Well, if a vegan-friendly company takes 'em over, that's the equivalent to

closing them down, right? I mean, travelers, people on their lunch hour,

people who want a quick meal should be able to get a quick veggie meal. It

can only help our cause: you don't have to do all this complex stuff to get

a veg*an meal. It's EASY to be veg*an.

 

What blocks some meat eaters is the fear that it will be too difficult. A

vegan fast-food place, and more vegan restaurants will prove those fears

groundless.
