Woman asked to leave restaurant over baby's meal A mother was asked to leave a vegetarian restaurant for giving her 11-month-old son a jar of chicken baby food. Sarah Graham was told it was "offensive" to feed Joshua the meal by staff at the Rendezvous restaurant in Aberystwyth, Wales. She was also told there were worries about contamination. Sarah was asked to leave after asking the restaurant staff to warm up the jar, says theDaily Telegraph. Mrs Graham said: "I've never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life. It was not as if I had brought in a whole roast chicken and started carving. I was a vegetarian for 20 years but it doesn't mean that my baby has to eat only that way as well. "The manageress said she was worried about contamination. But I brought my own spoon - there is no way it could contaminate anything." The restaurant's owner, Maggie Cotton, said: "When the woman asked for the baby food to be heated we refused, but purely because of possible contamination of food. "I was very polite when I told her that we were offended by her bringing baby food containing meat into the restaurant. I simply stood by my beliefs. We often get families in and we gladly give them vegetarian food for the baby." A spokesman for the Vegetarian Society said: "We would support the restaurant owner in her stance." http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_820101.html

Woman asked to leave restaurant over baby's meal
A mother was asked to leave a vegetarian restaurant for giving her 11-month-old son a jar of chicken
baby food.
Sarah Graham was told it was "offensive" to feed Joshua the meal by staff at the Rendezvous
restaurant in Aberystwyth, Wales.
She was also told there were worries about contamination. Sarah was asked to leave after asking the
restaurant staff to warm up the jar, says theDaily Telegraph.
Mrs Graham said: "I've never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life. It was not as if I had
brought in a whole roast chicken and started carving. I was a vegetarian for 20 years but it doesn't
mean that my baby has to eat only that way as well.
"The manageress said she was worried about contamination. But I brought my own spoon - there is no
way it could contaminate anything."
The restaurant's owner, Maggie Cotton, said: "When the woman asked for the baby food to be heated we
refused, but purely because of possible contamination of food.
"I was very polite when I told her that we were offended by her bringing baby food containing meat
into the restaurant. I simply stood by my beliefs. We often get families in and we gladly give them
vegetarian food for the baby."
A spokesman for the Vegetarian Society said: "We would support the restaurant owner in her stance."

What are YOU doing in a vegan newsgroup? I've never been or claimed to be a vegan, and I don't think
I ever will be.
ANYBODY, even you, can come into a newsgroup, any newsgroup. - Shocking, but true.
-That's sarcasm BTW.

I asked your inseparable "mate" a question,. that is not trolling. You, predictably, came to the
attempted rescue, bike clips and baseball cap and all.

When? I found two posts from you in this group that mention "recipe," but neither was. One dealt
with prawns, which is off-topic. The other dealt with your buddy Devin McAndrews and was cross-
posted. Please clarify the matter for us.

I could only find one recipe and one comment about a recipe. The point is veganism is much more than
recipes, food, advice, news, exchanging views, etc.

Yes, it's a leftist political ideology based on pseudo-religious and pseudo-philosophical grounds.
It, in fact, is a shallow political ideology as it's based on a flimsy premise.

[censored]. It's a NEWSGROUP for vegans [vegan, Vegetarian who eats no foods of animal origin whatever,
including fish, eggs, and milk] to share recipes, interest in food, advice, news, exchanging
views, etc.
