A Los Angeles city councilman proposed on Wednesday that the city require movie theaters and sports venues to serve vegan food.

The law would make Los Angeles the first city in the nation to impose such a mandate. At a press conference on the steps of City Hall, councilman Paul Koretz announced the measure alongside representatives from PETA, the Humane League, and the Los Angeles Food Policy Council. The ordinance would require theaters and other “large-scale entertainment venues” that serve food to offer at least one vegan protein option on their menus.

“There’s really no downside to it,” Koretz told Variety. “The change could easily be made in any venue. A movie theater serves hot dogs. They can serve vegan dogs. It’s easy.”

Nobody orders it, nobody eats it.
It gets trashed, resulting in
higher prices for the other menu
items. If vegan items were demanded,
they would be on the menu, as movie
theaters make a lot of their profit
from vending.

Here's a nice youtube vegan song to accompany your vegan thread here...

"Not so-—it’s just saying vegan choices should be offered——you don’t have to order it."

Never heard of the "slippery slope"?

“you don’t have to order it.”
At first.

“Government dictating what you eat. “

Not so-—it’s just saying vegan choices should be offered——you don’t have to order it.

Not so - they're just saying Vegan choices HAVE TO be offered. You HAVE TO sell them if you own a certain business.

Fifteen or 20 years ago, the wife of the owner of the Harkins' theater chain--the theaters are primarily located in Arizona--decided that, with the opening of new and newly-decorated theaters, the chain should start selling some new foods including vegan and gourmet foods. She had some encouragement from the vegans and hoity-toities.

After a year or so of trying, the theaters went right back to the popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, Milk Duds, and so forth. Their finances were reeling from the experiment.
