Vegan burgers at Burger King

[Guest guest]

I think:1) It's good that Burger King and others have seen the emerging and growing market for vegetarian choices among consumers who purchase in fast food chains.2) It's good that consumers who purchase in fast food chains will have an opportunity to purchase meatless burgers.3) It's good that Burger King is likely to take market share from McDonald's, forcing McDonald's to offer their own variety of meatless burgers, too.4) It's good that Burger King realized the wisdom of making their veggieburger vegan-acceptable (sans the mayo, of course, and we don't know about the vegan-acceptability yet of the bun).5) It's not so good that conventional chains haven't yet seen the light on this issue. However, when the fast food chains and the grocdery stores "see the light," then the availability of vegetarian options (and hopefully also vegan options) will become nearly universal.6) I think that it's good that we are strongly and much more quickly now "becoming fully mainstream."
