    I hope this doesn’t happen on my flight from Detroit to Vietnam on Delta. I told them ahead of time I want the Western vegan meals but maybe I should bring my own food just in case.

    Another vegan said: "How difficult is it to have an alpro yoghurt, tomato, broccoli and vegan cheese pasta? Basic stuff.>

    Do they know how heavy those items are going to be specially if they’re going to carry those items in bulk just in case they have to cater to one or three persons?

    If you have dietary restrictions bring your own food.

      That is straight up victim blaming, have some empathy for people, it’s not hard to accommodate everyone. As they can use the same ingredients from the other meals to make something without the animal products.

    Most airlines if not all contract to companies based at the Airport to provide the in-flight meals.

    So in all honesty is it surprising that a flight from Ghana would not cater well to vegans? And the meals she was provided were vegan, including a vegan wrap which does not qualify as just “fruit and nuts”.

    Veganism remains niche even in rich countries despite the hype. Like 1% of people at most compared to 10% vegetarian.
