Could you fall in love with a meat-eater or vegetarian? Which ever category you fall into, would you be able to date or marry someone from the other?
I don't know if it would be an issue for me, although my boyfriend jumped right on the vegetarian bandwagon when I did. Food is definitely a get-together event, but would you let it cost you your love life?
Tons of people have different dietary preferences, allergies, fad-diets they may be on, etc. It truly depends on how strongly your beliefs are, food can be a major issue if you make it a major issue.
The New York Times featured a article on this topic, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/dining/13incompatible.html?_r=1&ex=1360731600&en=e85604a49214fa61&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&oref=slogin
Even if in your relationship you compromise and understand each other, it can be entirely different when family and friends get involved. Trust me, you don't want his mother yelling at you on Thanksgiving for "converting her son from eating her famous turkey dinner."
Love is love, and you never know if your missing out on someone just due to petty differences.
