I am 100% supportive of having LOTS of vegetarian options and LOTS of vegan options,
and I am 100% supportive of people eating less red meat for climate change,
but venues going 100% vegan makes life very hard for those of us with multiple food allergies and multiple food intolerances :(
I say this as a long-term vegetarian who would be unable to meet my food needs without eggs/cheese.
Also a lot of vegan "fake meat" is full of gluten, soy, vegetable gum and other problem ingredients.

I'm married to a vegetarian who became one cecause she doesn't like meat, so it's no good for her either. There's plenty of interesting vegan food without using fake meat, so it's not difficult. We've been unable to eat in some vegan places because they only did fake meat things.

Date: 2022-11-19 12:17 pm (UTC)That is the tricky bit.
Most narrow rural roads have stretches with no walkable off-road so the rare pedestrian *has to* walk on the road. 40mph gives the driver a little more time to avoid them.
Frequent non-trivial cost versus rare life v death benefit is the hardest risk and cost/benefit assessment.
