It's a double-edged sword, for sure. Like you mentioned, some things are naturally gluten-free or dairy-free so why the label? For instance, I had a friend ask me if the corn tortilla chips I had were gluten-free...um, yes. So maybe for someone like that a label is helpful. However! Labels can also be inaccurate and misleading. I like your analogy of this being a moving 3D puzzle. Very true!
