yesterday I found myself eating in a restaurant kitchen "natural" (as it is accompanied The restaurant's name). This is actually a vegetarian restaurant, or more specifically veganism. What is it?
Borrow Wikipedia to the uninitiated:
"The term veganism (rarely called vegans) indicates a diet and a lifestyle that excludes the use of animal products such as food and for any other purpose. [ 1] The members (vegans or those with loan from English, vegan) then not only refuse to eat fish and meat, like vegetarians, but also of milk, dairy products, eggs and dairy products, honey, and to buy and use products of any kind, the achievement of which involves the direct exploitation of animals. The main vegans justifications for their choice of life is the commitment to the cause of animal rights and related ethical reasons such as Isa, but are also frequently cited environmental reasons, health-conscious, spiritual and religious. [2] particular relevance to the choice to join the condemnation of veganism is often the practical aspects of industrial farming and animal testing. "
It is therefore, as you can see, choices are not related exclusively to the taste of food, anything but but choices of different order with a strong ethical foundation. However, as often happens when the choices belong to a few individuals and not to the community, these places become very elitist, with a natural selection of customers. Therefore it is easy to imagine the kind of people we have next to our table, and of course a number of "let's try this vegetarian" who feel lost trying to figure out what they can eat if there is no meat.
My wife and I, not new to this experience, although still free from remorse for the satisfaction of biting into the chop, we gathered in this room "vegan".
mixed starter for two, boiled potatoes with parsley and summer herbs, peppers Palermo. "Drink it take the gentlemen?" And there his wife, naively says: "For me a beer, okay A brunette. " The owner, who was working on writing our orders, rolls his eyes and his face openly shocked says, "No ma'am, we do not keep these things! If you want I can bring the craft beer produced in Victoria. " Ok, go for craft beers. Excuse to!! Of course, you know, the craftsmen are a little 'loved ones. € 6.00 per bottle 33cc.
eat our dinner, with the background music of a guitarist who in appearance and sound production is well suited to the style of the room. At the end we take the cake. Gelato. Obviously made with rice milk and soy milk. Not bad. The palate had sufficient satisfaction, however, without reaching high peaks of enjoyment.
The bill through. Here comes the
cartuzza with a total of 61 €. The feeling is that the whole discourse ethics veganism, a proper respect for the animal world, is suddenly shattered by a convenient view of life, where we stop exploiting animals to exploit customers. All in all it was just vegetables!
However, the menu they brought the prices were, and if I score I decided to take a dish of boiled potatoes with parsley and herbs summer paying € 9, my business, I mean that is so good . Otherwise I get up and go home where I can eat with 9 € boiled potatoes with parsley for about three weeks for lunch and dinner.
But the receipt? That because I did not bring it? Is there any ethical reason that escapes me for not paying taxes?
