Keep On Keepin' On

This guy's rant hurts my heart...and a lot of other people's hearts as well, apparently, as it's making it's way across the Gluten Free community like a bat outta hell. Obviously this chap's got a lot of misplaced anger (don't we all). What at first seems like a simpleton's tirade quickly reveals itself to be the action plan of a decided Pussy with a capital "P." Frankly, fucking with people's food is the oldest trick in the Passive Aggressive book.

While it's obvious that the Gluten-Free-Backlash is here to stay, I think this particular guy serves as a wonderful reminder to every single person who has celiac or who is gluten intolerant that we cannot control the actions of others. We must stay vigilant for our own safety, all the while politely educating whenever possible. Order more salads, veggies...and wine. Frequent the establishments that welcome the Gluten Free people with open arms. Appreciate how much more awareness there is now than there was ten years ago, how many more choices we have as consumers and as patients.

So don't sweat Damian Dumbass and his lame bag of tricks. There are many more like him, and there always will be. Let's turn this rock fight into a bake-off, which means I'm off to go make a kick-ass GF chocolate cake.
