I don't know many veggies or vegans and luckily the ones I do know haven't been to bad about their diets or too moany. But I do agree it is a life choice and they are possibly in the minority so the majority as catered for! I've been on a low protein diet all week and it is flipping hard. Much harder than vegan even.

In any life choice I don't force it on to others. It's rude and ignorant. I eat everything and anything but cook vegetarian a lot. I stopped saying if bits were or not as my.brother would moan. Now he eats and doesn't realise. I think some people who be and moan for the sake of it. Which is obviously annoying. Your choice, your views, accept and be proud inwardly, discuss outwardly if asked etc but don't koan and whine. #bigfatlinky Martyn Kitney https://www.blogger.com/profile/07564829931381366013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039577309224532465.post-56483315573431683872015-06-24T04:36:51.728-07:002015-06-24T04:36:51.728-07:00If it's a genuine health risk and not a choice...If it's a genuine health risk and not a choice then I can understand it, I still think its a good idea to give your host a heads up though (especially if it is an extreme allergy where nothing used to make the food can come into contact with say nuts).
