ATLANTA, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Dear Vegetarians;
We respect you. We respect your life decisions. With that in mind, we want it to be abundantly clear that this letter is not meant to sway or convert you. Were sharing this to offer our support.
Nearly a year ago, we embarked on a journey to tell America about our meats. By now, youve likely heard the Arbys tagline: We Have The Meats®. Its tough to hear, but it is what it is. We have many meats. And we have quality meats.
It is understandable that you disapprove of our meat-bravado. Your voices have been heard. Letters, emails, voicemails, Tweets and Facebook comments we hear you. We love our meats, but realize theyre not for everyone.
Then on Sunday, June 28, we launched a meat innovation that has likely tempted you: Brown Sugar Bacon. Its our pepper bacon, glazed in-restaurant with brown sugar and then cooked to perfection. It may be hard to resist even for you. Hardcore vegetarians likely wont budge, but for those of you who are on the fringe or new to the game, avoidance cant be easy.
We, at Arbys, have created this temptation. So, wed like to help.
Were giving you a number to call: 1-855-MEAT-HLP. This is a Vegetarian Support Hotline. When your nose betrays you and alerts the rest of your senses to find and devour this sweet meat, please call 1-855-MEAT-HLP. You will receive the support you need to resist this gateway meat and get tips on how to avoid temptation. Delicious. Sizzling. Temptation.
Be strong. Were here for you.
Sincerely, Arbys

Went to Arby’s once in my life. I was 7 years old. I don’t recall what I had, but I was violently ill for 2 days after. I’ve never gone back.
Last time I saw Arby’s it looked like grade Z meat, so I’m not sure they should be bragging.
Nice to see someone stand up to bullying tactics. It doesn’t happen often enough (which is one reason why people are impressed with Trump).
Although their current commercials are extremely annoying, they do have some pretty tasty meats.
Arby’s and Taco Bell are the only fast foods I still eat. Arby’s is a bit pricey. Taco Bell is, quite simply, cheap bulk. But it’s tasty bulk.
Don’t laugh Mr Ed.. Arby’s just placed an order with your owner.
That first bite is a doozy.
Totally agree...
Went to Arbys once in my life. I was 7 years old. I dont recall what I had, but I was violently ill for 2 days after. Ive never gone back.
It's been a number of years now, so I don't remember exactly where I'd heard it first, but ARBY's means:
America's
Real
Bacteria
Yes
Sir!
Ate there once back in the late 80's. Like you, I got violently ill about 12 hours later.
I did go back some years ago to try their "market fresh sandwiches" which were actually darn good!
No ARBY's left near me, not sure where they went.
FWIW, Arby’s Classic Beef is $3 around here, and is a lot of beef, seems pretty good quality. I’m fussy about what breads I’ll eat, and they have a healthy marble rye option.
I am a vegetarian (not vegan);however, that doesn’t inhibit me from applauding Arby’s for taking a stand as they see fit.
I spent almost 10 years in the Advertising field so responses such as Arby's are of course, in and of themselves an extension of their marketing and branding. It takes a certain amount of bravado to pull it off, I think Arby's did that quite successfully here.
I go to Arby’s just for the Horsey Sauce
I hope to God the person who wrote that is female, because I want to marry her.
HA!....take that vegans!
The Arby’s we frequent is great! Love the Horsey sauce!
“Gateway meat” hilarious!
I had one a couple of hours ago just because of the TV ad.
It was too sweet, but worth the experience.
And, they have a good cherry pastry.
Get a bag of Arby’s Jr. No fries, just sandwiches and sauce. Best deal going ‘cept for Braum’s Bag-o-Burgers. When we cut hay or have a bunch of guys out building something a Bag-o-Burgers for each is what I get when I go to town.
