Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 Hi, I have some birkenstock sandals too, but sadly don't find them comfortable. The top strap cuts into my ankle, and the foot bed isn't shaped for my 'celtic' type feet (where the big toe is not the longest toe -actually only my little toe is shorter than my big toe!). I bought them by post and never bothered sending them back. I wouldn't trust the BK burger to be truly veggie, even if the ingredients are right there's probably all sorts of cross-contamination going on.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 I've never been in a Burger King, and the only time I have been in MacDonalds is when I needed a loo! As you say, the only reason they do a veggie burger is to get the custom of veggies who don't think too much about their food. Jo > What do you thing of the veggie burguer of B.K.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 I always liked the Body Shop as it used to be the one reliable high street shop in the UK for cruelty-free soap, shampoo, etc. I was so glad of it in my early days as a veggie/vegan. Although she is not vegetarian, I did always hugely admire Anita Roddick for all the many worthwhile causes she has supported, including no animal testing and fair trade with third world countries, I thought she was quite holistic in her ethics and did care for vegans although not one herself. However they have gone downhill since no longer having a list of vegan products in the shop the way they used to do a few years ago, and a few weeks ago I noticed our local Body Shop had a collecting tin for cancer research and it was not one of the non-animal research charities, so I have mixed feelings about this company these days. Maybe I'm just getting more fussy, they are still more ethical than supermarkets, and I shop in those so I'd feel a hypocrite to avoid the Body Shop, however I buy less from them than I used to. I don't personally want to go into Burger King as such a huge proportion of what they do is meat. I did have a pair of lorica shoes from Green Shoes and they lasted well, never tried BIrkenstocks.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 Hi Lesley We buy a few items from there still, and as you say, they were one of the first ethical shops.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 i will not eat at BK i do not like fast food resturants, do not approve of the concept behind them... besides, burger king still does a million bad things, because they have a veggie burger, does not mean it wipes away all the horrible things they do i guess its good if you are just learning how to be veggie, and opens folks up to new things, but, i don't want to eat there not to mention, its not really vegan, you have to order it w/o the bun, no may, and have to ask it to be microwaved.. not worth it... cheers fraggle " ibizkus " <ibyza2001 wrote: >A few weeks ago I bought a nice pair of sandals, no leathear ! the >material is " birkoflor " the brand german, " birkenstock " >What do you thing of the veggie burguer of B.K.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 Ever since I have found out what corporations such as BK and McD's do and all the tangled webs of lies they spin, I refuse to donate to their pockets. Plus, I fear that their meat may leech onto my veggie burger. Who knows how the food is handled. They probably process it in the same plants much less who knows what else they have added. but, that's just me nikki > > What do you thing of the veggie burguer of B.K.
