That is rude and uncalled for.

How is that rude? You can't get around the fact that bananas are vegan.

The question is not whether a banana is vegan, but whether it constitutes a meal.

In particular, think of this in the context of the customer experience.

So they should have given her two bananas?

That is a meal for a vegan.

Apparently airlines also think a banana is a good gluten free meal.

"Perhaps you'd feel different if you were served a big sausage." - if this were Reddit.

Vaguely implying cock was rude, and it sucks that vegans tend to get offered slabs of Gouda in place of meals. A banana doesn't even come close to a lunch, that's like offering an omnivore a piece of beef jerky.

Wait, so its not PC to give people bananas anymore because it resembles a part of a male?

This is absurd.

To me it was the terse wording that gave rise to the implication, combined with that a banana isn't a meal. "Sounds right for HER diet."

That part was not meant as a critique of the airline.
