After reading and re-reading Ms. Truss' comment about gluten
intolerance, I have come up with an alternate view.  I don't
know if this is what she meant, but consider:
 
"I feel I've been missing out. I want to be gluten
intolerant too. I mean, how much longer do we have to put up
with that gluten crap?" 

Meaning, perhaps, "How much longer do we have to put up with
gluten itself?"  In an irreverent tone, I might say the same
thing.  How long do I have to put up with "that gluten crap"
turning up in my son's favorite foods and being included in
many foods it should not?

Ms. Truss' tone in this quote, and I presume the entire
book, is sarcastic and intolerant toward life in general.
It would seem that here is yet another area to embrace
intolerance - dietary intolerance.  She wants to get on our
bus, because she's a grumpy, complaining writer who is
making a lot of money from that stance.  .

Just a thought.  Please don't flame me for taking another
look at meanings.
