Nobody forces you to buy the gluten-free pasta or whatever, so I can't see how things are worse for the people who neither have nor believe themselves to have C

  Yeah, I don’t know what this is about. You can buy stuff with gluten in it. But I can kind of see it as if you had 99 things that meet your preference and 1 thing that doesn’t, then when you move to a world with 900 things that meet your preference and 100 that don’t, you see that as 9% of things being displaced rather than you having additional 801 things. In fact, I shall call this the Percentage Bias. The Percentage Bias is when you allege displacement by looking at alterations in ratios without looking at alterations in total amounts.

    It does come off as a bit kneejerk, huh. There's this like, cultural thing where folks just get mad at people who do things they don't understand, especially when they perceive it as 'dumb'. My question to that is; why on earth do you care what other people choose to do and why? I get that there was an argument made here to that effect, but for real, nobody is suffering from other people eating less gluten. I know I'm not and I love me a good bagel.
