Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 02, 2021

You’re safe if you don’t eat the stomach or bowels. That’s where the gluten hides.

Except that they are also the fastest. So, we go for the nice, plump, slow ones.

And for dessert, as noted by an old Gary Larson Far Side, hey could go eat a crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle igloo.

What do Wiley Polar Bears call an Inuit? Free range human…

Hmm. There’s a GF bakery “Two Sisters” near here where they make delicious looking buns, cakes, cookies etc. Some of them are… not too  bad.

Do polar bears care about gluten?

So, THAT’s how I survived all my arctic expeditions!

My x “claimed” to be allergic to wheat so she switched to soy flour. Whatever she used it in was disgusting to put it mildly. I hear “gluten free” is in the same category

A Wiley Bear with Celiac? Say it ain’t so, Joe, er, Wiley.

That’s only because they are the least appetising.

Well, of course they are …

If there were that much ice in the arctic circle the bears wouldn’t be in trouble.

For those of you who have never tried any gluten free bread product, my advice is, continue to not do so.

Made me laugh – just funny

1% of people are reported to have celiacs disease and therefore need to eat gluten free. I have been in grocery stores in San Jose CA where there ware rows and rows of gluten free foods. I know if you have celiacs it is important but Is eating gluten free a fad for many?

So looking forward to the end of the fad. There really are people deathly allergic to gluten, I’ve known a couple. For the rest of us it is superstition that removing it from our diets will bring miraculous health results. (Caveat: foods with gluten may be higher in carbs than some of the gluten-free substitutes. You might lose some weight. But that is not because gluten is bad for you, it is because you need to get off your butt and exercise more, or cut back on calories consumed.) OTOH, for the couple people I know who are deathly allergic, the fad is a godsend, allowing them more variety in their diets.

Hey, we get to eat the fat slow ones. Plus we get a fun toy to catch the sprinters. Double the flavor, double the fun.

Gluten must be where all the flavor resides.

Glutton is bad for you? I get it. To much of anything is a bad thing.

WOW!!! MORE talking Wiley Bears!!!

Dum-Dee-Dum-Dum, What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

I was served vegan wedding cake once. Ugh. It wasn’t cake, and I’m not sure it was really a wedding.

Polar bears prefer “slow food” as it can’t make inside the artic mobile lab

My partner was having stomach problems for a while and thought it might have something to do with gluten, so we tried to avoid anything with gluten. Once had a pizza with a gluten free crust. The cardboard box it came in probably would have tasted better. Fortunately her issues went away so back to food that has flavor.

This comic is bearly funny.

It’s always amazing to see how many folks think they know about celiac disease, NCGS, and wheat allergies and but haven’t got a freaking clue.

All people are gluten-free.

Gluten-free is not some “healthy alternative” buzzword. It means no wheat or other gluten-full products are used. I am not a celiac but I am gluten-intolerant. It took decades to figure out. I am now much more pleasant to be around and am no longer skinny.

Gluten-free is not particularly healthier because sweeteners are often added to improve the flavor. Gluten-free cookies will make you fatter.

You don’t have to run faster than the bear. You just have to run faster than your companions.

Good general rule, that.

Nah, not enough meat for me on the skinnie ones.

My idea of gluten free is if they don’t charge me extra for it.

tasteless is another term we use.

So the truck is the sandwich or is it dessert

Fiber Fueled by Will Bulsiewicz. Good advice for most digestive issues.

One of our granddaughters is gluten sensitive. No really. She reacts to gluten whether or not she knows it’s there. We’ve tried a lot of gluten free stuff. Chocolate seems to cover up a lot of the deficiencies if the recipe is well designed. A certain brand of flour named after a mythical British king who pulled a sword out of a stone when he was a kid makes some genuinely good cake mixes. My favorite gluten free food is meat.

Wylie, you’re giving bears a bad name.

Most food is gluten-free.

Funny!! Thanks!!

One timeI broke out in hives BIG TIME, after eating strawberries. I just stopped eating strawberries. If some one wants to know why I just tell them “hives”

Gluten is just filler like soy is. You never eat it alone.

One of the things I like most about the Wiley Bears, be they black, brown or polar, is that they always look so innocent!

Wiley Bears prefer the much more Tasty “loaded with Gluten & Cholesterol” meal choices.

If it is tasty it’s bad, will kill you at the age of 122.I feel much better since I started my chocolate cake diet

How do I make the comments newest first?

My brother told this one:

A group of 5 hunters went Up North. They had a rented shack, in which 4 of them ensconced themselves with no apparent desire to walk outside in the snow. [I sympathize.] After they got a fire going in the stove, they set up a game of cards on the table, along with several 4-packs of beer. The fifth guy looked disgusted. He had paid good money to come up with this group to hunt. Finally, he could take the card game rowdiness no longer. Jamming on his cap and coat, he stalked to the door. “I’m gonna go out across the field there, and see what I can find to hunt!” Nobody even turned their head or spoke to him in response. Out he went, banging the door shut behind him.

About an hour later, one of the card-players looked up, mild concern on his face. “Say. D’y’s’pose we should go look for Sam?”

“Nyah. He’ll come back when he’s ready.” They settled back into the game. After another hour, the thoughtful one asked again.

“Say, d’y’s’pose we should look for Sam? S’ been more’n two hours, an’ it’s damn col’ out there.”

One of the others shook his head and started to answer, but paused. “Hey, I just heard something. Sounded like someone way in the distance hollering.”

The four went and opened the door. There came Sam, leg-bailing across the open field, and right behind him was a largish black bear. Sam yelled something but none of the four could make it out. Sam yelled again, and this time they got it. “OPEN THE DOOR! STAND BEHIND!” They did so.

Sam ran up to the cabin door, planted his hands on both sides of the frame to stop, and stepped quickly aside. The bear, unable to stop, went POP through the doorway. Sam quickly reached inside, and pulled the door closed. “There! You fellers skin that one, while I go and get another!”

Moral: “Some days you get the game, and some days the game gets you.”
