How were they? Did they say their fries contain no
wheat or dairy? You don't know that. You don't know
*any* of the facts of the case.

The "vegan" has no case. You can hold whatever
****witted "spiritual code" you want; it is not
"violated" by McDonald's including dairy in its

so-called "spiritual code" respected.
