Comments on: What Can I Do About Veggie Burgers Being Cooked on the Same Grill with Hamburgers at My School Cafeteria? http://www.vrg.org/blog/2012/03/21/what-can-i-do-about-veggie-burgers-being-cooked-on-the-same-grill-with-hamburgers-at-my-school-cafeteria/ The Vegetarian Resource Group Blog Wed, 01 May 2013 17:20:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Caryn Ginsberg http://www.vrg.org/blog/2012/03/21/what-can-i-do-about-veggie-burgers-being-cooked-on-the-same-grill-with-hamburgers-at-my-school-cafeteria/comment-page-1/#comment-52443 Caryn Ginsberg Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:23:44 +0000 http://www.vrg.org/blog/?p=2948#comment-52443 Excellent article about thoughtful, constructive ways to make a request. Nice focus on being sympathetic and respectful towards others, typical of VRG's always great work. For an ask in a sandwich shop or restaurant. My only question for advocates to consider is whether trying to get a cafeteria to clean the grill each time or buy new equipment is the best place to use precious vegan capital. We foster a reputation of being extreme or difficult sometimes, often in ways that don't save any animals lives. I don't say this to be disrespectful of anyone's preference not to eat off a grill with animal products, but wondering if it's not an easy response on the other side whether it's worth it for a bigger interaction. Again, great article with many helpful tips to sure to make a difference for people! Excellent article about thoughtful, constructive ways to make a request.
