Loving Hut is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, vegan restaurant chains out there. The food is good, the atmosphere is meant to bring peace, so what’s the issue? The owner is allegedly a cult leader. She claims to be the next Jesus, Buddha, or Mohammed—a great, spiritual leader. Loving Hut may not just be a restaurant, but a front.

0:46.0	so we walked into this restaurant owned by a flamboyant woman,
