Yup, this is my brother Simmah. I love him. He is kind, gentle, outrageously funny, selfless, extraordinarily smart, talented and beautiful, he knows everything about just about everything and above all is the most supportive person I know. He is allergic to milk, eggs, seafood and is gluten intolerant. He also avoids consuming any and all animal products. Essentially, he’s vegan not for any political reason but because his body fights against the machine.  If he accidentally eats something that has any of the above ingredients it does him significant damage. Eating out is a risk. Eating in general has to be scrutinized and ingredients triple checked before consumption. This is not a lifestyle choice this is his reality. Try taking a different approach to cooking and eating. Try a gluten free dish. Experiment with a vegan dish. You'll find that it's dead easy to do and people in your life that have dietary concerns will love you for it.
