“We’d like to see vegan nachos, vegan hot dogs — typical cinema fare with a compassionate twist,” said Ben Williamson, a PETA spokesman who attended the press conference. “If you’re going to pay $12 for a box of popcorn, you don’t want any animal to have suffered for it.”

That fake dog better not touch my 100% beef jumbo.

Nice to see they’ve solved all of their problems with crime, congestion, broken schools and poverty so they have time and energy to address this.

vegan is an old injun word that means “lousy hunter”.

Silly to think that in our capitalist atmosphere there isn’t already such fare? Might have something to do with nobody wanting it, or it would already have been.

Government dictating what you eat. No area of life is free from the iron grip of the overpowering claws of a ravenous government.

I don’t live in LA any more. But if I did I’d be happy to drop off bags of lawn clippings at the local theater. They could pay me $0.10/bag and sell it for $5/baggie (100s of baggies per bag). I wouldn’t get much richer, but they can make a killing on margins if there are actually a lot of vegans who want to eat at theaters and I could laugh at the idiots paying $5/baggie for my lawn clippings.

Non-dairy Milk Duds?

Olive oil-drizzled popcorn?

“There’s really no downside to it,” Koretz told Variety.

If that was so, the market would have taken care of it. If I was a theater owner, if required to carry it, I would make it at a significant premium. You want a soy dog, that will be $25.

So cities can now make law to force anyone to do anything? How the hell is vegan food a concern of the government?

The theaters have a hard enough time filling their rooms as it is. Don’t start trying to make people conform to something they have no interest in. Maintain the separation of Vegan and State, please! Religious groups couldn’t get away with mandating ‘Customers must say Grace before eating, and it must be said aloud!’ Can you imagine the rage and hilarity?

If there’s no down side to adding a vegan option and if there’s a demand for it, wouldn’t the theaters have done it already? I mean they’re out to make money right?

Or maybe the theaters just aren’t aware of the demand. In that case, maybe the councilman could contact the theaters to make them aware. Then you wouldn’t need a law.

But of course it’s more fun to force people to do stuff.

Great. Now we’ll have overpriced vegan options along with the overpriced everything else.
