24. It's hard not to be serious about something that makes you bleed.

Which is the case for me.

People with celiac have an enormous problem with labeling. Medications are a particular problem, because generic drug manufacturers don't have to label their filler ingredients -- and they don't.

So if some potato manufacturer wants to brag that they are gluten-free, I applaud them. I wish all food producers clearly labeled their products when they contain gluten -- but they don't. So the alternative is for producers of gluten-free foods to label them. And if they sell some more potatoes that way, good.

Maybe more manufacturers will end needless contamination so they can sell gluten free foods, too.
