I loved donuts from DD prior to having Celiac, and have a total weak spot for them. I also travel alot, and yes I pack my own food, but when you're traveling for business, sometimes it's not the easiest to bring extras, or on a long road trip where it's nice to stop and eat with the group. It's nice to feel you have options if you want to take them(plus food in a cooler in a hot car for several days starts to get gross). I hate going to starbucks getting my coffee and staring longinly at the case of treats... Then grabbing a nut bar.

I personally can't eat the gluten free products because there are multiple ingredients in them that I'm allergic to, but I'm really happy for anyone who can eat them. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829862494351267782.post-62044611338027120312013-07-10T18:07:51.781-04:002013-07-10T18:07:51.781-04:00oh geez!

Realizing I was gluten-sensitive was only part of it. I also have high cholesterol, and became more concerned about supporting local farmers. After going gluten free in 2008, beginning in 2011 I dropped virtually all processed foods and began cooking our meals from scratch as much as possible. But in the past year I've realized that being legalistic about what I eat is counter-productive. If I crave healthy foods like citrus and avocados but can never have them (because they don't grow in Ontario), I become resentful about of all my healthy commitments. I've been returning to the old philosophy: everything in moderation. No gluten, of course, but the only thing I really miss is a good baguette, and find many of the alternatives are better than what I had before. So while I believe that we must educate ourselves as a society toward healthier eating, we won't get there by rules and restrictions. Choice is good.<br />Van Wafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404182139779527305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829862494351267782.post-8712128364318772082013-07-10T16:27:03.274-04:002013-07-10T16:27:03.274-04:00I'm delighted.

I eat very well but appreciate the ability to grab something quick on the go, or while away from home, so I'm not starving. People should have choices. It is up to them to make the right choice for themselves. If we are going to go as far as saying DD should not sell GF products because they aren't healthy, then they, and just about every restaurant out there should close their doors.
