Goes to a vegan cafe

Brings non-vegan food

Is asked to put it away

(Surprised pikachu)

The fuck was she expecting? This is some piss poor anti-vegan brainrot right here.

Even if you take out any mention of veganism, I feel like this still isn't acceptable behavior. Restaurants and cafés are assumed to have a de facto "no outside food" policy. If you go into a café, order a coffee and pull out your own lunch, you'd typically be asked to leave.

Is it extra rude to bring flesh into a vegan establishment? Absolutely.

Yeah, I feel she like she pulled this stunt to gossip to her carnist friends about "those mean vegans are unreasonable"

We don’t need our clean vegan plates to be tainted with slaughter.

she should IMHO have to pay for the plate too. some vegans are not even vegan by choice but by allergy, and just fragments of scavengers "food" -really not easily to "completely" clean from plates- can cause very bad allergic reactions and i would expect a pure vegan (not necesarily a "vegetarian") restaurant to explicitly "throw away" (as in never use it again for guests) any plate contaminated. luckily i am not a vegan myself and vegetarian mostly by my own choice, but i know how hard allergic reactions to non"food"-contaminated-food can be.

of course a sign that "meat is not allowed to be eaten there and everything contacted with it has to be payd to buy anew by the offender as it could not be used any more by the reastaurant" should better be placed somewhere to on one hand help service personnel with such guests by clarifying things and on the other hand to give more security to those guests who are not vegan by choice.

Just for clarity, veganism is always a choice, as it's a moral position, not a diet. If you have an allergy to meat, that wouldn't prevent you from using other nonfood animal products, so you wouldn't necessarily be vegan.

The term for someone who only follows a vegan diet, but not by choice, would be "plant based".

The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
