No Gluten, No Dairy, No Fair!: Popularizing GDF Living: Good or Bad?

Chances are everyone you know, knows someone who's gluten or dairy free and if you are GDF, then that's definitely the case. The hype of the gluten-free diet is all around us. It's unavoidable, mainly due to the single fact that everyone thinks going gluten free will help you lose weight. While this is the case for me and can be the case for others with a sensitivity, it is by no means, one-size-fits-all (no pun intended). As studies are published and the truth about gluten and dairy sensitivity comes more to light, hopefully misconceptions about this lifestyle and how it effects people, will be laid to rest. As more information flows, my hope is that all of the benefits of GDF living will be exposed and that this fad will become life changing for more people.

Lately though, I have been noticing that the media is jumping on the bandwagon as well. Maybe that's because according to Fox News, the gluten-free industry saw an increase of 28 percent in annual growth rate from 2008 to 2012. In fact according to Packaged Facts, it is estimated that the gluten-free foods industry will be worth more than $6.6 billion in 2017. That's a nice chunk of change, but let's not get started on people who seek to profit off of other's misfortunes. One way this does benefit us sensitive-types is it creates a demand for more GDF products, which theoretically drives the prices down. Fingers crossed!

Anyway, to relieve your case of the Mondays, I've posted some non-thinking activity this afternoon. Here are some videos of GDF living about and from people you may know:
