    I’d argue that more or less every restaurant already has at least one vegan ‘option’, although not necessarily a good one. If they have french fries with ketchup, or bread and margarine, they already comply with a hypothetical law.

    And I don’t see any way to mandate “offer at least one delicious option” as that’s up for debate and nothing objective.

    I guess more and more restaurants are adding vegetarian and vegan options nowerdays purely because there’s a demand for it. If there’s a group of five looking for a restaurant where only one of the group is a vegan, most groups will pick a restaurant that caters everyone’s needs. Thus, having no such option will result in less customers and less income.

      It doesn’t have to be delicious, but it should contain most of the essential nutrients, at least similar to the non-vegan options. “French fries with ketchup” doesn’t meet this requirement.

        I think there are many fast food restaurants out there where ‘just fries with ketchup’ is the healthiest choice. E.g. I doubt that fries with Frikandel in the Netherlands or a German Sausage is much healthier than the fries alone. Sure, there’s a little added protein but the fat and nitrosamines negate these small benefits.
