Wow! I thought I was picky, but I have a reason to be with my food
allergies. I don't expect people to cater to me though. I will often bring
my own food if I think they won't have anything suitable, or at least bring
something large to share with everyone.

I can't imagine how she gets along eating no vegetables. That's just sad.
