Nobody cares. Tell them to bring their own food to the BBQ.

I cater to real food allergies, not stupid value systems.

Correct! They will tell you. Over and over. And question the food you’re eating while they’re at it.

Before I retired, I had a new boss who was a Vegan who would stand next to my desk while I ate lunch criticizing my bologna sandwich and chips. She spent most of the day grazing out of the fridge, eating leeks and other green stuff.

Vegans rely on plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, to meet their nutritional needs.

Which will never happen because it's a nutritionally incomplete diet and you have to supplement.

Any diet that requires supplementation is nutritionally inadequate.

“bologna sandwich and chips”

...Fritos I would hope! Nothing better with a bologna sammich than Fritos

[Inyo-Mono]

Oh yeah, most of the time Lays potato chips, but sometimes Fritos corn chips!

Vegans are aliens from Alpha Lyrae.

I eat tofu . Slice it into small pieces, sauté until brown on both sides. Pile on plate and cover with Trader Joe sweet chili sauce. Without the sauce, not so good.

My friend is a vegan. Didn’t tell me, but when she first moved to the hood, I liked her and invited her over for coffee and a chat. She brought her own caffeine-free herb tea bag. Asked her whether she ate tofu. No. How do you get protein? Beans.
She’s quite attractive, walks five miles a day, sunny, rainy or snowing.

It’s like the diference between neurotic and psychotic.

Vegans are people from Vegas.

No, they're alien invaders from the star Vega (German: Wega):

After seeing this post, I had to run an errand.

On the way back, I spied a Dodge pickup parked on the left with a full window decal,

“Unapologetically VEGAN!!!”

No joke.

Vegetarians should be happy that others are eating the animals that are eating the vegetables that vegetarians eat. It means more vegetables for themselves.

BTW how can vegetarians ignore the screams of the carrots being pulled out of the ground then diced up?...
Vegetarians are animals!

Don’t even let me start on my niece who is gluten free. If she has to be, or wants to be, that’s fine.

In my experience, the ones who won't shut about about being gluten free are the ones who don't have to be.

I have a cousin with Celiac disease, and she's quite discreet about it. Just quietly lets people know, including wait staff. She knows it's her burden to bear, and doesn't want to bother others with it.

I also have a friend's wife who claims to be gluten sensitive. On more than one occasion, people have deliberately served her gluten-containing dishes without her knowledge, and wouldn't you know it: if she doesn't know it contains gluten, she magically doesn't have a reaction to it...Strange, that.

[verum ago]

Followup / just to be clear: the first time someone served her something containing gluten was truly an accident, but given her complete non-reaction (she was staying at that person’s house, so they had complete observation of her) it turned into a contest to see how much gluten she could be served without faking / imagining symptoms...

but how does one make a cake without eggs and milk?

War Cake, a.k.a. Depression Cake. I used to make it with my mom when I was a kid.

Broccoli? That’s what my food eats. That’s my food’s food, and I don’t appreciate you eating it. J.P. Sears, Meatarian.
