[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything taken to an extreme is a problem.  Veganism is an extreme life-style choice.  The people who are vegan have established an extreme response to something going on in their lives.  It is a mentally and physically unhealthy coping mechanism.

Instead of spending so much time trying to defend your lifestyle choice, you should be investigating why you are making that choice and what you can do to fix the why.  Your choice may be related to anxiety, it could be an OCD, it could be something else.  Work with a therapist to heal your other issues, and you will find that using food control won't be necessary any more.[/quote]

It is quite OCD and anxious to spend so much effort trying to cancel out other people's life choices, and to only value in others what you yourself think and feel is worthwhile. That must be exhausting. You would free up a lot of energy if you learned to accept that the world is made up of a huge variety of people, and many of them value things that you don't -- and that's okay. They don't value what you value, either, and they're probably not spending their time fuming about your choices.[/quote]

You could say the same thing to the preachy vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/whatever crowd.  Eat whatever you want, just don’t talk about it, preach about it, or assume people will accommodate you. Barring serious medical issues, adults should be able to politely find something to eat at any table. [/quote]
