A BURGER restaurant has caused uproar by mocking a vegan customer on Facebook and comparing her beliefs to Nazism.
Mark Clews, co-owner of Tuk Tuk in the NSW Hunter Valley, said he had warned the woman her food could contain traces of meat, and she had eaten it anyway.
.....
Others called the post “disgraceful” and as angry messages poured in, one user wrote on the page: “Do not mess with the Vegans ... EVER!!!”
Mr Clews responded: “But they are so easy to mess with. They lack physical strength because of zero red meat in their diet! They are single-minded and Nazi-like in there conviction ... The worst thing, from a chef’s point of view is they cannot cook a vegetable to save their life.”
.....
Mr Clews told news.com.au he had been bombarded with abuse throughout the night since the incident yesterday.
He said he had received death threats and abusive phone calls to his mobile phone number, which was published on the campaigners’ Facebook page.
.....
He said the restaurant offered vegetarian and pescetarian options, as well as a bunless burger for gluten-intolerant customers.
But he said that when the customer had questioned the menu, he had told her the falafel burger could have meat traces from the hot plate, which is simply scraped down between burgers.
.....
He said she and her friend were “aggressive” in their behaviour, and he felt they “wanted to make trouble”.
“One in 200,000 people who dine here might be vegan. We’re a very small restaurant and we don’t have the facilities to clean off the hot plate with caustic soda and add oil again every time.
“This is our restaurant. It’s basically a temple of meat. We cater for who we cater for. Why should we be dictated to?”

“Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.”
Great movie. One of my faves. The very young Jack Nicholson.
“Animals are sentient and helpless creatures of God and they have souls.”
I hate to burst your bubble, but they have done research and found that plants cry when cut. Now what are you going to do?
When we were kids, no one had problems with those "drugs". We all drank whole milk and had soup and sandwich with Wonder Bread. We also ate cakes with that awful white flour. No one was sick. No one was fat. No one was weak.
Suppers were meat, potato and vegies.
Look at the shelves in your supermarket...
Folks....you've been conned.
“..... a sandwich made with Rye Toast, generously buttered and slathered in Grape Jelly or (even better) preserves enclosing a layer of thick cut Bacon and two Jumbo Eggs lightly scrambled and sprinkled with Black Pepper.ss”
Sounds wonderful. I’m going to try it. I do a variation on this that I eat frequently. One of my favorites. It’s toasted Brownberry Health Nut Bread, buttered, and slathered with first crunchy peanut butter, then slathered with grape preserves, and then layered with crispy fried bacon and topped with other piece of toasted, buttered bread. Delicious.
I love this man! This is what Americans should do.
Why would burger joints have vegan customers in the first place?
***
So the vegans can cause all sorts of trouble such as this, of course.
takes a LOT of hubris to goto a burger joint and complain there are no pure weed meals
When you write this:”I’m not a militant ass about it like 99.9 percent vegans...
And then follow it with this: “but I absolutely refuse to eat the rotting corpses of slaughtered, suffering animals whose last moments life were filled with fear, confusion and agony - my philosophy is you are what you eat.
You kinda’ ARE what you just said you weren’t.
Every liberal is a seething, violent thug. Never doubt it.
Would you please post the scripture to prove that?
What if the animals' last moments were pretty good, like maybe it was getting a back rub?
I'd probably eat that animal.
Still waiting for the Japanese to invent Wagyu chicken.
Prove it. I don't think the liberal Alinsky tactic of hyperbole goes over well here.
I've found that to be pretty much universally true amongst the tofu croud. Only humans are evil. If a man does the same thing a wolf does, the wolf is pure, but the man is evil.
In all seriousness, a statistically significant higher percentage of vegans / vegetarians are diagnosed with OCD. My dim recollection is twice as much as the rest of the American population. The prevailing theory in the mental health industry is that the rituals and hair-splitting of every aspect of eating, including food shopping and menu selection even in their own kitchens, disguises the disorder, which precludes treatment.
It is when they engage in what they think of as normal behaviors -- demands to inspect the kitchen, demands for use of "vegan-only" utensils, extensive querying of type and provenance of ingredients -- that the disorder can be seen for what it is, with the resulting conflicts with normal society.
What... :)
I’ll have the “pescetarian option”..on the side.
Why would a gay couple go to a Christian bakery for a Wedding Cake?
Hitler was in fact a vegetarian!
I agree! I can make tasty vegetarian dishes. But usually vegans eat highly processed food that it's own mother would not recognize.
Why give up natural for fake?
