Problem is that the wheat we have now is far higher in gluten content through genetic manipulation. It is not the same wheat we had a couple generations ago, or even in the 1940s and 1950s.
It is a real problem for the 4%, but a marketing gimmick for the rest of us. As a gimmick, it has gotten so bad, I have seen water labeled “gluten free”.

96% of the worlds population have no issue with gluten.

I don’t mind it. I have no idea what the fuss is all about. It’s probably another marketing gimmick.

Everyone wants it, they just don’t want to pay for it.

Gluten is actually good for you if you are not one of the 4% that can’t eat it.

Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Just because we can’t eat it doesn’t mean we don’t miss it every single day. Sigh.

Gluten is a food filler and gives body and texture to food, like tofu is in Japan. Nothing wrong with it for 99% of people.
