I definitely won’t eat it. I’m just looking for a way to deal with these covnos that will make my life easier. I noticed Paul will sometimes tell restaurant workers that he has a sensitivity to some of those ingredients. People don’t question him about that. I guess I could just say that and if people are interested they would ask more. I expect most of them to not care though.

I employ the same narrative tactic.

It’s straightforward and practically unquestionable.

If they want to know why, you’ll have a solid logical answer or reason.

And you don’t have to feel like a crazy conspiracist every time a conversation about food comes up šŸ˜‚

Don't be a dick about it. Plan ahead, my default for restaurants is ceasar salad and coffee. Maybe fish. Don't make it a topic of conversation and it won't be.

If you need to say anything (you don't) then say "I can't eat X, and it has X in it" not "I don't eat X".

You don't say "I don't eat bleach". You say "I can't eat bleach".

Be a little less self-absorbed and you'll be fine.

Also, you're going to die. Don't know how often you eat out but one meal per month isn't going to affect your health. Sitting in a chair scrolling social media will. Sugar will. Stressing about interpersonal relationships will.

Make sure you're not blowing your diet out of proportion.
