The thing that is the absolute worst about gluten free food is how many times some company starts with gluten free and goes wild.
Oh look a gluten free key lime pie, but it’s also
dairy free
egg free
fat free
sugar free
tree nut free
vegan
made out of sustainably harvested kelp
Like fuck off, my spouse has a gluten intolerance not whatever the fuck this list is for.
I sometimes think about make a gluten free food company that is called “just gluten free” and it uses all the rest of the food stuffs. It’s hard enough to make bread that has a reasonable texture without gluten, we don’t need to make this an impossible task by excluding 80% of the rest of the ingredients that make food taste good.
Many gluten-free alternatives are just awful. I may not have had real cracker or cookie in a decade, but whatever this garbage is, should not be food.

They just want to get as many markets as possible but it’s always just. The saddest food.
Everyone can eat it! (But no one wants to!)
Ok but celiac people all agree with this take. They aren’t pretending it tastes good, they just have to eat it.
Edit: It occurs to me that you may be in the aforementioned group yourself and complaining about the outliers.
Worst pizza I ever tasted was gluten free.
