Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 This is such a great topic for discussion! I am always looking for unique (but not too unique) lunches to pack! I have 3 girls and my oldest just began first grade. So far, there doesn't seem to have been any problem in terms of the way she eats vs. the other children (other than the fact that the staff hands out candy right and left as ridiculous rewards all day long...another story). I do not allow her to buy cafeteria lunches (for obvious reasons) and I tell her that they are unhealthy, they are made with chemicals, and they always include meat, and we don't eat meat. Thankfully, this doesn't seem to bother her (yet??). She said that someone asked her why she doesn't " buy " and she told them it was because the lunches are " gross and unhealthy " . I love it! Instead, I pack her all time favorite sandwich: tomato and spinach with mayo (we are lacto-ovo veg). Other things I've tried with success are pb & j or honey (cut into fun shapes with a cookie cutter), hummus and pita wedges, veggie burgers, quesadillas with beans and cream cheese--I include organic tortilla chips and salsa as a side with it and she loves it. Pumpernickel bread (or another flavorful whole grain bread) with cream cheese and cukes is another one that she likes. As far as McDonald's goes...we do eat there about once per month (typically on a play-date sort of occasion) and I order the girls " cheeseburger Happy Meals with no meat on the cheeseburgers " ...add the apple wedges instead of the fries and an apple juice or -- for a splurge, a lemonade-- and it is an OK meal. I order myself a Big Mac with no meat. My kids do not drink soda and have never had it, so this is a non-issue here. I get funny looks sometimes from the employees, but it is rare that I have had a screwed up order. Burger King has an awesome " whopper with cheese and no meat " (don't say " veggie whopper " as they do have a veggie burger that is less than good). The BK sandwich has fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cheese, and the condiments --it is great. I get my kids a whopper jr with cheese and no meat when we eat there. Both places will still charge me for the sandwich as if it had meat on it, and while this bugs me, at least I'm able to get this special request honored. I look forward to reading about other healthy, veg lunches! --krissi - Thursday, September 16, 2004 12:33 PM Digest Number 964 > > There are 9 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 some of our favorite school lunchs are egg salad on pita, apple flowers (spoonful of p-nut butter in the middle of a sandwich container then apple slices coming out like petals. you can alternate carrots and/or pretzel sticks between the apples) and leftovers in a thermos (chili, mac-n-cheese etc) and I agree, the BK whooper with cheese, no meat is the best Fast food alternitive for adults. Mcdonald's and all these other resterants and their " atkins friendly " salads have irked me. All those salads and still I'm eating a bun with processed cheese. You think they could sell the salad by itself, and then let the meat-eaters add chicken (if they want to). BK and subway tried, with their little veggie patties, but I can't be happy until they're edible. But they have video games in the happy meal, go figure! As far as McDonald's goes...we do eat there about once per month (typically on a play-date sort of occasion) and I order the girls " cheeseburger Happy Meals with no meat on the cheeseburgers " ...add the apple wedges instead of the fries and an apple juice or -- for a splurge, a lemonade-- and it is an OK meal.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Here in Canada the veggie burgers at BK are yummy! My son and I love them. They are also dairy and egg free if you get it with no mayo.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I haven't tried the BK veggie burgers yet as the BK closest to me refuses to microwave or broil the veggie burgers away from their regular burgers. They actually didn't understand what I was saying when I tried to explain why. This was when they first came out and I just haven't gone back and tried them since. What I was wondering though was does anyone know if the buns are vegan that the BK veggie burgers are served on?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 After reading several posts about going to McD's. I wanted to mention that they still pre-fry their fries in lard. They do this before they get to the stores. So the store will tell you that they are fried in veg. oil there. I haven't been there since I became veg. 23 yrs. ago. The fast food my son eats is BK veggie, Subway veggie sand., and Taco Bell Bean Burritos. That is maybe once a month or less. We are lucky to have a fair number of ethnic places and some restaurants that offer veg. friendly meals.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 The BK veggie burger buns have a small amount of a butter derivative on top. I think it may be to keep the sesame seeds to stick better. However, I am not sure of that reasoning. --Tracy > haven't tried the BK veggie burgers yet as the BK closest to me refuses to > microwave or broil the veggie burgers away from their regular burgers.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 the buns are like 99.9% vegan. Erik Marcus of www.erikmarcus.com a vegan author has promoted the almost vegan burger for Burger King and urged vegans to eat it to further promote fast food places to offer more veggie and vegan foods for consumers. He said to request it be microwaved and hold mayo. Also by asking that they hold the mayo that will insure you that they aren't just handing something prewrapped.. that they actually prepared it for you. I read Erik's book " Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating " and I don't see a problem with eating the burger. But they should put fresh lettuce and tomato and stuff on it if they want people to eat it on a regular basis.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Also, If you live near a Wendy's, they fry the fries with the chicken nugget things, so we don't eat their fries. We're lucky to live near a Sonic. Their (extremly greasy) grilled cheese are not grilled with the burgers, and they only put (non-lard) fries in their fryer. But fast food, to me, is barely food So, yeah, once a month is more than enough.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think you have to check out the particular Wendy's. The ones near us use separate fryers for the meat products and the fries until about 6:00 when they go down to one fryer. How do I know this? My brother-in-law worked there. It probably is different depending on the Wendy's you go to, but the two near me use this practice.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Gayle, Try visiting www.ErikMarcus.com He has info on that . It also has info on reporting locations that refuse to microwave them on request.
