eating a gluten-free diet is actually beneficial for them. I think everyone should try eating no gluten for a week or a month or so, and see if their health improves.
Other than that (and "normal" gluten allergies of course), it's just retarded normies being retarded.

>>139790831
But when they do to a pizza parlor and just assume that they will be catered too, something totally irritating. The new allergy thing is a great way to feel like you have a little control over the world instead of dealing with the chaos.

>>139790824
technically shredded lettuce is a processed food.

it's a blanket term, for sure. but I guess the point is to get people to eat more whole foods, instead of prepackaged stuff, which often contains added salts/fats/whatever. not always, but many times, anyway.

>>139788397
>Bread makes you bloat and can give you lethargy/brainfog,
not true at all. it's fat that makes people 'bloat' (get fat) and have brain fog. I eat tons of starch, got no problems at all. Full of energy. I chomp down on loads of bread with every meal.

>>139791079
Yeah that's what I'm confused about, what if I shred cheese is that processed? There's a process involved in making it shredded and same if you chop up some lettuce for a salad you know?

>>139791263

yeah it's a retarded term.

what about canned beans with no salt added? Is that processed? they're fucking healthy for you so i guess they can't be. but wait, it's in a can! so it's bad!

People should just read the god damned labels that are government mandated to be on every thing in the store.

>>139791263
processed means the nutrition was damaged or removed somewhere between the harvesting of the food and the packaging of the food before it was sold at the store.

An example of nutrition being lost during the process is:

- bleached rice
- cooked and canned veggies
- filtered honey
- bread
- some cereals

Another problem is when they add toxins to the food:

- some preservatives
- GMO
- pesticides
- fertilizers
- fungicides
- food coloring
- allergens like glutens contained in wheat which isn't toxic to everyone mind you

>>139790824
Off the top of my head some of the odd things that contain gluten are mixed seasonings or anything that uses them, canned soups, dressings, some brands of gum, and strangest of all most brands of soy sauce

>>139791937
China use to make soy sauce from human hair:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_safety_incidents_in_China#Soy_sauce_made_from_human_hair

>>139792079
We'll I don't eat canned soup, that's nasty I don't use dressings I make my own that's common sense, I chew gum sometimes for work, and never eat soy sauce I'm not a Chinese why would I?
I guess I'm safe

>>139792079
I'm not a gluten free fag but I unwittingly bought the gluten free soy sauce one time and I really like it.

it still "thickens" up when you cook it into foods, just like the gluten stuff. think it's lower sodium though, so that's nice.

>>139791937
>bleached rice
no, they just take the shell off. they've been doing it in asia for hundreds of years. the shell has fat, and would cause the rice to rot

organophosphates

Rich, stay at home soccer moms that believe modern medicine gave their kids autism and thus only buy "natural" "non-GMO," "organic," "gluten-free" stuff at whole foods that costs 2x+ as much at best compared to normal groceries.

The same idiots that fall victim to alternative medicine, "healing crystals," and other health fad snake-oil schemes. The same people that trust in chiropractors passing themselves off as real MDs and giving out bad medical advice such as supplements that are "cure-alls" despite not being tested or studied scientifically.

This whole natural / non-GMO / gluten free fad is a multi-billion dollar business, with a shit load of dummies who read that gluten is bad and believe they have celiac (despite celiac being a very rare genetic condition) buying these products, mostly as I said above, dumb suburban housewives with nothing better to do but read stupid shit on their facebook echo chambers.

along with pesticides and flame retardants and god knows what else, organophosphates are used as herbicides to dry out white wheat so it can be harvested as fast as the automated combines can drive themselves, while the "Farmhand" sits in the airconditioned cab wanking to internet porn.
This leads to more allergies, immune problems, autism, and god knows what else.

No.
But if you buy pre-shredded cheese you are also getting stabilizers and preservatives added in to maintain freshness and retard the development of mold.

this is how you get room temperature containers of parmesan cheese. It's not all cheese in there.

Processed Food contains additives to keep the food shelf stable for extended periods, added colors for eye-appeal, added flavors for taste appeal, and often added fillers to reduce cost.

I work for one of the world's largest food processors, btw.

I fully believe that to be a result of Food Science from the '70's. and the glut of artificial colors, flavors, dubious preservatives and super-refined sugars, starches and oils.

Basically we cooked up some diabolical shit to make stuff "edible" after a year on the shelf, fed it to some rats. When they didn't immediately explode, we rubber-stamped it and started an entire generation of kids on an experimental diet program.

Then you have shit like Aspartame, which got rejected by the FDA for human consumption, but well-connected Donald Rumsfeld was head of the company, so Reagan pulled some strings.

Tell me about it. I have celiac disease. Not sure why anyone would be gluten free unless they had to for medical reasons. Gluten free food is basically the shitty version of regular food.

People are slightly nervous about feeding their kids plant material that has been Frankenstein'd to the point where it can shrug off Roundup (a deadly defoilant).

This is the main reason for genetically modified crops, btw. It's not about Muh Yields, because it's shown that GMO's haven't increased yields at all, and the big AG nations produce so much that it drives prices down to ruinous levels anyway.

It was always about making crops resistant to deadly poisons, so farmers could spray the shit out the fields with them, and poison the fuck out of everything "not crop" (including the watershed).

>>139793663

I'd say it even goes further back than that. We started using chemical pesticides and herbicides, we started using antibiotics and hormones in our livestock, we started using trans fats etc even back in the 50's., but yeah the 70's is where it really really took off and so did our obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome rates.

We have fucked up FOOD, and as a result we've made ourselves sick.

Never been officially diagnosed, but I suffered with severe stomach cramping, heartburn, diarreah and lethargy for years, I just lived with it not knowing any better. Then when I gave up bread it all went away and my mind became clearer. I sometimes wonder how things would be different had I known sooner, maybe I'd gotten even better grades in school or been an athlete. Oh well.

There are a lot of things that occur at trace levels in food that you don't really want to ingest at concentration levels. There are essential vitamins that can be harmful in large doses.

Commercial MSG is extracted from a cooked seaweed broth and then concentrated, and it's not good for your ticker. But I'm in no way trying to deprive you of your MSG, or restrict you from ingesting it.

I eat gluten free cause it makes me feel better and i have more energy. I enjoy the GF options.

It's also a problem with the manipulated grain we eat. The types they use have extreme amounts of gluten.
Another possibility is that pesticides attach themselves to the gluten, or there is simply a reaction to the pesticides that is mirrored in the gluten.
Or perhaps most likely, the damage to our stomachs and intestines (leaky gut) caused by GMOs is being irritated by gluten. I think there are some studies on this.

>>139791937
"Add toxins to the food"
Can't let that one slide. Unless you've cared for and raised food yourself, your chances of toxic overload is much higher in "organic" food than non organic- aflo and mycotoxins.

It is odd no one wants to investigate why Americans are so fat.

Humans do NOT need copious amounts of exercise to stay thin, the fact is enriched flour is the culprit of all health problems in American because it is in EVERYTHING from your hamburger helper to your salad dressings, cereals, bbq rubs, sauces, you name it.

The moment Monsanto started using genetically engineered wheat for most wheat sold in the USA.

GMO Wheat has TRIPLE gluten content than the traditional seed we have used for thousands of years. This is obviously a problem for the digestive system, thus gluten free was born.

Fuck all the fucking niggers who decided to fuck with wheat - it was a perfect food that our ancestors spent tens of thousands of years or more perfecting from a tiny little nigger grain into the best food source for humans ever created.

And then in the span of just a few decades boomerniggers completely RUINED IT by processing it poorly, mutating it, adding a bunch of chemicals to it, cooking it improperly, jesus fucking christ.
This shit pisses me off - what they did to wheat. Our staple food source has been fucked with, I can't even begin to make you guys realize how big of a deal this is, it's one of the main reasons western civilization is so fucked up right now. Staff of life has been turned into the staff of death.

People who talk about needing to be gluten free are basically the canary in the coal mines, making society realize that wheat has been throughout buttfucked no lube style.
If we ever get into positions of power, we have to work to fix wheat. Do those old seeds still exist somewhere? Japniggers would slit your throat and buttfuck you with your own coagulated blood if you ever fucked with their rice the way our wheat has been fucked with.

Of course most people aren't actually sensitive.

Even South Park made fun of them. It's also a real bitchfit for real celiacs because there are now so many places advertizing "gluten free" that take NO precautions whatsoever for cross-contamination or proper handling. You have to check every single time you go out now and ask explicitly "are you actually celiac safe or are you just catering to faggots?"

Idiots who fail to understand science and get their information from facebook memes. Last time I was in a Whole Foods like 3 years ago they had meats marked as gluten free. Shit is beyond silly.

If you have the allergy you have to avoid it. Otherwise it doesn't matter.

At the bowling alley I got some food at the bar and they also sell cookies there and asked a kid if he wanted a cookie. He said no because he was "gluten free". I have no idea if he had the allergy or his parents were forcing him. He was 8 or 9 years old, I think his parents made him that way because if he had the allergy he probably would have said "no, I have a gluten allergy so I can't have gluten". I live in Portland Oregon which is a super liberal city so I guess that makes sense

When I was a kid we would take a few wheat kernels off the plant and chew on em. After a minute it turns into a flavorless approximation of gum.

Do you mean you chew gum at work or you chew for work?
