Whether or not anyone's food actually needs refrigerating would depend on what it contained. After all the vegan food in the supermarket is usually refrigerated.
If I were a young lad again, and knowing my sense of humour, I'd wipe a slice of ham along a vegan's lunch, just for a laugh. Of course, they'd be none the wiser and probably wonder what I'm sniggering about!
Mind you, I'm much older now and have grown out of such childish activities.
Or have I?

Re: Special Fridge Shelf for Vegans?
I consider myself lucky - for many reasons but in the context of this subject - I love to cook and spend a lot of time at it. For family, friends and neighbours as well as for the homeless shelter I volunteer at every few weeks. I love vegetarian food although I'm not one. But I agree totally with Surfmom about the smell of meat. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and I won't allow smoking inside my house or the BBQ area at the back. It makes me feel sick. It's the same with vegos and vegans. The smell of meat makes them feel sick. So my point is why is there an argument about "minorities" ? It's just about mutual consideration coming half way so it's a win/ win for everybody. I shared houses with strict veg mates when I was at university. Everybody wrapped their food properly and meat was kept either in the freezer or cooked as soon as it was bought. Nobody fought about it. And there was no "dictatorship of the majority"..IT wasn't that hard.19-02-2020, 11:02 PM

As to your rather bizarre Brexit question Donkeyman your guess is incorrect! I am neither Leaver nor Remainer as I didn't vote and have little interest.
Shame on you.

Most carnivores and vegan/veggies get along quite nicely until the media throw out these antagonistic comments. It's just the same with racism and minority groups. Nobody likes to think that somebody else is getting special favours.....

I have tried to be vegan in the past, also veggie, then pescatarian. I managed to be pescatarian for over a year. The others don't suit me healthwise and having food allergies just makes it impossible now. I used to feel really bad about it all, but these days I have given up because whatever we do on this planet harms living beings or the planet. It's our nature. We should just accept our nature is not perfect.
As for having a separate shelf in a fridge, well I'd like to see that in practice. Because unless it's clearly a ham sandwich on the label how can anyone know what you have wrapped in foil? I have a number of vegan and veggie friends so I do understand how people feel about this but you cannot take it to extremes where you limit the rights of others in a public place.
