Do you avoid dairy when eating out, or inquire the restaurant about where they buy it from?

This style of "gotcha" holier-than-thou bad-faith arguments frustrates me. One doesn't need to go from being a straight omnivore to a Level 5 vegan that doesn't eat anything with a shadow for changing a diet in large part being a good thing.

Perfect is the enemy of the good in our line of work, what makes diet any different? One should strive to do the best they can within their location, health, dietary framework and ethical choices. It's as simple as that.

The problem is that orthorexics are enacting punitive policies that make it harder to buy cheaper food that is perfectly fine to consume.
orthorexia - what a fascinating word!
