Why would a vegan be looking for a Chicken Caesar?

She should be worked up if she wants completely animal-free meals.

You ate a $1000 Kobe beef steak from Kansas? (Where I am from we call that a "Kansas steak".)

In my experience, veganism is not common in Japan. It isn't a question of "trust" but a question of awareness.

Everyone is in their own world. Only elitists would blame people for not being aware of their personal belief system.
Ugh, do I have to go through and explain every point here?

1) Salads in Japan tend to be like salads in Europe; as in a dish that exemplifies a few choice ingredients.
2) Chicken Caesar was meant to point out that salads in the US are giant and hardy and I mentioned in the same sentence she would not care about it.
3) A lot of beef deemed Kobe comes from Kansas.
4) She should not be worked up because she will do just fine as a vegan in Japan, regardless of the expense.
5) Don't 'trust' people to be aware.
6) Elitists often like to call others 'elitist.'
