Uhm. No.
The shit, Feministe. What the shit.
Do you fucking know what is Celiac disease? I have at least three friends who have it. One of them is very close to me and my classmate, and she ALWAYS has problems finding accessible and cheap food for her; we just were discussing the other day how it was really bad that Supermarkets here don't even have Gluten-free bread. The woman has SERIOUS PROBLEMS when she eats gluten and she has to avoid it completely. Seriously, we even have activities about Celiac Diseases (and other autoimmune diseases) at my faculty. Because it is a serious disorder. ("Only 1% of American have it! And that sucks" uhm, okay.)
You really, really don't know shit.
(Also, what is the shit about policing other people diets? "A lot of people CLAIM to be gluten intolerant!" 1) And? 2) You obviously live in a place where gluten-free bread/whatever is easy to find.)

i have a friend w/ gluten intolerance. i can see what happens when he eats gluten. we get to navigate those waters together. how did the author turn gluten intolerance into a kind of hypochondria?
is it just me is she centering a real disease on her personal concerns about food disorders?
if this was about people using real diseaseS to mask eating disorders, why just stick with the gluten issues? what is this all about? did someone make her able privileged life difficult by needing to find a meal that was gluten free? did the author interact with someone who needs a gluten free diet and didn't meet the author's standard of health, and when she mentioned her opinion did she get schooled?

Seriously.
Because everyone knows it is SO healthy to start to make lists about, "who is really sick, and who is faking to lose weight!"
Celiac people and people with food allergies needs these trivializing SO much. (And wasn't a feminist thing not to judge other people and their bodies and whatever they do with them as long it doesn't hurt anybody?)
