Forgive me for chuckling. but this story is just too rich:
A vegan restaurant has decided to put meat on the menu after being hit by the cost of living crisis – angering many customers who are ‘saddened’ by the change. The Mango Tree in Taunton, Somerset, closed its doors on Saturday to undergo renovations including an updated menu which will include meat. They are not the only vegan restaurant to struggle in recent years due to a lack of uptake, but those who loved the plant-based values have hit out saying ‘selling meat is worse than closing’.
Yeah, easy to say when it’s not your livelihood.
‘Veganism isn’t a business venture. It’s an ethical philosophy that does the best for the animals, the planet, and public health.’
The owners, however, have the proper perspective:
The restaurant, however, insisted they were left with ‘no choice’ and said: ‘The only other option was to close permanently. Ethics extend to the jobs and welfare of our wonderful team, to whom we owe a great deal, and another chance.’
Exactly. Good for them, and a pox on the fanatics.
