If I’m at a buffet and some of the food available is labelled as vegan, gluten free, etc, that’s what I won’t eat.
I can eat _anything_ there. Why would I take what might be the only thing someone with a more restricted diet can eat?
>It will now consider serving only 25% vegan options at such events.
Why the hell would it *consider* serving MORE than 25% vegan?! A quick search suggests 1.2% of people are vegan, and I assume that includes the bullshitters that only do it when it suits. Then consider the people who are actually going to be at such an event…
An event for Remembrance Sunday wouldn’t be where I’d trial this if I was going to.
Aka an event where the majority of attendees are going to be:
* older
* possibly with health conditions that affect what they can and can’t eat
* more traditional in terms of tastes, or unwilling or unlikely to do something different from everyone else – given the military praises and rewards uniformity
They should try a *”gas chamber and anal fisting free”* buffet next time. Really get people double-taking at the sign.
*”You might notice something different about our buffet today, that’s because none of the food here involved putting sentient individuals in gas chambers or the deep anal fisting of live animals in their production…”*
Put hog roast back on the menu! Stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side 🤤
In my experience there is a sizeable demographic that will refuse anything labelled vegan, even if the recipe doesn’t have animal products anyway.
I saw it at a work Christmas party.
“Vegan Christmas pudding? Get to fuck!”
*sits with arms folded, not eating anything for dessert, scowling*
(Ignore that nearly all supermarket versions contain no animal products and probably say vegan on them in small print)
My concern here is that it doesn’t mention what the food actually *was*.
100 guests at a buffet with £579 spent on food? That’s less than £6 a head. It just makes me wonder if the food was even that good to begin with. If the people who set this up were not vegan themselves then there is probably a lot they didn’t know or understand.
Also the flyer literally just shows a picture of raw fruit & veg. That’s not the most appealing visual. Show me a good cooked meal. We’re humans, not goats.
Because good vegetarian food is possible but I’m sorry vegan food is just terrible there is nothing you can do..
>”Unfortunately the leftover plant-based food had to be disposed of, as the council is required, by law, to throw away any perishable food that has been out at room temperature, after two hours.”
Another great win against climate change I see. Maybe if these people really cared about the environment they would push for vegetarian or low meat food people would actually eat, but many are just lying, their motives are entirely ideological.
Edit: you can all keep trolling, doesn’t change the fact the food got thrown away.
