No spectrum discussion? At all? Just stereotypical hacker news pure binary 1 and 0 thinking? That's so sad.
There are people who get sick if you share gluten contaminated dishes or practically even just sniff the stuff. Toward the other end of the spectrum my medically diagnosed son doesn't explode out both ends unless he eats at least a visible amount like about a bite, kids will be kids and a stolen classmates cookie will make him puke if he eats the whole thing maybe half the time, maybe a little more, but sometimes especially when he was little he would shock us, swap sandwiches with some kid and only have diarrhea the next day no puking. Anyway, further along I feel seriously uncomfortably "blah" from too much bread or beer or pizza or baked stuff in general although I'm not diagnosed and being mostly paleo I rarely eat that junk anyway, and then there's the unaffected people.
The backlash against people who don't like feeling "blah" but can eat an oreo without vomiting is pretty annoying. So I'll eat GF with my son, in familial solidarity if nothing else, but if I see a really tasty piece of cake and my son doesn't mind if I eat it in front of him ... it would be cruel if he wanted to eat it too, but if he is full and doesn't care, he's about as libertarian as his dad, so no problemo, I'll eat the cake. So here I am, everyone dogpile on VLM because I'm (sorta) GF but I'm "that guy" who will sometimes eat a slice of cake or drink A beer, despite being GF. If that gives some 3rd party, whom I do not care about, a sad panda face, well, I can't say as I feel responsible for their feelings or really care at all beyond "too bad for them" or "hope you enjoy your pout and crying fit as much as I'm enjoying my annual slice of garlic bread".
Its like the backlash against people who eat fast food with a diet coke. Hey, if I don't want to drink any more corn syrup than necessary, so I don't, that's just too bad for you if you don't like what I'm doing. Have a nice pout while the adults eat, that's about all I can say. Try not to dehydrate yourself too severely by all the crying.
I'm about the same WRT my diet also being about 95% or so paleo. So I almost never eat cookies but I did eat a few at that 4th of July party. If what I ate rabidly infuriates you, I'm sad to report I don't give a F, hope you enjoy your rage because I don't care about your rage. I've got a little troll in me and next time I eat a cookie will probably be at a Christmas party, and I'll be sure to eat it right in front of you, I admit I'm not perfect and it is kind of funny to watch. I suspect this trolling is a large part of gluten-sorta-tolerant people eating gluten food in front of arrogant people just to make their brains explode in rage.
Some business or life advice that goes far beyond diet, is if you decide you will let other people take control of you, don't be surprised if they pull your chain a bit for fun as a semi-polite reminder that's a pretty stupid way to go thru life.
