[Avodah] Are Vegan Restaurants Kosher?

[Ben Waxman]

Frankly I don't understand the question. One of the main reasons we 
demand hasgacha on a meat restaurant is because we don't believe the 
owner's word when he says "Don't worry, all the ingredients are Badatz". 
The same would apply with a vegan place. Maybe he fries up his french 
fries in lard. Maybe the sauce has butter in it. Maybe he bought lettuce 
directly from the secular kibbutz.
