Yes, I don’t eat animal products but no, I’m not vegan.

A shout out to all those gluten free people out there!  The food world, including markets, prepared food and restaurants, have been great at adjusting to the greater demand for gluten free products.  Sure, it’s a bit of a fad and not everyone that is gluten free NEEDS to be gluten free, but either way it is their choice and it is great that society is adapting and is able to support both the true allergy and the people seeking to eliminate gluten from their diet.  There are a few myths I’d like to debunk right off the bat: No, you will not suddenly gain a flat belly despite what those ads on the internet say. No, you will not lose a ton of weight if all you are doing is substituting your carbs for the gluten free variety. AND no, gluten free does not equate to healthy food (please refer to a previous post).
