Hmm. I got a private response from Sally M. at Desert Roots. Here it is:
Judgey
"I found your review very judgmental. Do you mind when your server who serves you meats or alcohol offensive if they smoke? Cigarettes, although not the healthiest thing on the planet, are not made from dead animals, or GMOs.
Eating a vegan diet, for some, has more to do with a cruelty-free way of living, rather than a health choice." - Sally M.
Dear Sally M.,
The issue is not that I am judging you for smoking. I assure you I do not care one lick of an iota if you smoke. It's that you smoked right outside your restaurant, then waltzed back in and immediately went to serve up some hummus. My issue is that this is unsanitary, and whether you're serving a veggie wrap or a ribeye smothered in extra GMO meat sauce, just plain gross.
