Vegan

Passionate ethical vegan since 1996 - animals (including humans), environment, food production, labour, economy, health, cuisine. Privileged enough to be able to eat out regularly (like anybody who posts on HC as much as I do). I try not to make my reviews just descriptions or de facto promotional material for businesses, but rather actual measured expressions of my opinions both positive and negative. I’m seeing a lot of reviews recently saying they wish they could give a non-veg place 5 stars. Have we forgotten that these places are serving up slaughtered animals as food? I think it’s the least HC can do to limit the ratings these places can be given. We’re none of us perfect, but it pays to remember that when we eat vegan options at a non-vegan restaurants, we’re allowing them to profit from our ethics without them needing to make any real change. Plus there’s a good chance you’ll accidentally be served something non-vegan and there’s not really much you can do once that’s happened. The damage is done. Remember that worker exploitation is rife in the hospitality industry (vegan businesses not excluded). Respect restaurant and cafe workers.
