So many people seem to need to go gluten-free these days. I wonder if it’s just a fad rather than a medical necessity… If it gets people trying new foods, I’m all for it. However, I hate to see such a valuable food source as wheat (so long a basic) be maligned
Hi Vinny,
I always say ‘Wheat nourished civilizations!’ That is why it’s so hard to use one flour to replace it… I definately don’t wish to malign wheat, take a look at my article “Gluten-Free: Questions and Answers” http://nourishingfoodways.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/gluten-free-questions-answers/ where I address some of the issues you raise here (especially about the gluten-free diet fad)!
Best wishes,
Dori
