Google removes egg from salad emoji to make it inclusive to vegans, the internet reacts
Google's salad emoji is now egg-free, and more inclusive for vegans.
This is according to Google UX Manager at Expression design team Jennifer Daniel, who tweeted about the change Wednesday, but likely didn't expect the amount of attention she got.

The tweet was accompanied by an image of said salad emoji, which consisted of lettuce, tomatoes and egg before, but now the egg is gone.

In a later tweet, Daniel clarified the decision to change the emoji.
"Hello carnivores, vegans and everyone in between! Just want to clarify that the goal of salad emoji redesign was to create an image more faithful to unicode's description. 'A bowl of healthy salad, containing lettuce, tomato, and other salad items such as cucumber.' Bon appetite," she wrote.
As several commenters to that tweet noticed, the new emoji does not seem to contain any cucumbers. We'll be watching closely for any salad emoji developments.
