As Coeliac Awareness Week draws near in the UK watch out for more PR on coeliac disease.
Post up links to articles/ mags etc here so we can discuss the best ones.
EG Waitrose's Weekend magazine has some articles and GF recipes to support the campaign this year
Coeliac UK have stuff on their website that can be downloaded for Coeliac Awareness week, next week.
Maybe the members of GFG could have their own awareness campaign.
I'd like to see supermarkets having their own special advisers for gf foods eg: a member of staff who was au fait with the foods that were gf.
We could also have another pop at Kellogs and say come on you blighter's you make gf break fast cereals in the US.
That's a good idea Jerry. We'll be posting up tips for Facebook page Status updates/ Twitter hashtags etc as before for last year. How about some good quiz ideas for Facebook status updates so we can raise awareness amongst friends & family e.g. Which one is actually gluten free - a) buckwheat or b) spelt?
We'd love a dietary expert in each supermarket. It's disturbing how few supermarkets actually know where or if they have their own Free From list of foods.
Let's also devise a list of companies we wish would do more for coeliacs and we can all pull together and do some emails en masse next week. We feel that would raise awareness far more than a GF eating challenge which non coeliacs are very unlikely to want to or understand how to participate in.
Here's some ideas we had last year for inspiration:
