No legit serious vegan would step foot inside Burger King. The 'Impossible Burger' isn't even vegan to start with! https://www.peta.org/blog/why-it-is-impossible-for-peta-to-g...

For one thing, according to the Burger King website, it has mayonnaise on it. Assuming this is traditional mayonnaise, that means eggs.

Obviously, you can ask them to leave that off, but If a food is not vegan in its default configuration, you should probably think carefully about whether they're even trying to achieve vegan compliance.

This talks about testing on animals, which is not condoned in ethical veganism, but superficially it is vegan.

Animal testing is not now, or has ever been, considered vegan. Veganism isn't a diet.

I don't at all agree with PETA or veganism. But these are valid points - the article title makes it sound like all the "VEGANS" are suing when no real vegan (nor carnivore) would set foot in BK. Nope they are the unethical ambulance chasing lawyers and git-rich-quick idiots that are suing.

I do disagree with the vegan crowd, but they are at least moral and largely consistent in their own beliefs so fine by me as long as they stay the F* out of my life.

But lawyers and idiots like this really tick me off and I hope they have to pay court costs for this frivolous lawsuit and I hope BK does not pay them off one dime.
