Right Wing Internet Trolls Attack Vegan Cafes

The Guardian newspaper reveals that there is a new perceived threat for right wing internet trolls to get their proverbial knickers in a twist over.  It's Vegan Restaurants.  The paper reports that Jim Anderson and his wife Samantha are the proprietors of The Oak Tree, a vegan cafe and restaurant.  However, trolls targetted them with such abuse that they have had to tone down the strapline that they offer a plant based menu. It may sound odd that anyone would be offended by chilli fried tofu or lightly battered cauliflower, but Anderson said the online abuse was relentless.   He said vegan restaurants had become a punching bag for culture war trolls who see them as a “threat to their way of life, like transgender rights and Black Lives Matter”.  LGBTQIA+ activists voiced their support for the Oak Tree and other vegan cafes online, noting that regardless of our views on vegan diets, we are all united against the right wing trolls.
