Default WTF is gluten-free!?

This seems to be the latest fad since the bogus Atkins "no/low-carb"
nonsense. Or did I miss one? I bought a bag o' Udi's Classic
Hamburger Buns (gluten-free). At $3.99 per pkg, I thought I was
buying an 8-pak. Nope. Four buns at $1 ea!! I liked Udi's organic
hot-dog buns, but was not expecting $1 per bun for a no wheat flour
burger bun. Granted, it held up to a very juicy burger w/ tomatoes,
sweet relish, etc, but a buck per bun!? C'mon. WTF is the deal with
gluten-free? Is everyone allergic to GMO wheat or jes wheat in
general.

Between peanut allergies, wheat allergies, and e-coli, we seem to be
in some sorta food Hell. Ever wonder why ppl have become allergic to
these foods? All the while, companies that promote genetically
engineered foods are refusing to inform you if they are GMO. Why are
they spending millions of dollars to keep us in the dark?
