I have to agree with Liza on this one.  There are times when being
treated to dinner, means going to a restaurant.  And while there is a
raw foods restaurant opening soon here, I would be the only one of my
immediate group to think it's appetizing!  That's just a fact.  So we go
out other place, and my friends have enough respect for me to choose
places where **I** can have a choice of foods to eat ... even if it
means the occasional splurge of something *very* cooked.

And you know something?  By not focusing on *food* and focusing on the
companionship, there are no ill effects.  The mind and psyche can't be
ignored.
