>>21402942>Could you explain?What's there to explain? Lots of fringe religious movements run restaurant chains. This is a well known and well documented phenomenon.
>>21402050 (OP)The day I bought our Thanksgiving turkey, I mentioned to this black guy at the supermarket who's kid was showing my kid his 2DS that they have a good sale on turkey at this chain so he should nab one, too, while he can. He said he appreciates a good deal but he's vegan and Tofurkey is cheaper at the other store down the street, he only stopped in at this one for yams and cranberries and wound up picking up a few other things.
I glanced in his trolley/basket/cart and sure enough, it was full of produce and vegan stuff.
I mentioned that this particular chain has a location closer to the college campus with lots more vegan stuff than this store did and he said that he'll check it out since he actually lives closer to that one but since he was getting the Tofurkey at that other store, he decided to stop in at this one, instead.
I've met black vegans and vegetarians before. One of my best friends is one, one half of a vegan couple we're friends is black-ish (yemeni counts as black, right? She looks like Ruth Nega) and i guy I went to school with was born and raised a black vegetarian (his parents were legit Black Panthers in the sixties). But what surprised me about this guy was that he was decidedly "urban." Like, he looked and dressed like Fitty and spoke like the "you mad" guy from the ancient meme.
I've never met an urban guy of any race who was vegan besides this one.
>>21402185That's not Ital.
>>21402290lol
None of the ones I know believe any of that. The yemeni one just doesn't want her grandkids to live in an ecological wasteland. That best friend justโฆ well, honestly, he just kinda hopped on the bandwagon 20 years ago when they crustpunk was vegan.
