ABC Show’s Vegan Set-Up

Veganism will be a central focus of tonight’s episode of ABC’s candid-camera show What Would You Do?, which puts unsuspecting participants in awkward social situations that test their patience and ethics. The upcoming episode tests diners as they overhear a conversation at a New Jersey restaurant between a vegan family and two nosy omnivores who try to convince the young vegan daughter to eat meat. The omnivorous diners insist that the child eat a hot dog when her mother briefly leaves the table, and other patrons—oblivious to the fact that they are being set up by actors—step up to intervene. The show airs tonight at 9pm Eastern.
