And this I agreed with, although I can see a case to
be made for requiring a restaurant to disclose ingredient
lists to customers who request them to allow the customer
to make a rational decision as to whether or not he
wishes to patronize that establishment.
But then you went on to make a gratuitous slap at those
who really do have food allergies, implying that they
are (a) PC, (b) weak, (c) liberal, (d) faking, and (e)
trying to get laid.
Now I personally do fit into some of those categories,
but they really seem to have nothing to do with how I
react to certain foods. And I see no reason to make the
implications you were making as they in no way work to
advance your point. Guess you were just trying to get
laid.
