Vegan Sues Burger King Because Impossible Burgers Are Contaminated with Actual Meat
2019-11-19
h/t Instapundit
...Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless "Impossible" Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.

In a proposed class action, Phillip Williams said he bought an Impossible Whopper, a plant-based alternative to Burger King’s regular Whopper, at an Atlanta drive-through, and would not have paid a premium price had he known the cooking would leave it "coated in meat by-products."

...I hope this serves as a lesson to corporate America: You just can't please vegans, because if they were capable of happiness, they wouldn't be vegans. You can't cater to them -- in this case literally -- because their entire philosophy is anti-human. They're ashamed of their own existence on this planet, and that shame has turned them into totalitarian wackjobs. Trying to sell things to them will only backfire. Your best option is just to ignore them.

#12  At no point in the commercials do they advertise as vegan, or vegetarian, or even nutritious.

Had to look that up, make sure you didn't mean prairie chips.

#11  ^ The real buddha rejected vegetarianism as a virtue, Magpie. He only suggested consideration for animals and moderation. Not all of them are vegetarians. Some buddhist omnivores will rather 'respect' the meat on the table, now that it's dead - they'll just finish it off right quick.

#10  If the litigious one is something other than a Buddhist the proper reply is "Sod Off, Swampy!"

#9  Burns for a bit longer. I order from a local who sells a mix of wood and coconut. People put in just coconut blocks, because of the lesser amount of smoke and easy cleaning, but I prefer the mix.

#7  Wagyu lean cut, wood and coconut blocks. And cheese by Kraft. The wife makes the bread. It's something of an event for the family.

#5  Burger King where I live means a silly 1/2 inch chicken patty and some stupid sauce between two warmish buns. The chicken always tastes like it died of a broken heart. And for the price of swiss chocolate.

If I want a good cheeseburger, I make my own.

#4  So, I could sue that this questionable non-meat product contaminated by burger? Flame on!

He's complaining about the fat that comes off of normal hamburgers during cooking. A) Why, yes - it's cooked on the same fucking flattop grill as everything else and b) it's the only flavor that fake burger's ever gonna have.

I haven't been to a BK since they started shoving this horseshit down our throats. The day they remove the fake burger from their menu is the day I go back.

Screw this - I'm cooking steak-tip chili tonight!

#1  Rope, lamp post, some assembly required.

You just can't fix stupid and it shouldn't be remunerative.
