I don't eat beans, soy, peanuts, and most* derivatives of. Without going into details, let's say that my bowels doesn't handle them well.
*e.g. soy sauce and oil are OK, but tofu makes my body scream murder.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I don't eat sugar. Well, I guess it's almost impossible to avoid all sugar completely but I don't eat sweets, pastries, jam or any kinds of food with high sugar content. I don't add sugar to any food I make and I always go for the product options with no added sugar if available.
Once you wean yourself off sugar it's actually not that hard to stay away from it, it's funny how that works. I have such low sugar tolerance now that eating candy makes me basically feel ill.
I'm with you on this. I even switched my SNACKING away from sugary anything.

Vegan. Cause I think its wrong to harm and kill animals just for taste if we have the possibility to eat plant based. Beside that it's cheaper, healthier and a lot better for the environment.
What you said, though in my european country it's not necessarily cheaper. In fact, some vegan foods are crazy expensive. As an aside (not food); i used to buy non-leather shoes pretty cheaply. Then marketing worldwide figured out to call them 'vegan shoes' and bam, expensive shoes...
If you're specifically getting specifically "vegan" products like fake meat or the like it can get expensive, but staples like rice and beans are cheap, vegan, and nutritious.

I don't like bones and cartilage. Only meat I eat is ground.
As a lactose intolerant person, I'd have to say it isn't too hard.
Good quality butter, cheese and yogurt are still in the menu. For me at least, anything were the lactose is broken down sufficiently.
Currently im doing 6 weeks of keto. I have picked up my training again and also picked up my fight training. So in order to get that fighter body im on a keto diet.
Also gave me a new appreciation of meat and it supports my local Butcher ^^ I find that it also helps alot with my ADHD and focus :D

I'm somewhat sensitive to lactose. I can take small amounts, like, say, a small ice cream bar twice or thrice a week, but past that ... things go very wrong.
Blood products taste fine to me (blood sausage, black pudding, blood "tofu", etc.) but my stomach rebels when it hits.
I won't touch raw flesh: not steak tartare, not raw fish in sushi, nothing. This is just me hating the taste and texture.
Oh, and rum. Love the taste. Does to me what blood does.
Crikey there's blood tofu? I've never heard of it!
Well it's not really tofu of course. But it's given the name 鸭血豆腐 (duck blood bean curd) or just 血腐 (blood curd) because, well, it looks and has the vague texture of tofu. (Cheaper alternatives are made with pig or cow blood, but the real thing is duck blood.)

I'm veggie because it's so much healthier, cheaper and kind to animals. It's not hard to stick to, and I've no regrets
