Do you have any Dietary Restrictions? (lemmygrad.ml)

I was thinking to myself earlier that many people have dietary restrictions of SOME sort. Whether that be self-imposed or pre-determined. Plenty of people have allergies or take medications that don’t allow them to have certain foods, Grapefruit is (or was idk) not good for people on Blood Pressure medication I hear firsthand. Then there’s the religious exemptions, like avoiding Pork or alcohol or Beef. Then there’s also the ideological exemptions; Vegetarianism, Pescatarianism, Veganism, I could go on. TL;DR: Do you have a dietary restriction and if so, why?

I'm vegan and have been for well more than a year now. I don't see myself backtracking on it. I went vegan obviously for animal rights reasons but there were also other concerns which led to me making the step, such as environmentalism (the animal farming industries being one of the biggest causes of climate change, land usage etc) and even humanitarianism (these industries frequently exploit immigrants and have been caught using child labour, they also have one of the highest PTSD rates of any industry).
