To be fair, barley and rye also contain gluten, and sometimes wheat starch is used to thicken things and it might not be immediately obvious from the menu. So it’s not inherently stupid to ask that an apparently-wheat-free item be gluten free.

I don’t think you actually read what I wrote.

Boneless wings should not require any specialty knowledge.

Except:

Being polite doesn’t automatically make your request okay.

Can someone explain what is up with this trend of purchasing the adaptation rights to books and then making tv shows that have NOTHING to do with the original? What is even the point?

That person is my mother and that’s why I no longer go to the movies with her.

Go with really good joke to preserve your sanity.

It sounds like the spoon was used by a cook but accidentally placed near where the clean spoons were.

I think we do know why these things happen. For one, Safe Haven laws aren’t really publicized the way they should be, and lots of people don’t know it is an option. But more broadly, the shame and stigma of unplanned pregnancies and the pressure on women actually makes it mentally very difficult (if not impossible)…

Its for people too lazy to make cocktails that taste good, or who want to get drunk fast.

Six year olds are generally exempt from having to be logical people.

I don’t know why it got so popular. It’s bizarre. My parents even gave it to my sister, despite the fact that they always had our middle names be deceased relatives’ names and we didn’t have a single Marie in the family.

Omg. One of my best friends in elementary school had a Danish mother, and at sleepover she would make us tiny puffy pastries in that thing and let us dip them in straight sugar. It was the best. I don’t think she used those stupid sticks to flip them, though.

If you’re between 15 and 35, I think half of the population had Marie as middle name.

I guess if a person chooses to eat gluten-free just cuz and never, ever tells anyone any rationale for why they do so, then I’d be okay with that. Good luck finding this magical unicorn.

Because every time they spread misinformation, it makes it harder for me to have my real disease taken seriously. You have no idea how frustrating it is for me to say, “I can’t eat gluten, I have celiac disease” and have someone come back with, “You know that’s just a myth, right?” or “It’s okay, this is low-gluten…

People can choose not to eat gluten; I don’t really give a shit. The problem is that the Venn diagram of “people who choose not to eat gluten because pseudoscience” and “people who are assholes/dumb” is a circle.

That brand is pretty good (great fake Oreos), but it’s still a lot of money for the amount of bread compared to non-GF stuff.

I get that intent matters legally here, but I really don’t think it matters morally.
