Hi all,

On the 6th of this month I asked my questions, and I recieved 17
replies, sent from 9 countries.

I thanked most of you personal, but when I forgot someone, thanks for
your reply.

I realize the answers are personal and not representative of the
situation for all people in those countries, but I have the idea and
some of your reactions bring me the idea for asking further in your
country.

I understand there are some difficulties with long e-mail, so, I give a
short summary and if you wanted to know more you can ask.

Most reactions on question 2 are:" If you buy fresh food or vegtables,
no problem. But otherwise........."

For the U.S.A. and Australia was the answer on question 3:"only in the
bigger cities."because the distances in the outback are enorm, but there
are in the most countries good mail systems to order and recieve GF
food.

I give the common answers by country.

3. mostly yes
4. unknown
