SUMMARY:
This vegan restaurant chain has been in business 14 years. Last year, they become non-Vegan by adding sustainable meats and dairy to the menu.
This week they are closing down all their locations.
Sounds like they ran out of vegans.
LOL!
Just a quick aside, haven’t humans had “regenerative agriculture” for the last 8 or 10 thousand years? I mean, after several millennia, hasn’t agriculture pretty much established that it is “regenerative” and “sustainable” (to use that other annoying term)??
If you meet a conservative, you’ll probably only know he’s conservative from long term observation. There are, obviously, some loud exceptions. But if you meet a vegan, you’ll likely know he’s a vegan with just five minutes exposure. Being vegan is an essential part of their identity. But it’s not an obvious part, like a beard or breasts, so they have to tell you, lest you should “identify” them as just some ordinary person. They’re special and they want you to know about it. Kind of like the early adopters of the electric car. THEY were saving the planet.
Cali new salaries and health ins .
I suspect most places will be closing .
Vote socialism and you get poverty .
Sounds like they abandoned their base. Mrs jimfree and I were very fond of a vegetarian Indian restaurant in the region. The same operators had a SEPARATE non-vegetarian location.
Wow. Militant vegans. Beware of flying carrots.
“Outraged activists have taken aim at a famed vegan restaurant chain...”
Good grief....these kinds of people really need to get a life and fill it with something more meaningful than gettin’ their panties in a knot over a restaurant.........SHEESH
Put ze bugs on ze menu.
That vegan crowd is nasty mean. No doubt the restaurant was doing poorly and they shook thinks up to try to save the business by adding meat. In hindsight they probably regret not shutting it down a year ago and saving tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of additional $ losses.
-——regenerative agriculture-——
All agriculture is regenerative if some of the crop is reserved for seed.
Outraged activists. Furious activists.
Is there any other kind? Why don’t the outraged and furious activists create and run their own restaurant? Why didn’t they buy Sage if they are so good at running a business?
In fact, they could have committed to running the restaurant for decades at a loss because of “justice.”
Many will close after the minimum wage increase in that State to $20 per hour.
Businesses can’t afford to stay in business. Price goes up from farm to table and all the way to the customer.
I suspect that most of their customers became too sick (due to vitamin deficiencies) to continue to frequent the place.
Vegans can’t be in the same ROOM with meat? Do they not realize that they, themselves, ARE MADE OF MEAT? *SMIRK*
This looks like a sad case of: live by the ideology, die by the ideology. Though it is really odd that the type of food you serve should be treated as an ideology, but I guess that is the case for Vegans. As some have said, by introducting meat, they infuriated their customer base....because their customer base were intolerant wokies. I guess it wasn’t enough that they could just order Vegan dishes; the entire restaurant had to be PURE.
But I guess, in all fairness, one might see similar behavior if a popular Halal restaurant started hyping its new selection of Kosher foods.
“Hey, we’re going to try that vegan restaurant. Wanna go?”
Me: “Does the menu have a meat section?”
“No, why would it?”
Me: “Meat restaurants have non-meat selections. Why are they doing all the heavy lifting? Let me know when your vegetable restaurant offers a hamburger.”
