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 …

I didn't realize, thanks for linking the article. Attitudes vary soooo much, I never know what to expect any more.

Oh but here, too. And some still respond with "then just don't eat out and always bring your own food" when discussing allergies

Oh, wow. Hmmm am I surprised British people are more compassionate than this? I think no, but in the grand scheme of things Cypriots are the best for allergies and intolerances. Even my cousin's gran took onions out of her traditional dishes for me.

(I don't have useful comments but hugs at having to eat without onions).

Hahah. It's OK. Malabsorption, being able to wear clothes, etc., is worth avoiding. I can eat the green part of spring onions anyway.
