No offense, corboy, as i am a huge fan of your posts but i disagree on some points. While i despise radical vegans, landmark, AND cafe gratitude, i do see the vegans point.
1. I dont see it as their business what the engelhardts eat at home. It does expose a certain landmarkian hypocrisy, however.
2. The vegans have every right to be concerned that money from gratitude is going to buy cows used for meat. Cows are not cheap or free. While attacking people on social media personallly (which trolls on ALL sides do these days), is way out of line, boycotting a restaurant that has claimed vegan values for years for diverting money to buy cows is totally appropriate and within the law and their right as Americans. Spreading knowledge about their hypocrisy is also totally appropiate and is not attacking. Trashing them personally on social media in the way that vegans are known to do IS "attacking". So i would advise separating those who are merely sharing info and advocating a boycott from those who are harrassing them PERSONALLY online. Not fair to lump them all together....
They SHOULD have been boycotting the place for years for being landmark connected like i have. (Note: i dont eat at panda express either!) But they probably were either willing to brush it under the rug or just didnt do research on landmark, est, or erhardt.
