Just thought I would start a conversation on the topic I have seen in
numerous posts lately.

Posters have said the GF diet is healthier.  Healthier than what?  I am
lucky that I only have to contend with a GF diet and no other restrictions.
Previous to being diagnosed I made most of my food from scratch so there was
very little change to it.  I still "binge" on junk foods, only eliminating
those that are not GF.  I still eat sugar, candy, fats, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not sure what aspect of the GF diet is healthier.

I never was a fan of bread, cakes, cookies, etc.  When I went out for dinner
it was steak or chicken, baked potato and salad as my first choice.  I could
care less about pizza and pasta as I have always been a meat and potatoes
person.  My most favorite fast food meal was stir fry veggies and steamed
rice or fried rice.  Now I just stick to the steamed rice using my own soy
sauce.  Other fast foods include baked potatoes and salads.  Never was a
burger fan unless I made them at home.

Posts detailing what is healthier about a GF diet and compared to what kind
of diet will be summarized.

Thanks.
