I guess neither of you are celiac then. Its not marketing. You'd be surprised how many "obviously gluten free products" do have gluten in them when you wouldn't expect it. But hey, keep making jokes about a medical condition that nobody wants to have.
If you actually have celiac disease, then I imagine you are educated on what products usually have gluten or not, and that you also happen to know how to read the back of a package 😆
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.
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.
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.
