Barb Verson walks down the aisle at Whole Foods and points at different gluten-free products.
"White. White. White," she says. "There's another white — whatever."
To Verson, of Boulder, all of this whitewashing means two things. Unhealthy. And disgusting.
Even as a certified nutritionist running a gluten-free business, she has to admit: Her kids wouldn't touch most gluten-free products; they're often dry and bland. Quite comparable to cardboard. And Verson says she wouldn't feed those products to her children, anyway. To her, the whiteness is a sign that the food is nutrient-void, packed with white flours, starches and preservatives, she says.
She says she wanted food that her whole family could — and would — eat together, despite her gluten intolerance.
