Lawsuit claims Burger King's Impossible Whoppers are contaminated by meat
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."
The lawsuit filed in Miami federal court seeks damages for all U.S. purchasers of the Impossible Whopper, and an injunction requiring Burger King to "plainly disclose" that Impossible Whoppers and regular burgers are cooked on the same grills.
[...] Its website describes the Impossible Burger as "100% Whopper, 0% Beef," and adds that "for guests looking for a meat-free option, a non-broiler method of preparation is available upon request."

VERY nice tarring you did there. Where are your feathers?
No, not all vegans are extremists. But then again, you've already admitted you wanted to be lumped into a category where you are no smarter than a wolf or bear, so I guess that's understandable.

Didn't say I was vegan or even vegetarian, dude. Nice try.
And you need to read that article a little more closely in addition to my original post, too!
By the way, Jeffery Dahmer was a meat eater. So was Charles Manson. They had mental problems. So what does that say about you?

And you're just trying to sound smart on the Internet by making completely irrelevant and pointless associations about intelligence and choice of diet. Fuck you too.
And by the way, I have more admiration and respect for creatures like wolves and bears than for little fucktards like you.
