[ExI] what a treat - eating rocks

[Henrique Moraes Machado]

Never doubt human stupidity. In Brazil we have some weird laws about 
gluten. This causes some weird stuff like 'doesn't contain gluten' 
printed on salt packages and water bottles.

Also other types of weird stuff like packages of frozen fish fillets 
that alerts 'food allergics beware: contains fish'.

The vast majority of people doesn't seem able to walk and chew gum at 
the same time, like we use to say.
