Vegetarian, Vegan and Animal Rights

I have a friend that has identified a glucose intolerance. Feels much better now that he understands. He does continue to try to find those "substitutes" for old favorites.

The "socially speaking" part is mere that food is a part of socializing and when the vast majority of people use non-vegan ingredients, it is hard to maintain the diet. It doesn't really have anything to do with "shaming", it's just that an awful lot of restaurants won't necessarily be able to support it. And going to a friends home is even harder if they are aware of the restrictions.
