A recent post on social media has sparked debate over "non-vegetarian" signboard at restaurant in Kerala.
The post was shared on X by user named @RishiJoeSanu. The picture showed a signboard that read, "We are completely non-vegetarian restaurant. Vegetarian dishes served are for variety. Both are cooked in a common kitchen."
The caption with the picture mentioned that the signboard was put up to "avoid reputational damage".
"Mallu restaurants have begun displaying "Non-Vegetarian" signboards to avoid the reputational damage that comes from vegetarian engagement baiters on X," the caption read.
The post has garnered over 4.45 lakh views and a flurry of comments.
"Actually a good step. Folks can take a conscious call," a user commented.
Another user commented, "Pune has been doing it since aeons!"
"This is actually super honest and useful for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians," commented a third.
"This is actually good! I wish more restaurants do this, so vegetarians/vegans can avoid going there, instead of going there and creating scene. Clarity and honesty goes a long way," commented a fourth.
"I'm a vegetarian and actually welcome this. Shows honesty and avoids unnecessary questions," wrote another user.
