Courtesy versus Religion.

[Cataholic]

Dietary restrictions for health reasons are more important than religious/lifestyle choices.

Ah, the King has spoken. For me, my choices are just as important as someone else's....no matter their origin.

Veganism is a choice-not a religion. I have had to put up with people who don't drink milk, wear leather and then procede to yak about how I am wrecking my health. 80 percent of the time, Veggies are rude ...
I live in the capital of vegans......I have seen this time and time again.

I get incensed with I hear a veggie bugging a server about ordering.

"Is the milk organic?" what about the tomatoes?" "I only eat free range cabbage!" "what kind of oil do you use?" 'Are the napkins made out of hemp?"
" I only drink spring water......"

Richard, a vegatarian lifestyle, in all of its different 'grades' or 'levels' usually rotates around the origin of the food, not whether it is organic, whether one wears leather, or if napkins are made out of hemp. So, I question some of your conclusions. While I do drink organic milk, and buy some organic veggies, I don't care about hemp products at all. I don't know other vegatarians that are 'rude' anymore than I know of any one group that is rude.

I can only conclude you know, perhaps, the most rudest people I have ever heard of.

Another woman in my office would refuse to partake in our pot luck meals...

Why? she didn't like to eat food that was "picked thru by people before her".

So we had to set up the vittles and wait for her so we could eat....We had to wait for her to "pick thru" the food before we could eat......sometimes we had to postphone our lunches 40 minutes to accomodate this AH.

She was a MORON!

From my perspective, the ONLY one with a problem in this scenario is the person/people that waited, postponing lunches for 40 minutes. To think that one single person had a group of people so well trained is remarkable. I don't know of such people. Must be the one benefit of living in boring ole Ohio.
