The article didn't read that way for me. I enjoyed the part where you tried to explain gluten to the crew, it reminded me of a scene from the movie "Everything is Illuminated", where the main character tries to explain he is vegetarian.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um2p4GlEbKg
this recalls to my mind J.S. Foer's 'Everything is Illuminated,' which deals with Ukrainian-Jewish issues in general and identity in particular. Was also made into an outstanding and hilarious movie by L. Schrieber
Every one of those is on my list :)
I've read Watchmen, Everything is Illuminated, and Slaughterhouse Five. All were fantastic. The film adaptation of Everything is Illuminated was actually very good too.
