If God hadn’t meant for animals to be eaten He wouldn’t have made them out of meat.

Burger King has had veggie burgers on the menu for years. Few order them (I’ve done it on Fridays during Lent). I’ve stopped going to BK ever since the Pride Whopper. The burgers went way downhill anyway (dry and flavorless, and smaller).

This is good marketing. As a business you try to deliver what the customer desires. If there are no sales, then the petitioners go away. If they do sell......win win.

Don’t get upset...Be reactive.

“Sir/Madame, how do you want your burger? We can do it with or without meat.”

“Our meat burgers are cheaper. But our without burgers consider the extra cost incurred because we don’t get a PETA discount for not using the pets they kill for you to eat.”

“We assure you that our meat burgers are produced from meat supplied and approved by the PETA folks.”

“Our veggie burgers are different. Our veggie burgers are more expensive and not as tasty as our meat burgers, but eating one will perhaps make you feel less guilty.”

Please be cautioned that all products that we provide will cause you to generate a turd eventually....Science has proven that turds are harmful to the environment, so we suggest that you deposit them where you will not step on them.

Thank you for allowing us to serve you!

“This is In-N-Out BURGER! The word “burger” is in its name for crying out loud, so why is it so important that vegans push the restaurant to serve something without a freaking burger in it? WHY? “


Ok. Define burger then. From Webster’s Dictionary:

Simple Definition of burger

: a food that is like a hamburger but that is not made from beef

Therefore it is illogical for the author to claim that In And Out Burger cannot serve a veggie-burger because their name is burger.

Don’t want to serve veggie burgers. It’s their business and they are free to sell what they like. Just like people are free to ask for a veggie burger.

Personally I’d rather eat a healthier option than something the body doesn’t need. Gardein burgers are amazing.

Or someone who cares about health and fitness. Nutrition isn’t a liberal vs conservative thing.

Lots of ignorance in this thread.

There are other places that offer this. They can go to those places. Or make their own.

Leftists do not create; they subvert.

1) The term, burger, derives etymologically from hamburger. The most obvious and sensible default meaning to anyone without an agenda is that it is composed of beef.

2) Petitioning is not asking. When I make a suggestion to a business, I ask. When I want to apply political pressure to a business, I petition. Petitioning is implicitly coercive, not courteous.

3) The original, and more common, Garden Burger, contained (contains?) casein, a protein fraction from bovine milk. It is not truly vegetarian, and many react adversely to Type A Casein.

(I have extensive experience in the natural foods industry, am a lifestyle nutritionist, and was vegan myself for five years. However, I never felt obliged to aggressively pressure any establishment to accommodate me and my diet. But then, I am a conservative, not a leftist.)

(See my previous post.)

I am not only not ignorant, but am expert in natural foods, nutritional supplementation, and vegetarian diet. (I am also published in the field.)

This is about free-market capitalism. If the vegans want something like In-And-Out that will cater to themselves, let them become entrepreneurs and create it.

But no: They are leftist in mentality: Co-opt and subvert what someone else already has.

If it is true that they are actually petitioning the chain, then that is aggressive and coercive. That is a typical leftist response to a business that is simply proceeding with focusing on its market as it set out to do - unlike Target, which sought to change the rules for its existing clientele in a dangerous and communistic fashion.

I care about personal nutrition far, far more than most. This is not about that. It is about the free market.

Political Correctness - which is a communist concept - has made too many Americans feel they are entitled to force their values on people who are just minding their own business.

Has In-And-Out crusaded against vegan diets? Have they actively sought to remove such competition from the marketplace?

No?

Then you are emphatically wrong: This is indeed a leftist versus rightist thing.

You and the rest can open your own chain, but leave In-And-Out alone to do business as they choose.

McDonald’s has recently folded repeatedly to such leftist pressure - and they have paid a high price in loss of market share.

Yeah, call it the In-N-Out Cud Sandwich !!

Funny how the vegan crowd can't take advantage of their proclaimed superiority to make a restaurant chain of their own work but want to dictate to successful businesses that they be catered to. Look at all the opportunity there is for some enterprising vegan twit to make a national Cud n' Suds chain.

They could even have a "Speedy Enema" shop in back in order to help spread all of the great Kellogg healthy eating gospel from the thrilling days of yesteryear.

Cows eat vegetables ergo, hamburgers have vegetables in them and I love vegetables.

Besides, you idiots. You can order a couple pieces of bread and load it with all the onions, pickles and lettuce you want from In & Out.

personally, I order my double burger with no bun, as I cannot stand the taste of white bread.

You can also order a grilled cheese...

but, a grain burger? Eff that...

Even though I like veggie burgers, when I got In & Out I want some hoof and fried tubors...
