[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's one meal. People act like not eating at one meal is the end of the world. Or not eating exactly what they want. Consider it a fast and offer up to Buddha, Jessus, sky spirit, whatever.

For the people going for a week-- it's a great chance to take your hosts out as a treat. [/quote]

I’m fine not eating the meal or taking just a couple bites.  But it’s the rude comments…[/quote]

Yeah, I know. And it's a good reminder on here even to the most well-meaning not to "push" food or drink. [/quote]

If you have food issues, stop eating with people. Do other things together that don't involve food.[/quote]

I agree it is really annoying. Or people with big restrictions who don't say so beforehand. I hate it because it means I go through a lot of effort cooking and then people don't eat. OP should actually say she's raw vegan or whatever suits her best. It's helpful for me as a hostess to know what people like, way better than seeing someone not eat and feeling like I tried to please and it wasn't even worth it.[/quote]
