Why do Vegans think that they should get special treatment?!
My best friend's husband expects chefs to alter their recipe for his special dietary needs!. My kosher friends don't expect this kind of special treatment at social gatherings or restaurants!. Why do vegans expect special dishes at social gatherings!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am the only non meat-eating person in my group of friends!. There are many restaurants I go to where there is literally only one thing on the menu I can eat!. However, I want to be with my friends, so I get that one item!. I often have to ask for cheese to be taken off of things as simple as salad!. Occasionally, they will forget, and I will just set my salad on the side and not eat it, trying not to be difficult!. However, on more than one occasion, I have had a friend say something to the waiter, despite the fact that I said it was fine!.
It is a service industry, too!. It is their job to serve their guests!.
I don't think it is unreasonable to ask something as simple as "hold the cheese, or butter, please"!. This is no different than saying "I want my steak medium rare"!. Eating kosher is also not as difficult as eating vegan, either!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you're paying for a meal, you have the right to demand that they alter the meal for you!. It's like when you order something but hate onions!. You don't want to eat the onions, and you're paying to eat something that you'll supposedly enjoy!. It's the same deal!.
As for special treatment from friends, well, they're your friends!. I don't expect to eat at my friend's place, but if they invite me knowing my requests, if they're my friend they should be accommodating!.
As for social gatherings (such as a weddings or parties), no one expects them to alter the recipe!. What we demand is knowledge of what is there so that we may abstain, eat what we can, and eat at home if we're still hungry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As a server in a fine dining restaurant, do you know how many people ask for special requests about their food!? I would say about 35 - 40%!. Do you know how many people have ever asked me to hold the cheese or butter!? About 75%!. And what are they ordering!? Something with meat on it anyway!. It's not just vegans who want to try to eat healthy, thank you!.
When I go out to eat, I order something that's as vegan as possible, but if I have to hold the cheese or butter, guess what!? They can just use it for someone else's dish, and it's not like they're giving me a discount for no cheese!. As a server I like to help people eat the food they want!. So quit being so nitpicky!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't!. I eat what is already safe for me to eat!.
I don't like my lifestyle to cause inconvenience for others, so I try to be subtle!.
It offends me that you generalize like that, though!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
