Can we get segregation laws for meat eaters from vegans in a restaurant?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24959points) December 29th, 2018

Like smoking and non-smoking sections In a restaurant. Like meat and non-meat seating? Or even allergy sections? (nuts, shrimp ect.)

Well food smells can’t physically hurt anyone. If a person is so sensitive that it can that person needs to take responsibility for themselves.

@Dutchess_lll Maybe in the future? When, or if, the majority of citizens go vegan and we reach a tipping point? When meat shaming is commonplace?

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Or maybe people could just stop shaming altogether?

That was my entire point. They should both be socially acceptable or both socially unacceptable. How is it OK for a fat person to insult or preach to a smoker but it’s not OK for a smoker to preach to an obese person?

@Dutchess_lll Maybe because fat shamming makes girls self conscious and drives them to anorexia and dangerous dieting. We need to eat. We don’t need to smoke. Its a dangerous dance when we can’t ban food, because it is needed. Fat is beautiful.

Most people have a choice over what they eat and how much.

Sounds like discrimination to me.

@Dutchess_lll Have you not heard the Lay’s potato chip commercials? You can’t just eat one.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Yes you can. You can also eat none.

They both sound like discrimination to me.

Yes, it’s called a green ban.

What if we’re people that label ourselves as ‘middle of the road’ eaters? There are many people that love both meat and veggies combination on the same plate. Different type of eaters can ignore each others in the same room just fine without any direct consequence, unlike the smoking issue.

I know this sounds selfish but I wish there are segragation room in the restaurant for appropriate customers and customers that bring uncontrollable noisy kids in to the restaurant.

I don’t see non-vegetarians being upset at eating with vegetarians, and vegetarians have the option of going to a vegetarian restaurant.

I don’t believe in segregation…I just don’t understand WHY people just can’t get along!!! As a meat lover, I’m not bothered by a vegan eating next to me. IF the aroma of meat is that repulsive to you, I would think that you would choose to eat at a vegan restaurant where you won’t have to worry about coming in contact with meat!!! I also don’t understand why people with a particular food allergy insist o eating out & expecting the restaurant to halt their production in order to prepare them a special meal. I think I would prefer to eat at home where I know exactly what is going into my food & NOT gamble with my life!!!

Wouldnt bother me to sit in vegan or meat section.

@Unofficial Yes please on a childrens section. Parents can be desensitized. I’ve moved seating and also left. My mother never allowed me to be disruptive or we left.

Let’s just all pass laws that make sure that everybody we don’t approve of has to stay home, or, if they simply must socialize, place them in camps specific to their offensivenesses. Fat people in fat camps, smokers in smoke camps, meat eaters in carnivore camps, brown people in camps, Muslims, Jews, women, poor people, etc etc etc.
Yup. Camps for all.

“Camps for all?” Who will get to ride in the front of the bus??

C., I’m not understanding your question at all.

Are you so offended, so repulsed, by veganism that you want to quarantine those of us who practice that lifestyle? Does my plate of rice and vegetables infringe on other people’s sensitivities? Or, are you worried about protecting the rights of vegans, thus thinking that restaurants need safe zones where I can eat rice and vegetables with impunity?

^^^ Please know that I’m not baiting you, C. I’m genuinely asking you to clarify your question and help me answer it.
