I cannot cope with a grown adult who cannot stomach anything but chicken fingers and fries.
And being vegetarian or vegan or gluten-free is no excuse for being afraid of ethnic food or seasoning!

Literally was thinking of answering that. Sharing food is one of the things I like to do the most, you can not like some things but not even be willing to try? This pisses me off

@NANABO there is something so sweet and special about trying things because someone you care about wants to share it! picky eaters miss out on all of this!!!

A lament on eggs

Why do companies add milk & eggs to things that don't need it!? They've changed the recipe of my favorite salad dressing to include egg protein (for why idk) so now I've had to buy the fat free version. I use this dressing to make my favorite comfort/safe food. I'm so worried that the fat free recipe will not taste the same or that they'll add egg to that one too. It sounds dramatic but my neurodivergent brain is not coping well with the idea of never being able to have this meal again. Why tf does Italian dressing need egg in it anyways????
Being vegan in a non-vegan world is so frustrating.

VEGETARIAN

I stopped eating meat 8 years ago. I don’t tell people this, but when it comes up and people ask why I decided to be vegetarian, I say because I love animals and I don’t want to eat them. People get defensive as if I am saying “you obviously hate animals and I am so much better than you because you eat them and I don’t”… The stereotype of especially vegans being obnoxious about their diet and lifestyle is so funny because while I understand some definitely can be, it’s always people who eat meat that can’t help but to criticize and poke fun at me the second I answer their vegetarian related question. I have learned to just not talk about it. Not that I even think about it, it’s just another part of my life that I am accustomed to. I could never kill an animal because I love them and I could never eat one because I don’t want to. That’s it. I don’t care what you do.
