I was sad to read about people's experiences.  Nothing tears a parent's heart
out more than watching someone hurt our children (even inadvertently).

But I also have to say that I think sometimes we tend to make too big of a
deal out of The Diet and Disease, causing others to THINK it's a bigger deal
than it is - and even become fearful of it.  If we teach our kids early on to
strictly stay away from gluten (my son is 7 and he wouldn't TOUCH it - also
practices, "if I don't know if it's okay, I won't eat it"), we can rest
assured that they'll politely say, "I can't eat that.  May I please have an
apple?"  (Well, I'd be really happy if he was that polite all the time,
but.....)

The other day I sent him to a friend's house and forgot to tell the mom (okay,
I'll get the mail about what a bad CD mom I am now!).  Anyway, when she
returned him, she said, "Wow, he is a great eater.  I offered him cookies, but
all he wanted was fruit!  I wish my son ate that well!"

Just keep in mind that attitudes are contagious....:)
