Oh my dear sweet friends! Gluten free food is not always healthy. It just doesn't contain wheat, rye, barley or gluten containing oats. In fact, much in the way of gluten free baked goods contain more fat and sugar than those made with wheat. I eat gluten free because I am gluten intolerant. Eating this way keeps me from getting sick. If anything, a gluten free diet keeps me healthier because I eat less refined carbohydrates, partly because my access to them is limited.
Lays plain potato chips are gluten free as are Fritos, Cheetos and Staxx. Do you see what I'm getting at? Comfort food, GF or not, is usually not healthy for the body, but it some cases it can work wonders on the soul.
