Totally agreed. It's funny though, when I talk to people about it, they often react very strangely and strongly. Like they just have to know what it is. I take a very laissez faire attitude about it, I know I can't eat bread and pasta, so I don't. I don't stress about trace amounts of whatever, it doesn't seem to make a difference. When I tell people this, they don't seem to think that's an adequate explanation.

It's the same when people ask me what kind of dog I have. When I tell them we really have no idea except that he's a good dog, they often try to categorize him, even though it makes absolutely no difference. In fact they often get kinda grumpy with me when I answer that he's a dog.
