Nope. If I'm cooking for an SO who eats a more restricted diet than I do, I will certainly cook a meal that both of us can and will eat together. The same is true if it's a friend and not an SO, too. If we go out to eat, I will eat what I like. If the person is uncomfortable enough around my typical eating habits to desire me to change them, it's unlikely we'll become close enough to eat together very often. If you're a vegetarian and think that my eating meat makes me a bad person, well, go have your dinner with someone who ISN'T a bad person. Even if I eat a vegetarian meal instead, I'm still a meat-eater. But if I am feeding you, you can be sure I'll be feeding something that fits your dietary requirements. If I know that the presence of a certain food impinges on a person, though (if the smell of bacon or seafood or Indian food or whatever makes them nauseous, or something), I won't eat it. But I won't pretend to be something I'm not to assuage someone's morals in a hypocritical fashion. Hospitality is something altogether different. If I lived with a vegetarian, I'd keep our home vegetarian, but I would still have meat when we went out to eat. Probably MORE than I do now!
