Are Servings Smaller For Those Eating Meatless Meals?

By Rob Sutter


For those who attend restaurants quite often, you're probably left satisfied with the sizes of meals you're given. They can be rather substantial, which means that you're not going to feel cheated by the amount set on your plate. What about those particular scenarios, though, in which your entrees are not only not worthy of the money but unremarkable in general? For those eating meatless meals, it's possible that this particular community is given smaller portions, which isn't the best scenario, as you could imagine.

After coming across a particular blog entry on Be Well Philly, I was curious as to what those eating meatless meals had to go through day after day. Ritchie Miller went out to eat with his friends, each of them eating meat, and ordered something different seeing as how he's vegan. However, he wasn't exactly treated with the same kind of respect as the rest of his group. It's the kind of story which, I am certain, would draw the attention of authorities such as Quorn.

The plate that Miller was given was substantially skimpy compared to those he went out to dine with. As you could imagine, there are some concerns that this could raise. Why should others be void of the service that others are given simply because of food requirements, whether it has to do with allergies, personal beliefs, or what have you? If this isn't the only instance and there are other eateries that follow this pattern, I think that there are some matters which have to be fixed.

If restaurants want to make sure that they're appealing to vegetarians and vegans alike, they should arrange their portions to match their prices. For example, why not add more in the way of vegetables in lieu of meat that would have been there otherwise? What about making use of meat substitutes if such products prove to be feasible? If these matters cannot be done, though, I think that prices should be lowered at the very least in order to compensate for the thinner meal that is given.

With the act of eating meatless meals slowly becoming more common in the world today, it would be fair to assume that eateries would take note of this. After all, some people simply do not believe in eating meat or they aren't quite happy with the taste of it in general. Regardless of what the case may be, I think that a wider selection in order to appeal to vegetarian and vegan audiences alike would be most ideal. My only hope is that they surface sooner as opposed to later.
