Perhaps you would rather that people like me don't eat out at all, or perhaps we should wear a 'D" on an armband so that we can be identified and restaurants can decide if they want to serve my kind.
Are you willing to do the same for Epileptics or people with Tourettes syndrome?
“Perhaps you would rather that people like me don’t eat out at all, or perhaps we should wear a ‘D” on an armband so that we can be identified and restaurants can decide if they want to serve my kind.”
A ‘V’ might be better than a D.
As a diabetic who can’t eat rice why would you or this man go to an ‘all you can eat’ sushi bar ?
I managed to teach my child that “all you can eat buffets” have a few simple rules of expected conduct:
1.If you don't know you will eat it, don't put more than a small spoon full to taste on your plate.
2.You can always go back for more, but it is rude and unacceptable to waste food by taking more from a buffet than you will eat.
3.You are a thief if you attempt to take any food you did not consume at the restaurant home with you, from a buffet.
I know many people who are diabetics.
They are just as capable of polite consumption at “all you can eat buffets” as everyone else.
Your particular critical need to pay very strict attention to your food intake does not exempt you from any of the above rules of polite consumption.
Sushi served at restaurant buffets invariably consist of minute portions of fish, wrapped in large portions of rice.
Perhaps you should refrain from buffets altogether, or simply select those items on the buffet line that completely conform to your special diet needs. Most restaurants that offer buffets also offer menu selections for people who, for whatever reason, choose not to partake of the buffet. Your special dietal needs do not exempt you from ordinary polite public conduct.

I have a dietetic restriction, too. No wheat gluten. No barley. No malt. No rye. No kamut. That's why I'd never go to an all-you-can-eat bread place and complain about the fact that bread has wheat in it. Bread is made from wheat.
Sushi, by definition, is rice with vinegar in it. That's all sushi means. Not fish, not the little dodads on top. Not the nori (seaweed). Just rice. Sushi is rice with vinegar.
What, exactly, do you think would be fair, in light of the fact that sushi is just rice? Should they change the definition just for you?
I don't expect them to change anything for me. If I can't eat in a restaurant, tough to be me. The world owes me nothing insofar as special accommodations to make me somehow feel better about the fact that I have a disease that keeps me from eating things everyone else eats.
As should be perfectly obvious, others having made the point, sushi is a prepared food consisting of rice, vinegar and other ingredients. There are numerous types of sushi that do not even have fish on them.
To think that you can go to an all you can eat sushi restaurant and eat the goodie-goodie stuff and ignore the rice is ludicrous.
No one stops you from eating sashimi, but as I'm sure you must realize, the fish costs a lot more than the rice. Therefore, an all you can eat sashimi deal is unprofitable to the restaurant. They make their profit on the average amount of fish/rice mix consumed in an all you can eat deal.
Are you saying that because of your diabetic handicap, that restaurant has to serve you a much more expensive all you can eat meal?
