In Response To: Re: happy Easter wishes ()

I do the same thing when someone offers me something I don't wish to eat.
"It looks lovely, and I'm sure it is delicious, but eating X makes me depressed later." or doesn't agree with me etc. But I make sure to start off with positive things about the meal, about what is being offered etc.
