Yes, the root of the “backlash” was people avoiding gluten after it became somewhat of a health fad. Somehow it became perceived as an elitist affectation, like “they think they’re better than us! They’re too good for our regular food!!”. I don’t really get why people care so much about what other people don’t want to eat though.
