Honestly, I kinda get it. It's getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I'm happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.

I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.

But it's not like it's hard to find things that aren't gluten free though. That's like, most of the grocery store.

I'm not sure I'd call things that aren't fried in lard "not real food".

It isn't real unless somebody suffered.

It's great for coeliacs, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of gluten free stuff (I'm not a coeliac but I have a parent and child who are and consequently eat a fair bit of gluten free food). Mostly it's shit cause it's low effort. With the right flours a ton of stuff is actually good, but mostly homemade. Some of the store bought breads are passable now (though pricey and I doubt anyone buys it out of preference if not a coeliac). What's annoying as fuck is having to tell your 5 year old they can't have something because something that in no way needs gluten in it contains gluten.

Accurate but I really don't think that's what he's going for.
