Food issues are a thing. People eat with a purpose which can be
ideological, health based, weight loss related or simply trendy. One can be
vegan for heart health reasons, environmental concerns or because of a
philosophical belief that it is wrong to eat animals. There are conscientious
omnivores, pescatarians, fruitarians, an entire panoply of diets from Zone to Paleo
and of course endless food allergies real and imagined.
Planning menus for organizational events
is just as challenging as hosting a dinner party at home where everyone
attending has very particular food issues. As a toddler my son would only eat
food that was green, my friend won't eat beige food, another is kosher and so
on and so forth.
I thought that I dealt with it all until a
guest pronounced himself a flexitarian!
In case you are wondering - a flexitarian is a vegetarian who sometimes eats
meat. Is that even a thing? Is it different than a carnivore who sometimes eats
vegetables or someone on the wagon who occasionally drinks? What is the purpose
of this? How is it not just a varied and balanced diet?
I thought I had seen it all, but frankly,
this takes the cake - gluten free of course.
Loved your article!
