Most people I know don't give a damn. People with restricted diets are still a burden
in some groups because they limit the options of a group as a whole. This is: if you
are at a party and an attendant is vegan, the fact there is a vegan means you need to
plan in advance so there is vegan food at the party. It is not an issue so bad as to
scream bloody murder but it is inconvenient as heck, specially if you don't know in
advance.

Problems start when people with restricted diets start pushing on third parties so
everybody has a restricted diet. Like that muslim family that sued a school because
somebody gave a talk about Guijuelo's ham processing. Then you have the pletora of
political forces trying to engineer society into eating lab processed food instead of
lambs grown on a pasture using force if necessary.

I don't think people following restricted diets are troublesome because they follow a
restricted diet. The problem seems to be a percentage of this people who are
troublesome for other reasons, and the restricted diet is just the symthom of the
underlying issues which plage this people. Much like some PACMA vegan types deserve a
beating not for being vegan, but because they would take your pets and livehood if you
let them.
