Exclusive: Asoka Jayaweera, a strict vegetarian, died after choking on a piece of food while attempting to ‘eat around’ the meat in the meal he was served instead of the meatless one he had requested, according to his family

    I completely think this is shitty, but if someone told me to “eat around” what I was severely allergic to, I wouldn’t eat. I would sue the fuck out of them afterwards, but I wouldn’t potentially kill myself.

      There’s no mention of him being allergic to anything.

        I was referring to me, not the article. That’s an allergy I have.

      I don’t think he was allergic to it, it says he choked on a piece of food. And if that’s the case, then he could have just as easily choked on the proper meal if he had gotten it.

      I was just referring to me, not the article. If an airline did that I would not eat that meal, but choking on it is insult to injury.
