Hardy's
has
vegan
options.
This
is
why
I
am
a
customer.
Their
vegan
items
are
quite
yummy.
I'm
giving
5
stars
because
I
like
what's
vegan,
the
shop
is
a
nice
place
to
be,
and
the
staff
always
behaves
pleasantly.
However,
this
review
will
include
an
important
complaint
that
will
hopefully
help
owners
understand
the
seriousness
of
VEGANISM
to
their
vegan
customers.
Whenever
I
order
the
vegan
burrito
in
person,
I'm
always
asked
by
staff
if
I
want
sour
cream
with
it,
to
which
I
always
reply,
"no,
sour
cream
isn't
vegan."
There
is,
of
course,
vegan
sour
cream,
and
Hardy's
doesn't
carry
any.
I
ordered
doordash,
and
the
sour
cream
came
in
the
bag.
On
the
app,
I
didn't
have
an
option
to
reject
the
non-vegan
topping.
To
be
vegan
is
to
boycott
all
products
that
come
from
animal
use.
Having
a
non-vegan
item
included
with
a
vegan
order
as
default
is
a
display
of
ignorance.
Can
I
trust
that
the
other
things
they
SAY
are
vegan
actually
are?
Do
not
call
something
'vegan'
on
your
menu
if
the
whole
order
is
not.
Dairy
items
should
never
be
volunteered
to
those
not
asking
for
it.
Cow
products
are
not
positive
for
many
reasons:
antibiotic
resistance,
animal
exploitation,
environmental
damage,
etc.
Consider
those
who
are
lactose
intolerant.
That's
an
allergy!
In
addition,
it's
important
to
connect
with
loss
of
business
for
limiting
the
vegan
options.
You
know
this
to
be
true
already
based
on
the
success
of
the
brownie—which
is
always
vegan.
Vegans
only
choose
animal-free
foods—with
no
exceptions.
If
someone
says
they're
vegan
but
they
partake
in
non-vegan
action
periodically,
they
don't
understand
what
the
Philosophy
of
Veganism
is.
It
is
not
merely
a
diet,
it's
an
ethical
way
of
living
that
boycotts
all
animal
use,
all
the
time,
as
far
as
possible.
Now,
pre-vegans
DO
eat
vegan
food.
For
example,
I
love
poppyseed
muffins.
There
are
delicious
vegan
poppyseed
muffins
I
buy
at
Whole
Foods.
I
wouldn't
cheat
on
my
ethical
standards
just
because
I
want
a
poppyseed
muffin,
I'm
at
Hardy's,
and
I
don't
want
to
make
the
drive
to
Whole
Foods.
I
choose
the
vegan
option
instead,
whatever
flavor
it
may
be.
Boycotting
the
use
of
animals
is
more
important
than
my
taste
preference
for
a
POPPYSEED
PASTRY,
and
the
vegan
option
is
delicious
anyway.
In
reverse,
pre-vegans
aren't
boycotting
items
ABSENT
of
cow's
milk,
chicken's
eggs,
honey,
and
anything
else
from
an
animal.
Pre-vegans
are
who
mostly
buy
that
vegan
brownie,
and
I
doubt
the
majority
of
them
even
notice
the
LACK
OF
dairy,
honey,
and
egg
in
it.
I
can't
even
tell
a
vegan
pastry
is
vegan
based
on
taste
alone,
because
cow's
milk
and
chicken's
egg
isn't
what
makes
baked
goods
taste
how
they
do.
The
plant
ingredients
bring
them
to
life.
If
I
was
lied
to,
and
told
something
was
vegan
when
it
wasn't,
how
would
I
know?
The
flavor
profile
isn't
much
different.
You
can't
actually
detect
those
ingredients
in
baked
goods
without
a
superhuman
palate.
What's
the
point
of
making
any
pastry
non-vegan
anymore?
Animal
ingredients
are
outdated.
I
also
love
cinnamon
rolls.
They
are
non-vegan
most
of
the
week,
but
on
Friday
and/or
Saturday
I
can
sometimes
get
a
vegan
cinnamon
roll
from
Hardy's!
Why
are
they
not
vegan
all
week?
When
desired
vegan
option
is
unavailable,
vegans
will
leave
and
go
elsewhere,
or
make
it
themselves.
Lost
business.
I've
gone
in
before
for
coffee
and
pastry
when
all
vegan
options
were
sold
out,
so
I
bought
coffee
only.
If
all
non-vegan
pastries
were
sold
out
and
a
pre-vegan
came
in
for
the
same
purpose,
with
their
coffee
they'd
get
a
vegan
pastry.
No
loss.
By
not
making
all
pastries
vegan
and
having
default
condiments
for
everyone
be
vegan,
the
result
is
lost
business
and
waste.
Aside
from
the
ethical
reasons
to
be
vegan,
I
also
understand
that
animal
foods
are
detrimental
to
human
health
(Book:
How
Not
To
Die
by
Micheal
Greger,
MD).
That
cow
sour
cream
went
right
down
my
garbage
disposal.
If
y'all
made
your
poppyseed
muffins
vegan,
you
wouldn't
take
a
loss
from
pre-vegans
who
currently
buy
it,
you'd
sell
more
because
vegans
would
be
buying
it
in
addition
to
the
people
that
already
do.
