A vegan was obnoxious, so you label anybody with special diet issues the same way? What's the medical equivalent of racism?

Based on that comment, I suspect you don't spend much time around people with food allergies. It is entirely possible that some doctor told her "You must avoid all exposure to dairy, wheat and fish" without bothering to give her any clear guidance what that actually means in the real world. I
"Most folks I know with real and serious allergies educate themselves about the risks".
This is why I think the individual in question was perhaps not a genuine allergy sufferer, but a vegan activist trying to annoy those around her.

I don't understand animosity towards the person. Real threat or not, it isn't like she told people NOT to consume the products, that she be warned so she can be away from the product.
I think it would be considered a common courtesy to do so since it isn't TOO much of trouble to let her know that you want to have the food 5-10 minutes prior so that she can use the lavatory or something like that.
No? Am I in minority for thinking this way?

Let's get back to the pointed remarks and hyperRandian egoism. That's more fun. </sarcasm>

I was just about to post the same thing. The passenger made a request that they be notified - not that other passengers refrain from eating in total. The passenger was willing to move if necessary.
I don't think waiting 10 minutes until the seat-belt sign is turned off is wholly unreasonable.
