Vegan menu leaves Cambridge council with leftovers

My tablet bailed on me, and I had more thoughts.
This was something I'd been brooding about for a few days, seeing how the climate change issue is also about beating back the vegan propaganda that will literally kill us all. (And I'm not even being funny here!) But I've never read anything that indicates veganism cracks more than 4-5% of the population. No matter how trendy it is. And for once, this is not only a accurate put-down, it's also a indicator of the dream world many of our systems are based on. The only thing I know about restaurant economics is you don't design a menu for 5% of your potential population of customers. There's plenty of outright scams about nutrition and eating going on everywhere. Science will (eventually) take the wheel back for a while. But in the meantime, we can't go over the cliff with unsustainable food supply decisions. Maybe, after all, instincts will save us. Because the crisis with vegan dishes replacing vegetarian ones showed the motivations of the respective camps. I've always said I respect vegetarians because for some increasingly dicey months I was one of them. :lol: Vegetarians and omnivores and even well-behaved carnivores can eat at the same table. But the vegans won't join us. That tablecloth has touched meat, in a seven degrees of Kevin Bacon kind of way. :lol: And we won't eat their food. In the end, they will lose, but so much mayhem can still be avoided. |
Interesting article, Demi. I was out this past weekend for a family celebration at a restaurant local to me called Fogo de Chao. It's a Brazilian steakhouse with a very well-stocked salad bar with much diversity in that it has veggies and protein like salmon, cold cuts, cheeses, and other delicious stuff. But the main course, as anyone who has been to a Brazilian steakhouse knows, are the grilled meats that are paraded around on skewers to each table and carved for the diner who uses tongs to place the servings on the plate. It's all-you-can-eat protein for a fixed price, and it's delicious. One would think that with the crazy (and completely unfounded) claims of climate, health issues, and other silly stuff about meat, that these restaurants would be having a hard time attracting customers. No! It's quite the opposite, and to make a reservation, one has to book weeks in advance due to the popularity. The restaurant was packed, and we had a great time while I was able to never stray from my desired WOE.
