Latest stupid trend: "gluten free"

Had a discussion with a health fad nut who insists "gluten free" is the way to go and proudly talked of how well she was doing with it. d'oh. It isn't, unless you have some kind of sensitivity to it. In fact, it can be detrimental to your health. But that doesn't stop the market from taking advantage of the trend; I see lots of "gluten free!" tags on products now, as if that's an inherently good thing, and shudder to think how many people suck right up to it.
