[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 710096, member: 32108"] I would do the same as you in the situation you describe, but I don't agree that [USER=74042]@ElyDave[/USER] is a 'grumpy old git', (using his words), just temporarily using the wrong tactics? Might be better to have other people believe that his is the lifestyle choice, and that the veggie sister-in-law is the one who needs TLC? I am sometimes expected to eat carbs for the convenience of others and I refuse to be offended by it. It's their problem, not mine. It's empowering. It means that, like [USER=91401]@Avocado Sevenfold[/USER] 's nephew's restaurant party, it's the occasion not the food that matters, leave the food issues for discussion in the cold light of day, where you can argue your case that, for your health, you can't, and won't, go on eating the wrong things. It's possible that [USER=74042]@ElyDave[/USER]'s wife felt torn between Dave and her sister, and maybe hard-done-by herself as it was [I]her [/I]birthday, and felt she could rely on Dave to occupy the moral high ground, but poor Dave felt below par(?) and grumpy apparently. :):(;) An interesting case, Watson. :) Sorry if I've overstepped the mark, but it's great, as we can see from everyone's interest in the subject, that [USER=74042]@ElyDave[/USER] is willing to bare his soul on this. :eek: [/QUOTE]
