Default Should Vegetarians get special privileges?

I was talking to my younger sister to find that one of her vegetarian friends has a lunch pass at her school, which is a privilege only given to upper class men with an average GPA.

I come to find the reason she has one is because she is classified under special needs for being a vegetarian. I call bull shit on that, she chooses not to eat meat, her parents eat meat, it is her choice, should this kind of thing be considered special needs, something you do as a choice?








I often don't have a rhyme or reason, only a rhythm.

I don't see the problem with tolerating others' choices... Am I the only one?

No there is tolerance here, but if I were not a vegetarian in the same school, the same grade I would not get a lunch pass like she does, see my point?

So, it simply bugs you that she's tolerated, because she gets better food.
In my class there are 2 vegetarians, and nobody has problem with the fact that they get the better food...

No, I don't care if she gets "better food" I don't even eat lunch during school hours. What bothers me is that the other kids in her class, don't get to go out to lunch to eat, while she gets to leave campus. There are salads on campus, why should she get to leave to get food?

Aah, well - in this case, I don't know. But, still, it would not bother me (btw, we can't go out at any time during lessons).

It does bother me though, should she truly be in a special needs category if it is a choice, like if I choose to wear only thick jackets, should the air conditioner be turned on in a room so I don't get heat stroke, even though it makes others uncomfortable.

Exactly, she didn't earn that lunch pass, so why does she get one.
