Bread shame is more of a domestic thing than a public thing, in my world. You know that thing where one domestic partner suggests having grilled cheese for dinner and the other feigns disagreement in a way that makes both partners feel bad for wanting to eat bread for dinner. Should we? "No, not if you don't want to. Do I? Kind of, but maybe we should be healthy."

Doesn't have to be grilled cheese. Could just be baguette with dinner.

p.s. i haven't eaten bread in a week and that bagel/cream cheese up top looks GORGEOUS
Is that a bagel? I don't think that's a bagel, it's too oddly shaped.

If anyone told me they didn't eat bread I would just look at them. And judge.

the great thing about gluten free people is how easily they are thwarted. you can buy something called "vital wheat gluten" which is essentially pure gluten. when i cook for the gluten free crowd, i like to throw a tablespoon of this stuff in to whatever i'm making, even if it's something that wouldnt ordinarily have flour in it. for example, thai lentil curry with lemongrass AND GLUTEN. so far no complaints, which proves this whole thing is horse shit.
disclaimer: i would never fuck with anyone who had actual allergies, sensitivities, or cultural/religious dietary concerns. only gluten.

That sounds like an asshole thing to do, fields of salmon, if you were cooking for someone who had been medically diagnosed with celiac's disease

OTOH probably 99% of the gluten-free crowd are self-diagnosers

A small percentage of people have medically demonstratable difficulties tolerating gluten. A larger group of people <b>believe</b> they feel better when they don't eat gluten.

A group of people in my office decided to try gluten-free for 30 days together. I asked them about the results and most of them said they felt no different. One of them, however, told me "I didn't really notice a difference, but I'm definitely going to keep doing it."

i would probably feel a lot better if i cut out beer and bagels and pizza 100%. many dietary restrictions are just a way for people to remember not to eat bullshit/high glycemic poison. imo.

my friend who has bonafide diagnosed coeliac disease is grateful to these abstinent fools for vastly increasing the range of gluten-free food available, so even though they're boring and ridiculous they do have their uses.

No, I don't think that ~bread shaming~ is a Real Thing.
However, Food Shaming, as a more general thing, is definitely a Real Thing, also Diet Shaming, which is what a lot of people are discussing ITT. (And these things are closely tied to Body Shaming, with all its inherent gender and class and sometimes race issues all wrapped up in it.)
What bothers me about this, though, is the way that people will take a term or usage associated with (for lack of a better word) "social justice world" and then use it as a clever buzzword, and push it into reductio ad absurdum examples which are patently ridiculous, and specifically aimed at provoking ridicule or disbelief or invocation of the "special snowflake" dismissal. But the actual target of this is not the absurd example, but the whole concept itself, especially when tied to digs at how ~terrible~ the whole "social justice" thing is. The target here isn't "Bread-shaming" (which is absurd) but the idea of "X-shaming" when used in other, more legitimate contexts.
This happened with "privilege" and now it's happening with "X-shaming". Where "OMG, this usage is so terrible and buzzword and overused" becomes a kind of shortcut to dismissing the whole concept itself. Which leaves me with a deeply unpleasant taste (faintly akin to stale bread?)
