Surely, it's not problem-free, nothing is. There are so many potential allergens out there that it's almost hopeless to accommodate to them all (indeed, no food at all is one way to go..). But my point remains: *if* food, then vegan is the friendliest option for most poeple.

Let me just throw the words airborne allergenes into the mix though. I like the idea to have a vegan default but inform, label, and ask beforehand. Then it's not avoiding potential issues but solving the ones at hand

But again, my argument is about *if* food, then *what kind* of food. While your objections are well justified and should be addressed, they are general and apply to *any kind* of catering (meat/veg/vegan)- so not directly relevant the specific point I'm trying to make here..

But you saw thia tweet that wqs linked above, right?https://twitter.com/c_borstell/status/1086070125810180096?s=19 …

Calle Börstell @c_borstell7. Vegan variety. The original retweet was about excluding meat. I don't need meat, but can't eat soy (because cousin of peanut) and an all-vegan menu often leaves few to no things I can eat. Oat-based products are big in Scandinavia, but lagging behind elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/QksM89DgRTShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
To elaborate a bit: I think one of the points is the default assumption that meat is fine. I don't think it helps to replace it by another default assumption (vegan is fine), so I think it's crucial to do better along multiple dimensions and get rid of this my-way-is-best idea

And the point that soy, a very common diary/meat substitute, is one of the big 8 allergens directly contradicts the initial tweet ("...everyone can enjoy"). It's important to be mindful of that while also being mindful of meat-as-default not making sense:https://twitter.com/Limor_Raviv/status/1143941027620933632 …

There are foods that are super likely to cause allergies. Just because anything can be an allergen doesn't mean the distribution of probabilities is uniform. In the UK we're taking this very seriously, for example.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48752388 …

Also not just allergy factors in here. I have, as do many people (it's dramatically under diagnosed), IBS. It's really sad but it means I can't eat most vegan food without risking severe side effects like swelling so much my skin hurts and my clothes don't fit and malabsorption.

It's ironic (it's some of my favourite foods) but because of the pain I'd actually be forced to starve or just eat very very little if I was faced with anything made with this stuff: https://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/ …

I can't eat any beans, for example.
I used to be vegan. But there's no vegan protein I can eat except seitan pretty much (which I'll have today
), but that's pure gluten which is totally not inclusive to celiacs.
