In reply to the discussion: Eleven Madison Park's Vegan-Only Restaurant Has a Secret Meat Room for the Rich [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)24. Sure, but no doubt most of those who eat there knew about the
private dining room. This is their community after all. And others who didn't know now do, though probably they were few for the very reason that these things are important to them.
I checked the restaurant's web site. During the pandemic, they supposedly became more immersed in environmental food issues and food insecurity and eventually joined the movement to food sustainability by changing to a plant-based menu.
Veganism is not mentioned. Sustainability concerns do not include many of the philosophical issues of veganism, and I assume those vegans who are scrupulous about what they eat would know that.

I say just pay them a decent wage (like most of the rest of the advanced world does).
