Maybe there really are rising levels of celiac and gluten intolerance? If so, what could possibly be to blame? Mankind has been cultivating wheat for a LONG time...

I wonder if the use of processed wheat used in quick-ferment breads has affected this. I hear tell that traditional methods of bread making use enzymatic processes that make bread and the gluten therein more digestible than modern breads.

However, this could all be apocryphal.

To even think that I am able to partake of someone who actually has the capability and capacity to write a book, however remotely, is something that is deeply awesome to me, in the truest sense of the word.

To say that I envy the ability to do so would be a falsehood, as I would rather say that I think you should be celebrated; to write, and to get read is a feat that is joyfull for everybody that knows you.

You will be put front and center of my bookshelf, and I will enjoy bragging to my friends that 'oh - this is someone I know - please read the inscription to me'.

Recipe pls.

Varies a bit, but I'd say the staple you should follow is (all approximate cause that's how kurdish people roll):
6 cups of water
one cup red lentils(thoroughly rinsed)
0,5-1 onion, chopped.
t. curry powder
t. turmeric
pinch of cumin
black pepper (from personal preference to 0.5 t.)
Salt to taste
4 T. of rice
fry the chopped onion in some oil till it sweats before adding the all but the rice and let it cook for 30 minutes, then add rice and cook for 10 minutes more and that's it. If you prefer a more creamy texture then just whisk it for a few minutes before you finish.

Some people enjoy stock (poultry) in the mix, chick peas, fresh/dried lime and you could also swap the rice for some suitable pasta if you'd like. Watch and stir every now and then those last 10 minutes or the rice will stick to the bottom.

I think Marx and Engels generally explained it. Look for the bits discussing the relationship between those with capital and those without.

Margins, highly volatile market with potentially lots of incumbent or potential competitors, highly volatile consumers as well who generally reduce expenditure on luxury such as restaurant dining (depending on the restaurant) when their own household economy is hurt, season affected, requires a lot of capital to penetrate market and even then the odds of making it through is laughable most of the time.

Maybe you're keeping your expenditure as low as possible so you can recuperate the money used for start up/price penetration or you're keeping as tight a budget for rainy days. It just doesn't pay to pay more than market minimum/what your competitors are willing to pay unless you can gain something extra from the employees (Maslow) so the market ends up tacitly colluding in regards wages.

At least that's my outside-in perspective on the matter.

people just don't like paying for prepared food. there are tons of restaurants, and not so many people with an inclination to eat out. so low end restaurants charging just a little bit have to compete with industrialized food like TV dinners and mcdonalds and olive garden and poo poo, and mid-high end businesses have to compete with eachother, and a limited dining public. so really I personally just think the market is always over-saturated with "dining establishments", all operating on pretty slim profit margins, which makes it hard to pay good wages. couple that with the fact that flipping burgers doesn't really require a masters degree, and when you have tons of places needing to employ basically skill-less job positions - basically the pressure of overhead will lead any sensible business person to feel out the minimum hourly wage they can afford to pay someone, and settle on that.

couple all that with the fact that restaurant employees tend to be notoriously flaky and strange employees, and I think you have it buttoned and sealed right there. "right to work" states are probably an even bigger burden on operators - where's the incentive to pay someone a really sweet wage if they can still just up and leave whenever the hell they want to?

dunno, it sucks though. if I ever scraped together enough dollars to start a food related business, I'd love to pay people a good wage, but I think it's just tough to do in practice and stay afloat. sous, exec (if not myself), and GM are probably the three positions I could imagine salarying. maybe dishwasher, out of respect.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
My neighbor a couple of houses down had their garage burn down today. Made for a pretty exciting day what with the street being shut down for all the fire trucks and what have you. Impromptu block party, though, as a sign of community support that it was just the garage (and the 41 Buick that he was working on, that he just got, which started the fire) and not anything important (like people) that got damaged. Still, it was pretty exciting for a bit when my son ran into the house early this afternoon shouting "Dad the house is on fire!" I say "no the house is not on fire I am standing in it and it is certainly not on fire" to which he responds "No dad, the neighbor's house!" "Oh!" says I and I run out the back door only to be greeted by a wall of heat that was eminating from several properties away.

Yeah, right to work means you can't have a closed shop. You can have unions, but union participation isn't mandatory.

What everyone confuses with that is employment at will, which allows either employer or employee to terminate the working relationship without cause at any time.
