It's just another consumerist piece of bullshit. Now I won't sit here and say certain food don't mess with people, but I can almost positively say that short of Celiac disease, their illness because of food has nothing to do with gluten. It's just such a broad superficial characteristic of foods that includes a wide range of both healthy and unhealthy food. And putting "gluten free" on the box is just another way to increase the price of whatever you're buying. I'm kind of convinced that most "gluten free" advertised products actually contain gluten anyway. Monsanto can get away with poisoning foods without informing the people of what's actually in their food, I see no reason why gluten free makers would actually be honest when lying makes an easy dollar.
