Good point. Wheat and barley were the cereal grains that civilization were built upon. When people have children who have a mutation that keeps them from digesting them, then they should keep them away from gluten and breeding.

The rest of us should just go along on our merry way.

Good things can sometimes come out of bad beginnings. Say for example FDR creating the highway system. The highway system is great, but it doesn't excuse FDR.

You can start with your children.

Wheat, barley and rye are related to a degree with the development of civilization in the Middle East. Rice is strongly associated with that development in the Far East. Corn has its friends in the Americas.

Post Dark Ages European civilization owes its rise directly to the potato.

Rice, corn and potato do not contain wheat gluten.

BY THE WAY the world's most ancient still celebrated custom is Passover. "Kosher for Passover" prohibits the use of Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats and I believe Rice ~ grains known to the ancients. In a number of ways the success of Western Civilization has depended on the "Kosher for Passover" standard.
