There is a misconception that gluten free is a fad diet and that anyone following it is just following the fad. This is incredibly wrong because gluten free started because of a health need for it. People with Celiac disease and gluten intolerance have to avoid gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. People with Celiac disease can not process gluten at all, their bodies produce antibodies against it, that in turn attack their own bodies. When people misconceive that gluten free is just a fad and write off people who eat gluten free, it becomes dangerous for the people who have to eat gluten free. There have been cases recently of people with gluten problems being feed gluten because they are being grouped with the fad diet followers. It needs to stop.
