Practice eating alternatively when you're out and about

Are you vegan curious?

Want to know what paleo pizza is really like?

Have you ever tried to order only gluten free from a menu?

Menus these days are proud to point out their specialized options.

You don't have to figure out what gluten free covers (exactly). Just try it and see. And then try it again somewhere else and see what you think that time. 

And...if you keep liking these things you try, I bet you'll get curious and start reading into it.

Or asking friends.

You'll start some conversations with strangers.

Maybe read a book or two.

Worst case, you'll have new fodder for happy hour.
