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

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.

<i>so wait, the gluten thing is bogus?</i>

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.

people believe a lotta things

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.

this is fucked up fields of salmon

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.

lol hurting xp

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.

I fear the goddess Ceres would strike me down if I gave up bread and grains.

ceresly?

survival tip from my father: if you ever get lost in the desert there's no need to panic because you can eat the sand-which-is there.

BOOOOM

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."

Haha, so true.

"I was tacitly bread shamed" seems every bit as special snowflake as gluten sensitivity.

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?)

I don't even own a sandwich

i don't care if you're white, brown, black bread

I always considered grilled cheese a proper sandwich and not just fancied-up bread and am now questioning whether I have lived a lie.

“People love to look at the stuff on your plate,” says the filmmaker (and bread fan) who produces projects with James Franco. “It’s like a competition! But it’s not fun… nobody ever wins.”

Think what Branwell is saying is that the concept of 'bread-shaming' is so poorly thought out as to be ... ... ... half-baked

I suffer household sandwich shaming on a regular basis

XP is it, dough?

Well as a concept it's certainly full of holes

we knead some kind of term to describe it.

cv I get bread-shamed regularly too. But I don't mind, I know my shamers are only trying to get a rise out of me

when its spelt out like that I'm amaized

It's political correctness gone aw-rye

This is too much, I've got to popover to another thread.

what crumby jokes.

Don't get me started

This is too much, I've got to popover to another thread.

But the bun is about to begin

I don't actually put gluten in people's food, it was a joke .

Those puns were painful

excuse me while i check my panbrioche.

yes, at this point they're coming off a bit flat.

If there's anything else you need, just cholla!

that's it, I'm leavening

One of my best friends is celiac and cow-juice intolerant. She had to revise her intake from cruelty-prompted vegetarianism (with all the bread and cheese that usually entails) to being a goat's cheese-eating pescatarian. On the bright side, she'll always agree to Vietnamese dinners out.

I don't actually put gluten in people's food, it was a joke .

Glad you fessed up. Secretly putting gluten into other people's food is bagl

wahey

sub-par imo

Sorry to hear that dmac. My skills are a bit crusty

you should throw yourself a pita party.

that's it, I'm leavening

Don't be crumby.

you’re trying to get a rise out of me

I like the idea of a bread poll
