I visited a strictly vegan Indian restaurant once, there was a huge kerfuffle that night because some diners had brought a baby in and was spoon feeding the child baby food from a jar that was not vegan. This wasn't the issue... the issue was that the spoon was the restaurants spoon. Their religious convictions deemed that spoon now "violated". They threw the family out and made them pay for the cutlery as well. If they'd used their own cutlery there would not have anywhere near as much animosity. I see this sort of behavior as irrational. But I dont live these peoples lives and dont believe what they believe. I just liked their food :-P

Why in the world did the family pay for the spoon? I mean I might have offered if someone had politely informed me about what I'd done. But I'm certainly not going to of it's a demand.

  their religious convictions stated that they could no longer use the cutlery. they had to dispose of it. ie, could never be cleaned enough to be "vegan" again... bloody bonkers really. Edit, yes it was metal...

    I wonder if they were Jain vegetarians. The strictest Jains don't even eat root vegetables like onions or potatoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jain_vegetarianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jain_vegetarianism

      Or maybe "level 5 vegans", they won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

        Aren't those called "breatarians"? People living on air and sunlight.
