Feeding meat to a vegan: legal views from a libertarian or classic-liberal perspective

There is a small outrage in the vegan community. A chef decided to serve meat to vegans and claim it's vegan. Laura Goodman as the chef is named managed to make the newspapers such as Metro and the Daily Mail with it. And her Google Maps review went down to zero. The incident occurred 30th December 2017.

The FB page of the restaurant is down. The group managed to know thanks to the chef herself. Proudly posting the content within a Facebook group.

Now how does the legal side of this actually work? Well as most of us know a lot of the western law is based on the classic-liberal philosophy. So we are going to look at what did she do and what she claimed to sell.

The group called in advance to inform if vegan options were possible. The restaurant said yes. And did prepare the food. However, it did not serve it that way. So how does this violate classic-liberal ethics?

1. fraud, she claimed to prepared the food a certain way but did not serve it that way.

2. Knowingly and willing violating the conscious of the costumer trough deceiving. Creating damage to that costumers conscious on purpose.

So 1 is an obvious crime within every western country. 2 seems a little more complex. but it is easy to explain. We have to look at John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism. And we are going to one simple argument of him the harm-principle short to the saying 'freedom to swing your first end's at my nose'

So I need a small expansion on this. She can say about vegans whatever she wants. Believe me, we know better. She forced this vegan group by deception to eat meat.
