RE: Vegan, vegetarian and beyond. Is there a need for all the labels?
Well said Yasmine! Even though Becca is lactose intolerant, she has other requirements of what she likes to eat and it's ever changing. That's why we say when searching for products or if someone has made something for us: "Is it Becca-friendly?". Yet, we don't like putting pressure on people, so we work around what has been served when eating at friend's house. We don't want to be the difficult ones.
Just do what feels right as it's your body in the end, it's your label: Yasmine.
Totally agree with you. I end up eating around everything too as I don't like to be labelled as the fussy one in the group. Glad to hear you're in a similar boat, Becca!
To avoid awkward situations, what Becca loves to do and especially in the summer is a good old-fashion picnic or pot luck lunch. She brings what she can have to the picnic or gathering and ensures she makes more for others to try. If she can't have any food from the other people then at least there is enough for her. Yet, she can't do pot luck lunches every day 😂
Haha yes! I love picnics for the same reason. Great point there, guys!
