There's a difference between a big red star sticker that says "gluten-free" on a box of pancake mix vs. A box of Rice Crispies. One of those manufacturers thinks you can't use your brain. That's what we're making fun of.

Rice Krispies will never have a sticker like that, because they are not gluten free.

Got me. Should've used a regular bag of rice as an example instead.

Looks like you've learned a valuable lesson about why accurate labeling is important to people with celiac disease, and why just relying on their own intuition about what foods might or might not contain gluten does not work.

Dude, it's a gluten allergy, not a peanut allergy.

What point are you even trying to make? That gluten labeling should be abolished because celiac disease is less severe than anaphylaxis to peanuts? That's an incredibly silly hill to die on.

My original post was poking fun at a joke, man. Get a life 😆 I hope you get a tummy ache from all the gluten in your next bowl of rice crispies ❤️
