Critic: 'From a vegan standpoint I would see this as unethical practice'
(SLAY NEWS) – A “woke” vegan restaurant has flopped so badly that its owners have been forced to start selling meat in an effort to save the business from going bust.
In the English town of Taunton, about 150 miles southwest of London, The Mango Tree is closing temporarily for renovation.
When the struggling restaurant opens back up in the fall, it won’t just be just the decor that has changed. The menu has also been renovated and now includes meat, according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
“Those who loved the plant-based values have hit out saying ‘selling meat is worse than closing’,” the outlet notes.
However, the restaurant’s owners say they’ve had no choice but to adapt, given the circumstances.
Last month, the restaurant announced the renovations in a Facebook post.
But the post failed to inform the restaurant’s handful of “woke” customers about the addition of meat to the menu.
