The Phantom Intolerance
Fake a mild sensitivity to shut down food pushers.
People argue with 'diets.' They don't argue with 'medical issues.' If you're offered cake, saying 'I'm avoiding gluten simply to see if it helps my migraines' works 10x better than 'I'm watching my weight.'
Execution Tips
- ⊕Pick a vague ailment like 'inflammation' or 'migraines'.
- ⊕Be consistent within the same social group.
- ⊕Don't claim a severe allergy (anaphylaxis) as that creates restaurant panic.
Cautions
- ⊗Use this for peer pressure, not to make waitstaff lives hell.
