It is possible to survive healthily without eating any of these.
Rice cakes are a reasonable substitute for crackers.
I never eat pizza, biscuits or breakfast cereals (other than porridge- no gluten there)
I do nibble a few bread sticks (grissini) now and again but I don't ever buy bread or flour.
I am not coeliac but have noticed that those gluten items cause my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) to flare up so I avoid them.
I say that avoidance. rather than the NHS substitution of these foods, is a perfectly reasonable option.

Porridge? - made from oats and therefore contain gluten as do bread sticks, as you are not a Coeliac you should refrain from pontificating on the subject - you choose your way of life, don't attempt to inflict it upon others.
