As a vegan, this lawsuit is upsetting. We should not be punishing companies for offering vegan food! And any vegan that cares about cross-contamination (many of us don't) already knows to ask. I hope they toss this lawsuit out and quick!

Considering that the Impossible Burger is not vegan (it was tested on animals), the buns and sauces it comes with are not vegan, and the burger is cooked alongside dead meat, absolutely nothing about this is aimed at vegans. It's a plant-based burger for meat eaters. I very much doubt that the man behind the lawsuit is a legit vegan as this is beyond dumb.

As a vegetarian, I couldn’t agree more. All this does is make people think vegans are assholes. If you’re that concerned and strict about these things, don’t go to BK! I think it’s great that they offer a meat free alternative. As the saying goes “no good deed goes unpunished”.

I'm not a vegan. I'm a proud carnivore. I've never considered what BK and McD serve to be "meat". So it is unsurprising that a vegetarian would not consider an impossible burger not "un-meat" either.

It's simply cheap crappy "fast food". Neither herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, nor anything else should have to eat that. But they do take EBT!
