There is a place for all of God's creatures--right next to the potatoes and gravy.
Yeah, like this argument. The vegan complaint is fallacious. They don't want restaurants to serve vegan as an option--they want to change everyone's diet to vegan. If a restaurant opened that catered to vegan tastes exclusively, it would be out of business in a week. Mainstream restaurants don't widely carry vegan options because it is contrary to the bottom line. There is not enough money in it to justify the time and expense to prepare it and that which is not used goes to waste which is another cost the restaurant chooses to avoid. If you think any of this post is untrue, go out and create a vegan restaurant and see what happens to it. I saw a chain in CA go that way, the name escapes me, but they were basically a spectacular salad bar with vegan spaghetti, pizza and desserts. I loved the place and it lasted for about three years. We ate there frequently. Most of our friends avoided it like the plague. If it hadn't been a chain, it would not have lasted six months.
