Ex-Plant-Based Clean Kitchen Closes Last Remaining Restaurant in London After Adding Meat to Menu

Clean Kitchen Club, a former plant-based restaurant chain in London, closed its last remaining location at Battersea Power Station after adding meat to its menu. The decision to serve meat led to the departure of many vegan customers, contributing to the downfall of the business. Co-founder Verity Bowditch, who left due to the shift away from a fully plant-based menu, emphasized her commitment to animal welfare.

Similarly, Sage Regenerative Kitchen & Brewery in Los Angeles faced closure after transitioning from a vegan menu to one that included animal products, under the guise of "regenerative agriculture." This shift alienated customers who were aware of the negative impacts of animal agriculture on animals, the environment, and human health. This trend highlights the risks of abandoning a plant-based philosophy in the food industry, as evidenced by the closures of these establishments.
