Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Burger King sells a veggie burger now and they're not bad. Have them skip the mayonnaise though to reduce fat. Bean Burritos at Taco Bell are made with No Lard beans, so they're not terrifically high in fat.

One should make a point of asking them to hold the cheese or expect them to be high-fat. Subway's veggie delight sandwich is wonderful. Get a six inch and hold the mayo and cheese for the healthiest best tasting fast food option. ~ PT ~ Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody. ~ John Churton Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I agree! Subway is the healthiest fast food resturant that's popular. There's some others that are like Subway though.

True, but they?re almost definitely not vegetarian, as well as the Subway sandwiches mentioned. There is rennet in a lot of cheese. Cornstarch in baking powder and wheat in bread and tortillas, yeast in bread, soybeans in mayonnaise, tomatoes, onions, and peppers, are all genetically engineered, and most manufactured food has a lot of other ingredients. Often they are made from soybeans and corn, probably the most genetically engineered items. 100% vegetarian manufactured food is actually pretty hard to come by. I would recommend never eating at any fast food place. Personally, I don?t care that I go hungry when that is all that is around. Eventually, I find a grocery store or something with vegetarian food.

I do know that it is coming. Also, I have not heard about the onions and the peppers either and from what I understand, the Flavr- Savr tomato was taken off the market. (another good reason here to encourage labelling of GMO foods---we don't even know what is being modified and what is not!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not being done yet, but is coming. http://www.thecampaign.org/education/brochuregrowth.php more information on what is being engineered. www.thecampaign.org is an excellent resource on this topic.

It's not being done yet, but is coming. OK....let me clarify here........GMO wheat of course IS being done, but is not currently approved for sale yet. So, they are doing it, but it's not being sold in supermarkets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
