i am very curious as to what would be in that veggie burger...

honestly 99% of all fast food sickens me. especialy burgers. and, knowing burger king and other fast food chains much like it, the veggie burger would probly (if even REALLY meatless) be just as unhealthy as their "meat" burgers.

so..as for the PETA. if they want to support the veggie burger then fine. but by supporting the veggie burger they will be supporting burger king and it shall make even more money then before by feeding people utter shit.

meh.

I don't know. But I'd avoid it anyway. Fast food sucks. I eat meat, I love steak, I love drumsticks, but fast food I will avoid whenever I can.

They're telling them to eat the Veggie burger at BK, not to eat at BK. Progress comes a step at a time.


Of course, I'm a bonafide animal eater, so what do I know?

what should it matter? maybe they're hoping if it's a success then other food stores will catch on and lead to the end of violent meat eaters slaughtering the innocent animals of the world to fill unquenchable lusts for a large tender piece of meat...*shrugs* or not

I dont like BK veggie burgers, they are revolting. Mind you so is meat to me.. cept chicken, like chicken


A golden energy
Was rising out of my head
I shed my evil skin
And found myself again

I was wrong, I don't mind
The impossible seems possible
This time I'm an electric wire
If the sun can radiate then so can I

I can eat some fast-food. There are some things I'll eat at Wendy's, Subway, Taco Bell, Popeyes, Checker's, or Jerry's. I can't really eat anything at BK or McDonalds, though.

Wendy's, Subway, and Arby's is fine, IMO...the rest I tend to avoid unless its impossible...

McDonalds has too much power.

Big Fast Food must fall the same way Big Tobacco needed/needs to.
