To a certain extent these people actually kind -of help... For example, back when my DH first was diagnosed and had to become gluten-free it wasn't "trendy" - very difficult. Now? Totally trendy! As a result? I popped over to my local grocery store and bought a gluten free cake for my husband's birthday that was great. I think it cost $10 I couldn't have done that years ago.... Years ago I would have gone to a special bakery, 45minutes away and the cake would have at least $35.00. Most restaurants now are fully aware and have a menu or can accommodate gluten-free... Just a few years ago? Not the case at all. So, in a sense, they contribute to society by motivating companies to respond to the demand for more choice.
