Pam anderson promoting KFC vegan burgers or Heather's BK burger will not draw in people who ideologically disagree with these corporations. and it's not just the fact that they sell meat - it's the way that the animals are treated and tortured at the farms which supply the meat to these fast food chains.

So yeah, surprised at that choice there BK. Maybe HM, in her manner, forced herself upon BK. As for BK's veggie burger, I actually like it (i'm vegetarian, not vegan, and I didn't overthink the ingredients the few times i've had it anyway). On the run it's a good quick source of protein. However, ingredients aside, even when a resto offers a veggie burger, you can't exactly guarantee that it's not been cooked on the same grill as the regular ones, thus picking up "meat-bits" etc. whoa Irm..

Because honestly,we do live w/contradictions;you make the best choices you can,but they are not perfect. It's similar to people acting as though,b/c herbs and holistic medicine don't 'always work',somehow they are not valid. Never m ind that chemo,or whatever drug rememdy for whatever disease,doesn't always (or even usually work)...but there is a double standard for any of the perceived out of the box stuff. I think it's retarded,literally,for people to be hostile towards vegans,and i've seen it-nothign to do w/PETA or radical antics. Same as when people are hostile towards feeding your children healthy or being strict about not feeding them chemicals,paints and poisons. The status quo'll kill you,i tell ya. Tangent aside,Mills is such an a*s,and a golddigger. Where is her kid? yea,Sting,Ellen/Portia,and Paul himself-they could do like those Gap ads,and have different stars star in the commercials/ads for the new vegan burger…that’d be cool!

She makes us all look bad. There are plenty of other ways to promote the BK (disgusting IMO) veggie burger (which I don't think is even vegan). As a vegan myself, I’m constantly annoyed at HM.

I remember taking my veggie nieces and nephews there and being suprised at how easy it was to eat veggie everywhere we went. Heather Mills is hated in the UK so this could be a bad business move for them if people choose to boycott. To my knowlege Burger King UK has had meatless burgers for 20 years or so.

Surely Alicia Silverstone or someone would have been a better fit than HM? Must have been a lot of coke...*ahem* I mean "cola" ingested at that meeting.

I have a friend who became a vegetarian after hitting am animal with her car. She cried for days and realized if she felt that badly about killing one accidentally, it didn't make sense to eat them. That's a logical connection to me. Losing your leg? Not so sure. I know the Burger King veggie burgers here are supposed to be pretty good as far as those things go (according to aforementioned vegetarian friend), but that's mostly because it's practically half mayonnaise. Which is definitely not vegan. TaylorB I found the leg loss = vegan thing strange too. I have a friend who became a vegetarian after hitting am animal with her car.
