From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Call it "starch". The cruelty-free Linux distro.

This absolutely chaps my ass! I said I don't want dairy! I love gluten goddammit! Why am I being lumped in with celiacs??

Fewer SKUs to worry about, cheaper to just lump all the dietary restrictions together.

Gluten kicks ass. It's easily the best fake meat base. I remember in college cooking a meal for my roommates and them saying afterwards "wait, aren't you vegetarian? did you cook this just for us and not eat any?" and having to explain that no, that wasn't beef, it was wheat gluten and mushrooms and miso. They were dubious, saying, "well, to me this is just really tender beef."

So yeah. I'm also disappointed that gluten has gotten such a bad rap. I'm waiting for this knowledge to trickle back into the convenience foods sector so I can buy this stuff and not have to make it by hand every time, and it seems like I'll be waiting a long time.
