How idiotic! People with food allergies can DIE if they eat the offending product. It doesn't mean you are obsessed if you don't want to drop dead. Vegans shouldn't be labeled that either. Any quack can publish a medical paper and meat eaters develop eating disorders too. I love how the healthy eater is labeled a nut. Life isn't all about stuffing your face.

No, sure I'm a vegan that you might guess from my nick but it hasn't taken over my life, the the time I spend avoiding animal ingredients can't in no way be compared to the time and energy spent on avoiding food when I had an active eating disorder and starved myself. I have a much healthier relationship to food these days.
