[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc is a strange place, so much catering towards vegetarianism, which is a choice and relatively small percentage of the population. There’s almost no acknowledgement of people that can’t eat gluten/wheat due to health reasons. At just about every gathering we go to there is a veggie pizza, or veggie lasagna, or vegan buns, and complete disregard for the kids that can’t eat wheat. It’s very annoying. [/quote]

Until very, very recently, true celiac disease was VERY rare.  I would still say that those who really can't eat gluten is a small percentage of the population.[/quote]

1% of the U.S. population has celiacs. And other 1% have Wheat allergies. If you host a get together there is a good chance at least one of your guests needs to avoid wheat products.[/quote]

I have no problem planning a menu with invited guest’s dietary requirements in mind, but please think critically before you type.

By the stats you cite, 98% of the US population is not celiac and does not have a wheat allergy. These are minuscule numbers. Birth control has a higher fail rate.

According to these stats, there is absolutely NOT a good chance that one of your guests needs to avoid wheat unless you are having a gathering for hundreds of people. [/quote]
