Doesn’t seem like these two guys were vegan for Instagram internet points or for following a trend. They’re not trying to game the system for steak, medium rare. Their dietary restrictions are part of a larger belief system — they’re vegans because it’s the only diet consistent with their beliefs about animal rights.

Irrespectively of my own personal opinion on ethical veganism, if it’s a sincerely held belief, it should be treated the same as, say, a Jewish inmate requesting to eat kosher, or a Muslim inmate requesting to eat halal. A prison sentence shouldn’t effectively force you to break with those beliefs.

They didn't order a specific meal, they asked for specific items to be excluded from their meals. I'm often cooking for vegans, and it's really not that fricken difficult.

No, because they could have just not eaten it. They ask for a nutritious vegan meal, meaning substitutes

You're proposing that they could have starved?

I’m proposing they eat what they’re given. You know what happens if a vegan eats meat? Nothing. It’s totally fine. They just don’t want to.

"They could have just not eaten it" and "they eat what they’re given" are literally opposites of each other. So you don't have an actual point; you're just being an asshat. Why don't you do that by yourself instead of involving other people in your personal misery?

They probably can't order tofu. It would be B12-fortified oatmeal or something like this.

I think you are being ridiculous here. Rare steak is expensive compared to rice and beans. And providing vegan meal is super easy.

What a ridiculous comment.

Do you hold any philosophical beliefs? If so, would you be willing to share them?
