Feeding meat to a vegan: legal views from a libertarian or classic-liberal perspective
There is a small outrage in the vegan community. A chef decided to serve meat to vegans and claim it's vegan. Laura Goodman as the chef is named managed to make the newspapers such as Metro and the Daily Mail with it. And her Google Maps review went down to zero. The incident occurred 30th December 2017.

The FB page of the restaurant is down. The group managed to know thanks to the chef herself. Proudly posting the content within a Facebook group.
Now how does the legal side of this actually work? Well as most of us know a lot of the western law is based on the classic-liberal philosophy. So we are going to look at what did she do and what she claimed to sell.
The group called in advance to inform if vegan options were possible. The restaurant said yes. And did prepare the food. However, it did not serve it that way. So how does this violate classic-liberal ethics?
fraud, she claimed to prepared the food a certain way but did not serve it that way.
Knowingly and willing violating the conscious of the costumer trough deceiving. Creating damage to that costumers conscious on purpose.
So 1 is an obvious crime within every western country. 2 seems a little more complex. but it is easy to explain. We have to look at John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism. And we are going to one simple argument of him the harm-principle short to the saying 'freedom to swing your first end's at my nose'
So I need a small expansion on this. She can say about vegans whatever she wants. Believe me, we know better. She forced this vegan group by deception to eat meat.

This is a reaction to this article in the daily mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5227937/Shropshire-chef-claims-spiked-vegan-meat.html
I can't believe someone would do this. After being vegan awhile, bodies don't digest meat the same either, so it's not only a moral issue but she is also possibly making her customer sick! I do understand her frustration that someone claiming to be vegan ordered something with cheese. I assume its someone who confuses vegetarian with vegan. I hope she did not actually "spike" the food as she claimed she did, but she should not of said that either, and being drunk isn't a good excuse. She should also not receive death threats for this either, but I do think she deserves lower ratings. I hope that one day someone who chooses to be vegan will be fully respected and not sabotaged. But in a legal view, spiked anyone's food is not ok! I know some people have been caught using dairy milk instead of almond milk at coffee shops and learned the person ordering is not only vegan, but had such a severe allergy it sends them to the hospital!
That is not the same. Giving peanuts to somebody with a nut allergy is attempted murder or GBH, this is like giving a Muslim pork to eat; a dick move, but not physically damaging.
It may be a dick move and the processing of the body has adjusted but not as extreme. As vegan I feel a certain obligation to make it harder for this company. Her costumer may have felt sick, the one time that I ate meat on accident it woesn't working out that well for me and mr toilet.
However, I would like to see a case against the place and see if my 2 statements I argue are found agreeable by the judge.
Yeah, I think your statements hold water. However, I don't feel I understand the judicial system...
Very interesting post @joeridamian I know its not possible but she should loose her cooking licence.
