Yes, eating out is a pain in the patootie, I can definitely attest to that! Everyone keeps trying to help, like you say, but it's annoying, because they don't try to help SAD eaters, only rawwies. Whenever I go out, everyone does the same thing - point to the "vegetarian platter"! They just don't get the raw part at all. I just order a big fabulous salad and pick off all of the stuff I don't want. There's really nothing to eat execept salad, unless you have a chef who's willing to cut up some fresh veggies for you. My advice - smuggle your own fruit and dehydrated stuff in and boldly eat it ;)
