ABCDEF Gluten Free

The benefits of a local store :

A. You know your product

B. And the suppliers and the delivery people
and the ingredients

C. You know your customers

D. You know if they are coeliac

E. You know what they buy

F. You know when they put down on the counter
a loaf of corn bread that it actually
has wheat in it.

G. You tell the customer
and the customer tells you that you just saved their life!!*
(we admit this sounds dramatic, but she said it)

Some people are on gluten free diets and others are Coeliac.
An autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine.
Coeliac's are totally wheat and gluten intolerant.
Monoculture farming produces monoculture eating.
High wheat consumption, production and modification
not only causes environmental problems but also increases
chronic diseases .
Italy has the highest rate of coeliac disease recorded,
they also consume huge amounts of wheat based products.
Australia also has a high wheat based diet.
It can be really dangerous if Coeliac's consume wheat and gluten.
In the case of 'R' today who's reaction is delayed, makes
consumption all the more dangerous, she could eat a whole slice
of bread then end up convulsing and vomiting as the body
doesn't process the nutrients properly.
When we don't digest food properly our whole system is out of wack,
we can't function properly.

Pretty Yucky!

The benefits of a local store are many!
