[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any reason to include it, [b]if you don't consider it fundamental to your personal identity and need a partner who shares your dietary choices.[/b]

I feel like it's a myth of online dating that you need to put every single thing about yourself - esp stuff that could turn someone else off - on your profile. No need to mention that you like Big Bang Theory, either, or that you don't have a passport. That's all stuff that someone can find out after getting to know you a little, so it's not the only info they are going on.

Back when I was single, I did mention being vegetarian on my profile - but that's because it *is* fundamental to my self-identity, and I wanted to be with someone who shared that or at least who was open to it. (Course I ended up marrying a guy who periodically does Atkins, eating only meat - so there you go.)[/quote]

It is fundamental to your personality and lifestyle if you eat such a restricted diet.  [/quote]

I agree. It requires a partner who is willing to accept the challenges of being with someone with significant restrictions and, therefore, should be included in your profile.  I wouldn't date a vegan. [/quote]

Make sure that's in YOUR profile, then.

It's really much easier if you say who you won't date than if you require all prospective partners to list every part of their lives that might end up being a problem, just in case.[/quote]
