Bags of white powder seized as part of a "huge drugs bust" at London's Gatwick Airport actually contained vegan cake ingredients, the British Transport Police said.
A member of staff at Purezza, a vegan restaurant with stores in London and Brighton, was transporting a suitcase filled with bags of cake mix when it was seized by police Wednesday afternoon.

The thing is, it's a worthy diet for certain people who have a genuine medical need to avoid gluten. But then a bunch of morons jumped on it, thinking somehow it's more healthy (it's actually not) and it became a fad.

Those people, who are quite real, are few and far between, and by-and-large not responsible for the horrendous array of protein-free plant products that taste like paper.
I don't wish celiac people ill, figuratively or literally, but I detest fad diets with a burning passion.

I fully agree about fad diets (my last relationship partly ended because I refused to adopt my gf's fad diet), but the thing about gluten is that there very well may be more people who need to avoid it to stay healthy than just celiacs and Crohn's patients. Look up "FODMAP sensitivity"; there seem to be a lot of people who have a genuine problem with this stuff. So yeah, I do agree that people who really don't have a problem should jump on the GF bandwagon; it's not "healthier". However, there do seem to be some people who really do better by cutting this stuff out of their diet, and it's not fully understood yet why this is, though I wouldn't be surprised at all if it turned out to be something to do with their gut bacteria.
