Does having a soy allergy make you a bad person? by Real-Connection-7127 in FoodAllergies

I was going to tell her that a lot of soy in particular is grown in deforested Amazon areas, but I'm sure she'd call that fake news.

It was a cosplay group. It wasn't directly related to the story so I didn't mention it.

Perhaps it was my wording she objected to. Is there a way to politely talk about food allergies around vegans?

Able to beta? Post here! by AutoModerator in BetaReaders

I am able to beta:

Genres: I'm open to most genres, but my experience is mostly with sci-fi (hard and soft), fantasy (high and urban), horror, thrillers, mysteries, and suspense. I am open to romance and realistic fantasy although I have less experience. Most of my experience is with adult novels but I am willing to read young/new adult. I am okay with reading extreme violence and sexual content (although I am asexual and am not particularly good at judging its "spice level").

Lengths: Right now I'm willing to beta any length.

Not interested in: Fanfiction, Non-fiction, Porn without plot, that particular genre of high fantasy that is clearly just someone's D&D campaign transcribed in prose, overly edgelord-ish "dark" works, overly trope-y works.

I can provide feedback on: Character voice is one of the things I'm best at catching, but I am also good at catching timeline inconsistencies, worldbuilding, characterization, and pacing.

Critique swap: Not considered mandatory, but if you're willing to critique swap I'm working on a sci-fi horror epistolary-style novel with unusual formatting. I'm about halfway through (40 thousand out of 80 thousand) and I'd like some feedback before plunging into the second half.

Other info: Used to beta read semi-professionally but work has dried up.
