"""Vegan eating, day by day.

Every place here exists in OpenStreetMap or HappyCow with the coordinates given.
Nothing is invented. `v` records how strong the evidence is, because that matters
more than usual on an island this hard for vegans:

  vegan    fully vegan / plant-based kitchen
  options  vegan dishes confirmed (OSM diet:vegan=yes, or a HappyCow listing)
  ask      vegetarian-friendly; vegan needs asking for (OSM diet:vegetarian=yes)
  shop     organic supermarket, greengrocer or market — the self-catering backbone
