Is extremely poor grammar grounds to be made fun of?

Actually I am gluten sensitive, and believe me I love the American diet of wheat. Giving up wheat is a killer. However, the alternatives, though not as good, are big buys. For instance, I pay $5.50 for a loaf of millet bread. If you visit most grocery stores, there will usually be a shelf or two of gluten-free products. The healthy food stores such as Earth Fair make their money off of the stuff as well.
Healthy or allergy conscience alternatives are big and if you can come up with a decent recipe, then you can sell it, even for more then your usual stuff.

Bill O'reilly was talking about going glutten free the other night. Although not allergic he did it a while back and among other things his cholesterol dropped. The more people who make the change the cheaper the stuff should become but can't you make your own gluttenless (I made a new word) bread?

I haven't tried making my own. Not much in to baking and it would require some experimenting to come up with something that is actually passible. Believe me, there is no wonderful substitute for wheat. There is profit in the alternative industry though. I can certainly see that just in what used to be available for wheat-intolerance people 10 years ago compared to now. Wheat free meals are even showing up on restaurant menus and healthy food store bakeries are making homemade cookies, muffins, etc. that are gluten-free.
If you cut wheat products out of life, heck yea, you'd drop weight. Cakes, cookies, pastries, pastas, pancakes, bread, croissants, breading for fried foods, most packaged or frozen foods, etc. And yeah, there are alternative, none of which are mouth watering that make you want to grab for more than you should eat---thus drop weight.
