Burger King stupidity over its meat-free whopper

[Lycidas]

Why go to the effort of creating a meat-free burger only to cook it on the same grill as the others? Why limit your market to ‘people who are choosing a meatless option but don’t mind if it’s covered in meat juices?’ Seems incredibly shortsighted to me to overlook a large segment of the vegetarian/vegan markets.

I’m a vegetarian and no I wouldn’t buy this.

You know the most boring thing about threads that touch on veganism or any other ethical stance? The amount of people who suddenly pipe up about sweatshop labour as if it is entirely beyond their ken that anyone else in the entire world could have heard about the issue and be concerned about it. And it ONLY EVER comes up in order to get at someone else.

No-one ever starts a thread to raise awareness but they're suddenly really concerned about the issue in threads about OTHER subjects if someone has an ethical stance on that. And this is why the world is shit.

Well done, well done.

For the record, all my clothes except underwear are secondhand, and much of that is bought from the most fair trade production source I could find, which is Amnesty. amnestyshop.org.uk/clothing-accessories/clothing/underwear-socks-hosiery.html?p=1

Now what are you doing about it, except using it as a stick for beating vegans with?

P.S. no blood diamonds, no flights, stopping using Amazon since the recent reveals, do eat avocadoes, do have a smart phone. Been vegan for 30+ years.
