It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it. This car reads to me like someone ragging on people who have peanut or shellfish allergies.
I have a shellfish allergy and I rag on me all the time. The one that really sucked was developing an egg allergy. I love eggs (and before someone suggests duck eggs, they were the initial trigger. I was probably somewhat intolerant before because they gave me heartburn and some digestion issues, but 3 duck eggs caused projectile vomit, and I haven’t been able to eat eggs since).
To give the dude some credit, a while back it was kinda in-style to hate on gluten or think you’re intolerant to it, so maybe this is just a reaction to that?
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.

There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven’t really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.
While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I’d die on.
If we were placing bets, I would put money down that his love of pigs is to shit on the Muslim community. I don’t have any hard evidence to that effect, but I dunno. I just have a feeling.

No the vast majority do it for a health fad
Celiacs are very minimal and you can look at how impossible it was to find gluten free food until it became a health fad as evidence
As someone who can’t eat wheat, I hope it continues. My life has improved dramatically since it got popular.
