   I was reading this thread on MeFi https://www.metafilter.com/182435/Toxic-In-Laws and man, yikes.

   There is a weird under-current of trying to stake out the line between legitimate dietary needs and one's the host is free to dismiss and oof.

   I've always thought that however it is someone arrives at their dietary restrictions, it isn't up to me to decide whether or not that's "real" 😦

      Granted I am biased since I am a vegetarian, and very often people do not respect that at all. Because they don't think my reasons for being a vegetarian are good ones.

      I'm just going to say that if someone says they don't eat X, then it's pretty fucking shitty behaviour to serve them that. Even if their only reason is that they just don't like it.
