G-Day: 0 Hour

My fellow Celiacs,

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The  hopes and prayers of food-loving people everywhere eat with you.  In company with our brave allies and brothers-in-limitation of other foods, you will bring about the destruction of the GI war machine, the elimination of Immune system's tyranny over the oppressed villi of the small intestine, and security for ourselves in a Gluten-free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your pasta enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 2011! Much has happened since the Immune System triumphs of 2009-10. The GI doctors have inflicted upon the White Cells great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air-freshener offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the nose. Our local farmers market has given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of fresh vegetables and quality meat. The tide has turned! The Gluten-Free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! 

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
