Are Servings Smaller For Those Eating Meatless Meals?

By Rob Sutter


I'm sure that if you go to any restaurant, you may be curious as to what the serving sizes are. In most cases, they are rather substantial and definitely worth the money that you put down for them. In other cases, though, you may wonder if there was a mistake or if someone decided to swipe a good portion of your entre off of your plate by accident. It seems like there is a bit of concern in the vegetarian and vegan worlds as eating meatless meals may unfortunately mean smaller portions.

Be Well Philly posted a blog which seemed to be an outcry of sorts for those eating meatless meals. A blogger named Ritchie Miller posted about a night he had with his friends when they went out to dine, Miller being a vegan unlike the rest of his group. As he ordered his food, though, to say that he wasn't treated with the same regard as the others would be an understatement. In fact, I would like to think that this kind of instance would be worthy of authorities like 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.

It's clear that people go about meatless diets during their daily lives and matters should be made better if eateries are taken into account. One of the possible ideas to take into consideration is to add more in the way of produce if meat is not something that the consumer desires. If meat substitutes are able to be used, then the situation is made even better. If these matters cannot be done, for one reason or another, then prices should be lowered to some degree.

One can only hope that more support of eating meatless meals is seen in the future because it's apparent that these diets are taken on for many reasons. While some may utilize them for the sake of health, others have their own sets of beliefs. They don't seem to believe in consuming animal products, which is a completely valid statement to make. It's because of these ideals - as well as others - that vegetarian and vegan diets should be incorporated into restaurant menus more often.
