[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A former Vegan now vegetarian; I used to get the looks whenever I said I was vegan, some people took it well some others kind of told me that I didn’t know what I was missing. I married a wonderful man that loves his meats and I happily cook them for him since I LOVE cooking. He now eats a well balanced diet that includes veggies and clean/lean protein. His family although…old’ good folks will never understand that I do t like meat. My mother-in-law to this day offers me bacon ..I keep reminding her that I don’t eat meat(been telling her this the past 10 years.) I hardly ever accept invitations to eat at friends house not just because I’m vegetarian, but also because I have food sensitivities and a GI issue (and I admit, I’m a picky eater.) Nevertheless, if I have a gathering I bring a homemade dish that both my husband and I can eat, and another for folks that don’t have any food intolerance issues. Problem solve. I simply careless what people think about my ‘uniqueness’ diet as some of them call it. [/quote]

[b]Vegan, vegetarian, “food sensitivities,” “a GI issue,” an admitted picky eater—in other words, you have disordered eating habits and a weird relationship with food. Proving the poin[/b]t.[/quote]

You are the one with a disordered relationship to food -- everyone else MUST eat the way you do or they have an eating disorder.

Why does anyone care what others eat? I'm sure the host who hates people who are GF or DF would hate it even more if they at what was offered them and then farted throughout the rest of the dinner party, or disappeared for 30 minutes into the bathroom off the dining room. That would certainly be a memorable evening for all involved.

I have no dietary restrictions and I don't hold it against anyone what they eat or what effect their food has on their bowels. I try to accommodate others when planning what to make.

To insist that everyone's body is just like one's own is truly "disordered" -- i.e., "if I don't fart from eating gluten then gluten sensitivity must be a hoax" -- and I'm sure this way of looking at others colors every single relationship these "diet restriction" haters have, in myriad ways. Of course, they don't see that.[/quote]

Yes it's very controlling behavior. All the vegan bashing on this thread from folks who clearly don't self-reflect. [/quote]
