It's the misinformation that bothers me. I'm fine with people making "stupid" decisions as long as they're informed about it. We have had a trend of labeling things as "free" because they are assumed bad for us, such as fat and calories. So people go gluten-free because they somehow think it is bad for them when it's not. And the fad also encourages companies to label things that NEVER have gluten as gluten free almost to try to devalue their competition.
The problem seems to be there's just no middle ground between the two side because people refuse to educate others about the facts, or people simply refuse to be educated at all.
