So here’s a study that says that Subway is just as bad for teenagers as McDonalds, based on nothing but counting calories. As though nothing matters except calories.

I’d love some gluten-free bread options.
At Sam’s Club today I saw gluten-free sugar.
You don’t say. I bet it’s cholesterol-free too.
Well, they do put gluten in all sorts of stuff that just shouldn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if most sugar packets had gluten in them.
Also, I thought you were more likely to get HFCS than sugar when you went looking for sweetener.
the sugar packets in our cafeteria have clearly printed on them “Contains No Fat”
Yes, it’s sadly amusing to go down a candy aisle in the supermarket and see all of the packages proclaiming themselves to be “Fat Free!”
I like how they label the 83 calorie difference between the Subway and McDonald’s meals as “statistically insignificant”, but the 105 calorie difference between the Subway meal and the allegedly recommendation of 850 calories for a meal is worthy of a news story. Maybe they should quit their day jobs and shovel hamburgers for a living. You know, let scientists do the science?
If you want a gluten free meal eat beef jerky or drink milk or whatever.
Seriously what is it with this anti-gluten movement? If its a cereal its going to have gluten in it.
It’s certain other “movements” which I’m trying to avoid by not eating gluten.
My lady and myself are on the paleo diet, and I make a pretty decent almond flour Irish soda bread. Unfortunately, almond flour is a lot more expensive than the wheat stuff.
I would like to see the archeological evidence for almond flour or Irish soda bread in the Paleolithic era.
It appears the Paleolithic diet could more accurately be called the Raj Koothrappali diet.

Sorry, too busy cooking good food and eating it to care about piddling nitpicking. Thanks, though!
Godzilla – Wrong. Oats, maize, millet, quinoa, rice (just for starters) – none of them contain any gluten at all. And there is no doubt they are all cereals, and there is breakfast cereal made with all of them. Barley is marginal.
There is an interesting question buried in this. Why are the two grains with the worst potential for allergy and intolerance problems in the top 10 for amount grown worldwide, with the worst of them all at #1?
Regarding Subway versus McDonalds – Well, Subway and McD’s may well have roughly the same calorie content but on the other hand McD’s have far more sugar and chemicals. And on the gripping hand, the real issue is carbohydrate content (even more specifically, easily available carbohydrate) and both of them have far too high a carbohydrate content – as can be readily seen.
