Fruits and veggies and basic, healthy protein sources are more widely available than at any other time in human history, at least in wealthier countries. Finding wholesome food that is not marketed with BS is another thing of course.

Still, the whole thing about "unpronounceable" ingredients is yet another pointless fad that chooses to ignore the science of the matter. Food bloggers love to spread fear, because it garners attention to themselves. Unfortunately, the fear they foment is almost always unfounded.

You do realize that the study that showed a possibility of gluten sensitivity was even smaller... HuckleB May 2014 #9
