Then why did you write this: "To see someone eating that and getting
sick while eating it is just not something pleasant to me." I'm pretty
sure English isn't your second language.

"Other occasions" suggests it has happened before. So why bother going
out to eat with him? Surely it's not for the sparkling conversation as
you watched him over eat.

Indeed, Sheldon! Heck, even the "club" offers menu options for people
who have specific dietary needs. I would expect a diabetic to know what
they should or shouldn't be eating. The club offers gluten free meals,
even though I doubt there are that many celiac sufferers who live here.
It is not the purveyor's responsibility to cater to every possible
health issue on the planet. She seems to have most of them. It's
really more about she doesn't *like* this or she doesn't *want* that.
In another thread she mentioned using up the last of some bean dip she
really likes. The obvious solution would be to buy (or make) more of
it. Doh!
