As a (mostly) vegan person, I can empathize with you. It's not easy, especially if you are going to a lot of social events. You should be able to enjoy eating as you choose. But whoever's in charge doesn't want you steering your boat in a different direction (away from illness).
The only thing you might try is finding clubs with people that believe in eating the same healthy foods and make friends with them.
