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.

And I do follow them. Sushi served at restaurant buffets invariably consist of minute portions of fish, wrapped in large portions of rice.That is correct

Perhaps you should refrain from buffets altogether, or simply select those items on the buffet line that completely conform to your special diet needs.So now I should be restricted from eating where I like, did n't the civil rights act prohibit laws like you want to make?

Most restaurants that offer buffets also offer menu selections for people who, for whatever reason, choose not to partake of the buffet.But i choose to partake of the buffet. Your special dietal needs do not exempt you from ordinary polite public conduct.And your liberal views don't mean that I answer to you. I never said or implied that I or an other diabetic is exempt, but we D@MN well should not be prohibited from enjoying a good meal from time to time where and when we choose to.

I have never been accused of holding “liberal” views.

I often choose to pay for meals offered by public businesses.
When I can't afford to eat out, I cook my own meals at my own home.
If a restaurant does not offer the ambiance, or the type of food I want, I do not go there for a meal.
I am not a diabetic.
I am a person who can't eat certain vegetables anymore.
Cucumbers and broccoli now make me painfully ill, sfter consumption.
Cucumbers, in any form, cause me a level of indigestion I must seriously strive to avoid.
Most restaurants are more than willing to cater to my menu choices.
Are you seriously claiming they don't cater to yours?

And to specifically address the last part of your “argument”

“I never said or implied that I or an other diabetic is exempt, but we D@MN well should not be prohibited from enjoying a good meal from time to time where and when we choose to.”

You can D@MN well follow the rules at a public business, just like the vast majority of everyone else in our society, or you can admit that you are no different than a common thief, who from time to time, enjoys stealing from others when and where they choose to.
I submit that you are the liberal.
You only follow rules that you perceive of particular benefit to yourself, and all other rules are to be considered “unfair” because you are so special.
