Mike, your friend ain't.
I eat regularly with friends who know of my special needs. When I
return food because it was unnecessarily spritzed with fat, I don't make
a big deal of it anymore, I just ask for my bill for the cup of decaf
coffee.
Then that's all I have.
SADistic eaters don't realize OR CARE that they may or may not be
killing themselves with their mouths. We do.
Recently afer being assured that the vegetables were only steamed I took
one bite, tasted the fat, and told the wait person to remove it and
either bring me something that was fat-free or bring me the bill for the
coffee.
They think that steamed means steamed and butter added!
It's not worth getting upset about. I always carry fruit in the truck
(I have a pickup truck so I can lift my Jazzy). I sit with friends,
then eat in the truck.
It's a shame that it's almost impossible to eat in a fatatorium and not
be able to get a true NON-FAT vegetable plate.
