Vegetarian since 1982, vegan since 2007 :-). There are lots of us here!

Oh, yes indeedy, food allergies do appear to be on the rise; but as someone stated earlier I think it's due to us all being more aware. I do have very bad reactions to certain foods - especially dairy (one of the reasons for my veganism;-) ) but in a restaurant if asked I will always say 'vegan' first, rather than…

People don't necessarily go vegetarian for purely ethical reasons. Some are allergic to certain meats, others do not like the taste- and there are those who have religious beliefs that exempt meats/fishes/ seafood etc., from their diet. There are of course those who are veggie for the obvious ethical considerations, too…

@houseofcarpen - my ASD son had the same difficulty during the first two years of mainstream senior school - not a fun time! We finally decided (the school and us and various agencies) that he should be part-time; which is what happens now. It works for him as he always has someone with him in the school lessons he does…
