Russian Artist with Celiac Disease is Facing Prison for Ukraine War Protest

It seems like Celiac.com just can't stay out of the political arena and hasn't learned anything from comments left on other stories with a political leaning.  I just hope someone will interview me as someone with celiac and who had been imprisoned by the Biden Administration for stating an opposing view.  If you are laughing and think I'm a fool then you haven't been paying attention to assault on our constitutional rights.

Bob, judging from the little bit of information you supply about your experience, I'm probably on your side of the ideological street, for the most part, but I hope you realize you just criticized this article for being political by using a politically charged argument yourself.

Celiac.com reports on stories that are of interest to those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and this story certainly falls under our purview. We're not political, nor have we taken any political position by reporting this story. We've covered many similar stories in the past and will continue to do so.

Precisely!  That was my point.  It’s stories like this that start the mindless banter.  If the story was about prison food in general, then that might be enlightening.  Fortunately for many of us we will never know, at least first hand, about prison food.

But you could have expressed your gripe about the article including a political slant without adding in your personal experience as a political victim. It added nothing to the point you were making IMO. It came across to me as you using it as an opportunity to vent about your own experience as believing you were a victim of partisan politics.

Hey Bob the Guest, you weren’t “imprisoned by the Biden administration for stating an opposing view.” If you were part of the insurrection, you were rightfully charged for illegal activity. This isn’t the place to spread your wacky opinions.

And if you have Celiac Disease and they served you food with gluten you would be the next story. It is about the right to appropriate nutrition regardless belief. Would withholding Insulin from a prisoner be ok?
