(How I went about finding my story, and why I think it's news)
I decided on a story that personally related to me. I have a gluten sensitivity and so I've noticed a trend that more gluten free foods are becoming available for us food-sensitive folk. Not only is there a decent selection in the dining halls, but there are local restaurants that have jumped on the band wagon.
The gluten free movement is a trend. It's relevant to everyone with an allergy and everyone who's heard about the benefits of a gluten-free diet. Not only is it a movement in chain restaurants and in grocery stores, it is a movement within our very own town. Mama Mac's has gotten into gluten-free pasta and a gluten-free cheese sauce (who knew the original cheese sauce included gluten!?). The Candy Corner offers gluten free cookies and naturally gluten free chocolates. DHOP even offers gluten-free pizza crust on a limited basis.
The gluten-free movement is being noticed by a lot of people. As gluten-free foods take up more space in grocery stores and on menus, it represents a change in the status quo: people want to eat healthier and take care of their insides.
