FYI - In-N-Out Burger & Burger King - San Ramon

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

 

I went to In-N-Out Burger in San Ramon today and asked if they had veggie

burgers. They said " yes, " but then explained that it did not include a

veggie patty - so it's basically just lettuce, tomato, and a bun. This was a

bit of a disappointment, since I can order a burger and then say " hold the

burger " just about anywhere.

 

The veggie burger offered at Burger King in San Ramon, however, includes an

actual veggie patty (tasty, with recognizable vegetable bits) for $1.99.

I tend to agree here. This is a good opportunity to introduce

vegetarianism to the mainstream. If a big corporation like BK is trying

to cater to the veg*n community, it lessens the freakish/outside-the-norm

perceptions.

 

And by involving such corporations more in the veg*n community, it gives

them an incentive to continue. In a word: marketing. For example, if BK

doesn't sell enough of their veggie burgers, they'll drop them and say it

wasn't economically viable, and probably marginalize the veg*n voice

because the dollars simply aren't there for them to bother to listen.

But show them how much a market they're missing out on....
