The tweet gained traction on the platform and drew a number of mixed reactions. Some suggested that the Twitter user misinterpreted the meaning of the mention, and that there was no problem.

Vegetarians feel comfortable eating pure vegetables. So what’s the problem? Non-vegetarian eating is not prohibited from the same. “It’s the extra comfort zone given to people who prefer veggies,” one user wrote.

“So it would be more inclusive if the restaurant didn’t advertise but refused to serve non-vegetarian items?? Next, you’ll say that boards announcing the need to abolish men’s and women’s toilets, being discriminatory among them?!” read a comment.

So it would be more inclusive if the restaurant did not advertise but refused to serve non-veg items?? Then you will say that the boards that advertise men’s and women’s restrooms also need to cancel being discriminatory to each other?!

A few users have tried to explain what “purely vegan” means. “Pure ghee does not mean the other ingredients are impure. It means there is no adulteration. Pure ghee means it was made in a non-vegetarian kitchen,” one person wrote.

Pure ghee does not mean that the other ingredients are impure. It means no cheating. Pure veg means it’s made in a non-vegetarian kitchen.

You will do anything for likes and followers.

“This is like invoking a blank placard. Pure veg refers to vegetarian food, that’s it. Pure means no mixing of oil, lard, or other invisible elements of meat. It’s still wrong to make a distinction based on religion/caste, but in this , it’s just Indian English,” reads one of the comments.

This is like protesting with a blank banner. Pure vegetable refers to Vegetaroan food, that’s all. Pure means no admixture of oil, lard, or other unseen meat elements. It is still wrong to discriminate on the basis of creed/caste but in this, it is only Indian English.

Another user entered to say, “I get your point. But technically ‘Pure Veg’ doesn’t mean all other foods are impure. That term was ‘pure food.'”

I get your point. But technically, “Pure Veg” doesn’t mean that all other foods are impure. This term was “pure food”

“Better to offer in advance than every person to come and ask..and how eating non-vegetarian food is a choice. Eating vegan food and running vegan-only restaurants is also a personal choice.. you can’t deny it.

Better to show before hand than every person come and ask..and how non-vegetarian eating is a choice..eating vegan and running a vegan-only restaurant is also a personal choice..you can’t deny it
