GF Goes Mainstream

Have you seen that new legal show, "The Good Wife?"  I'm loving it.  The storyline: the wife of a politician having an affair with a prostitute (sound familiar?) has to go back to work when her husband is imprisoned for misuse of political office.  Luckily, she's a natural litigator and has very interesting cases come up every week.  This past week involved a slip and fall case that implicates the first amendment.  It also implicates a gluten-free diet! When the plaintiff is asked why she would travel an extra 5 blocks (or some such number) to go to the kosher grocery store when there was a perfectly good grocery closer to her house, she answers, "My daughter has to eat gluten-free (dramatic pause) and there are more options at the kosher grocery."  Spoiler alert: turns out, the plaintiff is in cahoots with the security guy and the whole thing was a scam.  I think its awesome that they came up with gf needs as the cover story!
