Removing The Egg From The Salad Emoji, Google Angers Non-Vegans

A small change can spark a huge controversy. This can happen it involves big names and philosophy.

To meet Android P, tech giant Google added hundreds of new emojis, and tweaked some existing ones. A Google spokesperson confirmed that the change to the salad emoji was made to improve "inclusion".

Here, Google has quietly changed its salad emoji to make it vegan.

Before, the salad emoji contained some leafy greens, sliced tomato and a hard-boiled egg. The update removed the egg so that the salad becomes a more suitable emoji for vegans. This tiny tweak has sparked anger among internet users, in which they've shared their opinions on social media networks.

What they are trying to say is that, Google is guilty for "excluding non-vegans."

Jennifer's tweets were quickly rounded on by angry emoji enthusiasts.

Realizing that her tweet has sparked some debate, Jennifer clarified by saying:

Besides the controversial egg salad emoji, Google has also included some gender-neutral emojis. For example, there is a family icon with two gender-neutral parents, rather than a clear man and woman icons.

What's more, Google is also making some of its emojis a bit more fun to see.
