Vegan takeaway orders quadruple over past two years

I'm surprised by the recent popularity of seitan. Obviously you don't have to avoid gluten to be vegan, but I've always had the impression gluten avoidance is adjacent to veganism. At least for vegans who cite personal health as their primary motivator.

Gluten avoidance is nothing to do with health benefits - it’s a constraint imposed by celiac disease. If you don’t have the disease, there is no reason to avoid gluten.

Ya I'm highly skeptical of avoiding gluten providing any benefit to people without celiac disease.

Many avoid it nonetheless.
