Your culinary soapbox

Many of us make decisions about food based on health concerns, but sometimes our decisions are purely philosophical ones. If you have a specific food or group of foods that you don't eat for moral, religious, political, or other philosophical reasons, how strict are you in that prohibition? Have you capitulated and eaten it at a family dinner simply to keep the peace, or at a business lunch to keep from having a potentially awkward conversation with a client or your boss?

This week's theme is what you eat.
