    It’s amazing how so many people have time on their hands for things like this.

    Let’s see: Gluten is what we used to call wheat germ, that is the part of a wheat kernel that germinates. The operative word here is WHEAT. Beer is made from hops and barley. No wheat, no gluten. So what’s their problem?

    There is gluten in barley, too. It is not a problem for most people, but there are good gluten-free beers made for those who need them.

    Those East Virginians were always a bit pushy when it came to their psychosomatic disorders !

    Yes, I know Celiac disease is very real and there lots of folks who have a gluten sensitivity but….

    Science Says Gluten Sensitivity Isn’t Always Real – Some People Are Just Whiners

    That may be a snarky way of saying it, but it is true in certain cases. Scientific studies have concluded that sensitivity to gluten for people who do not have Celiac disease may only be psychological.

    It is especially relevant in a country where 17 million people may unnecessarily believe that they are gluten sensitive (source: A Mayo Clinic survey in 2012, cited in a NY Times article.)

    t is especially shocking in a planet that spent $10.5 billion last year on gluten-free products (source: Mintel, a market research company, cited in the NY Times article.)

    It is especially important because a psychological disease can spread as fast as any virus

    Finally, it is especially lucrative for all the food companies making tons of money off of people who are not really gluten sensitive.

    Those intemperate temperance groups should know, the minute you protest beer, you’re gonna lose. Best to just surrender to a power greater than yourself.
