<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In response to the price of food for everyone going up... as it is, i have to pay $2.25 for a box of gf pasta. if i could eat wheat, this would cost me 60 cents. unfortunately, the ellimiation of my food allergies/intolerences has not cured me,,, i am somewhat better, quite a lot, actually, but i am still disabled. thus i cannot work and cannot afford such expensive food. i think that if gf foods were to become more commercially available then the price would go down and it wouldn't cost anyone else any more,, as they could still by the 60 cent wheat pasta. There should be laws governing foods more than there are now. the labeling,, which allows for such things as "other ingredients",, should be better, and there has to be education of restaurants, hospitals, schools, etc. It is just the same as a diabetic, or any other allergy. It's not too much not to poison someone deathly allergic to peanuts or mushrooms. it's the same with Celiac. and as this society continues on its path of fast food, processed food, and the multitudes of artificial chemicals, preservatives, colours, flavorings, etc. there will be more and more people who have restrited diets. Anyway. enough. Just had to have my say. Thank you for listening. and for those of you who have already pressed that delete key <smile>.. well,. Dara
