My veg head friend and I used to frequent a food truck. He said they had the best veggie burgers, I knew why too. They fried them in bacon fat.

The fact is there is NEVER going to be a truly 100% vegan burger.
Even water has microscopic animals in it.
I know of some Orthodox Jews who would filter NYC water, because the miniature insects in it would definitely be non-kosher.
You can try, but NO food is completely insect-free.

It might have been here on FR, but someone mentioned a Muslim friend who enjoyed pizza.
Someone mentioned that pepperoni contains pork and he became very sad.
"That's a shame. I loved it so much."

Just more media BS
Veggie Burgers are often made in hamburger plants that process meat, albeit under different regulations. If human hands picked or processed those beans, onions, carrots, etc... then human DNA could likely be found on them.

I’m vegan and have never had one of these things. I get so amused at vegans and vegetarians who eat processed food like veggie burgers. Most I’ve met are the unhealthiest eaters.

Why the human DNA? spit? poopy? chopped off fingers? plants genetically engineered with human DNA?

For every year the detection systems get better, we can measure minuscule quantities of any substance. Statistically, my beer contains molecules that once were in the body of Cleopatra.
