Wheatware?

This company was mentioned on a music oriented website that I frequent because they make guitar picks and drumsticks out of wheat. I went to their site and they make chopsticks and flatware also- out of wheat. They do have a statement on their site that their products are safe for people with wheat allergies.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Didn't want to post a link, just do a search for "wheatware" if you are interested.

I wouldn't use them, I couldn't, not knowingly anyways. It's just the thought. On the other hand, there are many vitamins that have wheat grass, or barley grass, and we are told there isn't enough gluten to harm us, yet some still react. Of course, you would not be eating the plates. If they are paper plates though, and you have something on the plate that soaks into the plate...what happens then?

No, I would not touch these products. I also will buy my guitar picks gluten free! :D There is a huge selection out there, we don't need to use this.

Now that is freaky. I wonder if they have to disclose the fact they create these items from wheat? I always

wonder about paper plates....

I'm not a lawyer and don't even play one on TV but I'd guess that since none of these products are intended to be consumed, there is no labeling law. Of course, since they are trying to hit the "green" market they will probably prominently promote the vegetation as a input angle.

This is rather scarey. One thing is that the container being a food it can become moldy and/or rotten - so I don't think these items could be warehoused for very long.

This is what happens when people fail to give the whole story and/ or take things out of context.

Wheatware is basically plastic by the time the consumer uses it.

If I am allergic to wheat food products, will I be allergic to Wheatware

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
