Gluten-free has become a buzzword and a highly sought-after characteristic in food. Grain Free Day began in 2019 as a promotional venue for Siete Family Foods, a grain-free traditional Mexican and American foods manufacturer.
Gluten is an organic protein found in plants called prolamin. People with celiac disease and those with a wheat allergy—less than 1% of the global population—experience inflammation and other side effects from gluten. For this extreme minority of people, their diets must be gluten-free. Today is a day to learn about that and empathize by going a day without grain.
However, like many current and former food fads, the majority of people who insist on gluten-free do not need it. Their reasons are self-serving, including:
Vanity reasons (e.g., demanding gluten-free without a disease gets a person a lot of attention via disruption at any event with food and sympathy).
Psychological reasons (e.g., they think it's healthier because some influencer says so; it is something they can control (and be pitied for), or they have imagined symptoms medical tests cannot confirm).
Regrettably, the gluten-free bandwagon boy-who-cried-wolf embracing of the fad diminishes the reality and urgency for the small percentage of people with an actual health need for a gluten-free diet—people with celiac or a diagnosed allergy. It trivializes their condition by making it a fad. For them, it is not a fad. It is life and death.
For the record, gluten has zero negative impact on non-celiac and non-wheat allergic people. In fact, as a protein, it is highly favorable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
