Under. How stooped can u be?
 
A vegan is suing Burger Ding for cooking the “Impossible” Burger on the same grill as the meat ones. DUH!

Never was it advertised as for Vegans.

A response from the supplier says tha you can ask for it to nuked. Ummmm good.

Went to the family pizza place a couple of weeks ago and the server was complaining that a customer had demanded a vegan pizza...
How in the heck does that work?

Maybe they can set up a George Foreman grill on top of the trash receptacles.

Alright. I sort-of understand the vegan's perspective. You're buying a meat-free burger out of principle.
BUT you're in f-in Burger King! If you're really worried about contamination don't you think it should be on you to check whether it's cooked on the same grill BEFORE you eat it? I mean, they're not advertising that it's suitable for vegans, only that it's a plant-based burger. Does it really matter anyway? Sure, avoid meat products for your conscience, but (again) you're in BURGER KING. What? You mean they've had meat products in the same building! I really don't see what damage has been done that couldn't be put right with "Oh. I'm sorry" and maybe refund the cost of the meal.
Bringing back dueling should resolve these stupid claims. Accept an apology face-to-face, or swords at dawn 'till first blood. Should be popular with vegans.

For the record, I actually like the 'Impossible' burgers. There was a restaurant here which did a blackened, pepper crusted impossible burger with blue cheese and blueberry dressing and it was delicious. Compared to the beef version, the impossible version seemed to have more flavor. Since the big chains have adopted the impossible burger, the small guys can't get them in sufficient quantity anymore.

Arizona_928 11-18-2019 05:13 PM

The really hardcore vegans I know did it more on principal of not supporting the meat industry.
When you look into it, it's kinda ****ed up of the treatment of the animals. Especially on how intelligent the animals are. People write dissertations on it.
Cooked on the same grill.... Lol retarded

Is it stated on the menu that it’s not compatible with a vegan diet?
The lawsuit is BS. Just write to the management and move on.

Jim Richards 11-18-2019 05:32 PM

I just have to take a contrary position on something here. You’re Burger King. You offer both possible (people eat tasty animals) burgers, and impossible (better living thru chemistry) burgers, the latter using plant substances! You’re Burger Effing King! You’re the master of your domain! How could you...how could you cook your tasty burgers on the same grill as those plant-based thingies? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...s/pukeface.gif

I feel for people with dietary issues or those who choose certain diets but this is bs. My oldest daughter owns an Italian restaurant. Everything is cooked in butter, cream, etc. She does offer gluten free dough on some things but not pasta as her husband the chef makes it all scratch. The baker makes gluten free anyway so doing the pizza's is pretty easy. The number of people who come in and demand a vegan dish is few but they are pushy as all hell. She basically has to tell them to go somewhere else and makes a few recommendations and is relieved when they walk out the door.

You can't be a vegan and eat a veggie burger with the bun. The buns are made with milk and eggs. I tried vegan for about a week. Can't be done. At least not for me.

sc_rufctr 11-18-2019 07:04 PM

I love a good old fashioned burger. The vegan thing (according to my vegan friend) is about not being cruel to animals.
I'm OK with that but I refuse to feel guilty for doing something that we've always done.

Also, a few years ago I lived with a vegetarian. We had two refrigerators side by side in the kitchen.
Guess who was paying the electricity bill. :rolleyes:

Pazuzu 11-18-2019 08:21 PM

You guys are using the word "grill" a lot here...Um...Burger King hasn't had a "grill" in a LONG time.

Now, they do have a sterilized metal heated surface which imparts some heat and color to processed meat-stuffs, and then they have some plastic trays that hold the meat-stuffs until they get cold, then they have a microwave to make the meat-stuffs lava hot before putting the meat-stuffs into a bag where they then become cold again...


But they ain't got no grill.

Bill Douglas 11-18-2019 08:48 PM

I think Burger King should sue the bit** for trying to cast them in a bad light intentionally.

Not always.
My son has rheumatoid arthritis. He was faced with drug infusions every few months at a cost of over $500 each (to him, over and above insurance), plus taking a day off for it, plus the daily drugs. At the suggestion of his doctor he tried an animal protein-free diet. It worked. Inflammation is way down and he only takes one drug.
He doesn't exactly like the diet, but it's better than the alternative.
He loves the Burger King veggie burger.

Great news about your son Patrick. A dietary change is much better than drugs.

Yes. He was a major carnivore, too. Big change for him. It pisses him off when he's at a restaurant going over the menu, asking the server questions as he's looking for an animal protein-free meal and people think he's some kind of tree hugger.

There may well be many valid reasons to be a vegetarian, or even a vegan. That is not what this thread is about. It is like going to a donut shop and demanding a gluten free sugar free donut.

This moron when to Burger King, and expected a vegan meal.

The judge needs to charge the attorney that represents him with all court costs of Burger King. And then fine the idiot with contempt of common sense, and sentence him to 50 hours of working at a food line serving food to poor and homeless people.

Wow, people are crazy. I wonder how many vegans find themselves at Fogo de Chao?

FYI, it is possible to make tasty gluten free pasta. I did it about 23 years ago with a recipe from a book. It was surprisingly good.

But I'm not suggesting that they start to make gluten free pasta.

I got no problem with what people choose to put in their gut.
Bully to them.
As noted by others, sometimes this is for medical preferences or medical necessity.

I also got no problem with restaurants catering a menu to their clientele.
Bully to them too.

That particular legal situation is like walking off a pier and blaming the sun g-d and everyone underneath.
Praise Darwin!

Turns out scorpions and mites are not insects either, but still invertebrate animals . Sea sponges and corals are also animals.

My opinion is that a true vegan is hard to find. It's a tough row. The list of things vegans have to eliminate is way comprehensive.

I've been a jack vegetarian since 1985. I guess I'm in the category of ovo vegetarian and even that is not easy if I were really dedicated. But I avoid meat. I think Patrick's son is a good example of why dietary exploration is important. There was a recent study (maybe cited here, IDR) that showed why a certain tribe of Aborigines were in extreme declining health. They were derived of their ancestorial diet of primarily "catches" of land and sea. Instead, they were eating mostly processed foods, were obese and in general, not doing well at all. I tend to think that our heredity has a lot to do with what our food intake should be. IOW, one diet doesn't fit all. This is the problem with our society today. You think you have a lot of options but when you get home with the grocery bags it's more or less the same as last week and full of processed and convenient food. Just a very short example and thought: we don't churn our own butter. What's in store butter? That list goes forever.


The hardcore vegan I know won't even step on them. Living creature augment.
Interesting guy and I admire the dedication. I couldn't do it.

Burger King is defending itself against a class-action lawsuit over its Impossible Whopper, arguing that it never advertised the popular meatless item as vegan or promised to cook them any particular way.

The burger chain is currently in a legal battle against a vegan customer who sued the company in November for cooking the plant-based patties on the same grills as meat burgers.

In a court filing on Thursday, Burger King said the lawsuit should be thrown out because plaintiff Phillip Williams should have asked how Impossible Whoopers were cooked before ordering, Reuters reports.


VEGANS SUE BURGER KING'S IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER, CLAIM PATTY WAS CONTAMINATED BY MEAT IN CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT: REPORT

Williams said his Impossible Whopper was “coated in meat by-products” after purchasing the burger at an Atlanta drive-thru. He and vegans all over the country became outraged at Burger King’s cooking practices.

Williams "assumed that an Impossible Whopper would satisfy his own particularly strict form of veganism ... solely because he asked a Burger King restaurant employee to 'hold the mayo,'" Burger King said. "This claim has no basis."

What’s more, the company said Williams would have known how the Impossible Whopper was prepared had he done the “smallest amount of investigation” on its website or by reading media reports.

Reminds me of Jay Leno's joke about John Kerry's wife Theresa Hines, heiress to the Heinz Ketchup empire: "Theresa Hines accompanies Presidential candidate John Kerry to a McDonald's during the campaign, to show what a 'regular guy' he is. She orders "pheasant". Ba dum bum!
