Based on the argument of conservation and respect for animals, more and more people decide to change their diet and choose to follow veganism, a diet that does not include products derived from animal origin, so their food consists of plant-based foods.
Although there are more and more places and restaurants that include a special menu for those who follow this ideology, there are still places that do not think of them, so they do not have food that they can enjoy, as in the case of a Japanese airline, because after a passenger ordered a vegan dish, the flight attendant brought him a banana with cutlery, causing his experience to go viral.
The anecdote happened to a man identified under the name of Kris Chari, a user of the Flyer Talk travel forum, where he recounted the curious experience he had during his business class flight from Indonesia to Japan operated by Japan Airlines.
It turns out that when ordering his vegan breakfast for the seven-hour flight, the flight attendant brought him a banana with beautiful cutlery and chopsticks to his seat, to which the man assumed that the breakfast included the tropical fruit as an appetizer until he fell. Realizing that it was his breakfast.
Before today’s takeoff, my flight attendant confirmed that I ordered VGML (a vegan option) and that my breakfast was a banana. I mistakenly assumed that he meant that the breakfast included a banana.
At first, Kris Chari was quite surprised by the simplicity of her dish, since when she saw the abundant breakfast on the tray of the other passengers, she never thought that hers was a simple fruit, but when she expressed it with the person in charge of the flight , she confessed that they had no more vegan food to offer her.
Despite the insubstantial dish he received, the man assured that he was not dissatisfied, since that banana was one of the richest he has ever tasted. As for the vegan lunch, Chari described it as a more substantial meal than the plated banana, as it consisted of barely seasoned spaghetti.
Kris’s story soon became popular and users of the Flyer Talk forum were quick to comment and share the story on other networks, which received endless criticism and messages from vegan people supporting the passenger, assuring that, based on this experience, airlines should include vegan food on their menu.
