I do avoid gluten due to a hypersensitive nerve reaction I get on my face, among things. A type of thing other people would not like very much. Imagine a spider with a feather running across your face for hours and hours on end...the itching not subsiding... Not fun. Sanity, testing, even. <br />Weight was another issue for me, I couldn't go on looking like a whale forever. Gluten free has to be paired with reduced carb to work or you will gain weight on it. That's why people say it's a "fad".<br />I just love it when people try to eat a gluten thing in front of me as if it torments me so.I have literally had people try to stuff their face with a cookie or twinkie in the most disgusting way possible or something as if that act of slobbery really affects me or if I crave that gross crap.<br />I'm like...really? Okay. Might want to make less animal noises there....ya got something on your chin...ehhh well, Enjoy it. <br />I mean, what ever happened to live and let live?<br />I try to never hassle waitstaff, I just order plain salads with oil, plain veggies and steaks at places. The only thing I tell them is no croutons or bread items on the dishes. I get regular things for my friends when they come over or want something. I just don't get why people have to make fun of others.<br />:(BBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-53742682732707182892010-09-28T17:44:08.883-04:002010-09-28T17:44:08.883-04:00I don't think the point was to hate on vegans....I don't think the point was to hate on vegans. I think it was just to say don't be a cunt about everything in the world, mainly restaurants not bieng prepared to make and bend everything to accomodate your vegan lifestyle. I personally have waited on some very nice and sane vegans. If you come in with a super overly zealous vegan chip on your shoulder then we reserve the right to think your an asshole and talk about it.LRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762855283915387661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-86557477372893623062010-09-12T00:39:44.586-04:002010-09-12T00:39:44.586-04:00Bitchy Waiter - I love your blog and laugh at it a...Bitchy Waiter - I love your blog and laugh at it all the time. It's a great outlet for a fellow server. But for the record I'm certainly far from P.C. and I find this post a bit offensive (admittedly, the comments are more annoying than the actual post).<br /><br />I've been a vegetarian for over 4 years, and while I was one of those vocal assholes for 6 months (I was also only 21 years of age) I got over it pretty quick. I realized it was much more effective to allow my friends to approach me if they had questions as to why I had chosen to be vegan (and now, just vegetarian ... technically). And I could really care less about other peoples dietary choices at this point. I'm pretty sure nobody would accuse me of being a holier than thou asshole. As it happens, a percentage of my friends are vegetarian too (although a majority of my friends are carnivorous)...and I don't think any of them are arrogant or rude about their choices and they don't complain to their servers because of their lack of choices because they understand the idea of "voting with your dollar".<br />I understand wanting to lump everyone into one group because you've had a couple bad experiences but you're a smart person...you know things just don't work that way.<br />And I can't really see how not wanting to eat meat or cheese could be THAT confusing. <br /><br />I've waited tables at my restaurant for almost 3 years. I can't recall a single time I've had a holier than thou vegan come in. <br /><br />I can say, however, that I've seen much more shoulder patting and condescension in this post and in the comments than I've seen from a vegan in a long time. Enough that I felt compelled to leave my lurker bubble long enough to tell you all that your blustery posts come off as very immature and not very well thought out.<br /><br />It's disappointing. <br /><br />And a bit ironic that you're all talking about how awful and mean all of us hairy armpit lovin hippie leaf eaters are while praising your own dietary choices as if they are better. Are your clothing choices better too? (I don't own a single tie dye shirt and I use my razor regularly, btw.) I suppose your attitudes are better as well?<br /><br />Oh, and I don't have a blogger account but for the sake of avoiding the "you're anonymous therefore your argument is invalid!" accusation from all you commenters my name is Monica and my email is hearmonicaroar@yahoo.com <br />Feel free to email me. I'd be happy to provide references or answers as to why I, personally, find a vegetarian diet to be my preferable way of living. Because you know... there might actually be a reason why there are a considerable number of people in our society that choose to stop eating meat. Or, if you just want to spam my inbox so you can make yourself feel even better about eating meat, feel free. <br /><br />Bitchy Waiter - Please quit thoughtlessly stereotyping groups of people and consider just sticking to individuals and incidents... it's much more interesting and original. It's your blog, do what you want, but if your point is to keep people reading your blog making fun of/condescending to them isn't always the way to do it.Monicahttp://hearmonicaroar@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-49721013444005284442010-09-05T18:56:28.021-04:002010-09-05T18:56:28.021-04:00--Tough titty said the kitty, but the milk's s...--Tough titty said the kitty, but the milk's still good -that was so cute.

She won't even wear SILK to save silkworms. Seriously. Being in the environmental field for manufacturing, I asked her how she felt about the amount of volatile organic compounds created and toxic chemicals used to manufacture the synthetic fabrics she insisted on wearing, and what her opinion was of the pollution and air emissions each yard of fabric was responsible for. She stood there and just stared at me for a minute, and then walked away. She hasn't spoken to me since.Miranda Mayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576310184990799688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-89490337109021916462010-08-30T15:46:13.297-04:002010-08-30T15:46:13.297-04:00What I don't get is the self-righteous indigna...What I don't get is the self-righteous indignation that seems to go hand in hand with vege/veganism. What the hell makes people think that their dietary choices entitle them to be outraged when the rest of the world doesn't fall all over themselves trying to make it easier for them to follow their strict guidelines? Some of my favorite people have chosen vegetarianism or veganism, and I always have a freezer full of veggie burgers in case one of them happens to drop by, but I will not eat one of those shart-inducing, smelly little wheat discs, not even if you put a gun to my head and said "Chew, bitch, chew!"

So maybe certain things could be done like having a meat dish without the meat or with a substitute, or even with menus where there is an option, like a stir-fry with tofu or chicken.<br /><br />If we're talking a steak restaurant or something though, maybe the vegetarians should steer clear :PDecuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156951504523003131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-9306622266858958352010-08-26T16:23:29.608-04:002010-08-26T16:23:29.608-04:00Wow.

So she finally decided on a caesar salad, and I happily brought it to her. I made sure to wait until she had almost eaten it all and said (in a sweet and innocent tone), "Oh, how is your salad? Aren't caesar salads great? It's hard to believe a dressing made from sardines can taste so good!"<br />Bwahahaahahahaha!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-84410503750717348862010-08-22T08:53:36.672-04:002010-08-22T08:53:36.672-04:00Veal, Yum Yum.

I have never tried to "convert" anyone, I don't miss meat, I would wear leather Doc Martens, because they're the shit!, and if your restaurant doesn't have anything I can eat I'll just walk out or order a plain damn salad and only tip 10%.
