You'd think they could list their food options online. As a vegetarian, I always check out stadium websites before going to an event just so I can see what's available.

Good luck, Yuma, and enjoy the game! (The previous sentence is an example of how NOT to be an a-hole.)

When I was on a diet a couple of years ago I remember ordering a veggie and hummus platter or something like that. I can’t remember which station carried it though.

Lemme just add one more thing...these Gluten-Free fad dieters really tick us actual Celiacs off. And, so many restaurants unfortunately assume you're just riding the wave of the fad. There's no real good reason to go GF unless you have to - unless you buy into my theory that processed foods and GMOs are to blame for the whole mess.

Gluten isn't inherently bad for you; it just is if you have gluten sensitivity or outright Celiac disease.

I do think more people have gluten sensitivity than we're willing to admit as a society, but I have gluten and I get bloated or have a bad experience in the bathroom. My friend with Celiac is a total mess if she takes a risk.

But the anti-GMO thing is baffling to me. GMOs exist to feed a world that didn't have enough food beforehand, with built up resistances and such. Many people don't pause to realize that while the Monsantos of the world may be monopolizing crops, the alternative is not having enough food for our expanding population.

Going organic is fine, but it's a first world privilege. I'm sure you'd rather have a full belly with genetically modified organisms than sit around and watch blight create another potato famine.

I’ve eaten a strict no sugar no grain diet before and am currently on day 9 of a carnivore diet (meat eggs cheese butter only with emphasis on meat) and I have never felt better. Your theory is, in my belief, 100% true. People might have thought I was crazy ordering a double burger at the game and eating only the meat and cheese but today I feel great, which was never the case after game days in the past.

Yuma,

I have Celiacs and the same issue. I did not eat yesterday.

But last season they had a gluten free chicken salad sandwich at the main concession stands. It is actually pretty decent, even the bread is decent. Also, you can eat the gourmet nachos in the south end zone. To drink... margaritas.

That is gold! Margaritas and Nachos! I did have a few margaritas at the game!

Sir, I salute you. As a guy whose big research project was recombinant DNA transforming tobacco plants to produce human antibodies for therapies or vaccine, this post is a breath of fresh air. Its like if you think GMOs have tremendous upside, with minimally proven downside, based on the DATA, you are still going to be a social outcast. Thank you.
