Are they? I've had to work with one feast cook, one other person in a
potluck, and two royalty on low-carb diets, and frankly the feast cook
produced a feast that left most people hungry, the royalty were more
difficult than even usual, and the potluck person was, ahem, demanding.

While I don't have a problem with accomondating vegetarians or people with
allergies, I don't see why I should be made to go hungry because other
people are on a weight-reduction diet and desire to be catered to.
