Dietary requirements. [/quote]

I agree with this except for dietary requirements. I think the opposite:  being able to eat anything in moderation, drink and function, smoke a cigarette occasionally when with prep school friends and still look attractive and not be self conscious at all.

You know gluten intolerance is a real health problem, right?[/quote]
For less than 1% of the population, which is far, far less than the amount of people who go gluten-free to mask their subtle eating disorders into socially acceptable habits.[/quote]

False. It is just under 1% specifically for celiac - percentage is much higher for the broader spectrum of gluten sensitivities.

Though I'll grant you it could be an unintentional status symbol, as getting diagnosed takes time and good medical care, and the GF diet is frequently more expensive.[/quote]
