Nobody had ever heard of gluten or even knew what it was back then.

Maybe a handful of granola munchers and health freaks.

I actually have the sheet music to this song.

Used to play it on the gee-tar.

No explanation necessary.

Just making chit-chat.

As I said before, all the neon makes me think this was broadcast in the 1980s not the 2010s. Perhaps, it's just me!

OuchYoung white men are SO sheltered, naïve and otherwise stupid. *I* would have gone with 'luten' - just drop the missing letter. Who needs it? Heck, I don't think I even heard of the word until I was 50...
