Allergies run in my family so that could be one reason. Another reason is
as soon as you put some gluten free item in your cart at the store, you are
often approached by some other customer who also has to avoid gluten. We
tend to talk to each other.

My daughter had a friend who had all of her food allergies plus some more.
I was already friends with the girl's mom before we learned of their
allergies.

We are no longer in contact with them because they changed the boundaries of
the school and the girl moved to a different school. So we just kind of
grew apart.

Also, the people who run my health food store often point people to me when
I happen to be in there. I don't mind answering questions, giving recipes,
etc. And they use Angela to taste test new products.
