Vegetarian Star

Burger King has once again taken a step to provide more ethical, humanely produced food.

The fast food giant that claimed to be the first to sell a vegetarian burger nationwide has committed to sourcing 100% of its eggs from cage-free suppliers and purchasing pork from suppliers that have pledged to phase out gestation crates for pigs.

Frankenburger

The KFC Double Down and McGangburger have had their 15 minutes of fame. Now the Frankenburger is hoping to win the hearts (by literally stopping them) of people with it’s trio of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King food components.

Unlike other “killer” meat sandwich combos, the Frankenburger is not simply of piling of several patties of dead flesh onto a bun. Rather it takes the meat, cheese, vegetables, fries and other ingredients from several fast food meals to create the “perfect” burger. We are already salivating at a vegan version. Here is the formula for disaster, from Village Voice.

Christian Serratos appreciates it when a traditional fast food giant remembers to put a little veg love on the menu.

On a recent Tweet, Christian wrote:

“Thank you Burger King for having veggie burgers. Yummmmmyyy”

The next time you’re in an otherwise meat-laden, grease fest food establishment and you’re able to consume something from the menu, follow Christian’s lead.

Because if they never know we want it, we’ll never get it!

Update: There is no burger deal. Not yet, anyway.

Heather Mills has signed a veggie whopper of a deal.

Paul McCartney’s ex, who has been busy teaching families in the Bronx how to cook and eat vegan through her Hunts Point Alliance Charity, has agreed to back the launch of a new meat-free burger at Burger King.

The patty will be featured at over 11,000 Burger Kings nationwide and folks will be able to have it their way, Heather’s way. 

Heather will be paid £3 million, which is a little over $4 million US dollars, to promote Burger King’s veggie fare.

Burger King currently offers the BK Veggie Burger at some of its restaurants, so we’re not sure if the BK is staying or being replaced by a new, chic Heather burger.

A source told The People: “Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She’s also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing.”

This news comes just shortly after we learn Heather has bought an old fish restaurant in the UK and plans to turn it into a vegan eatery.

The all veg band Rise Against likes to have a little fun while searching for food on tour, like using scooters to get them to eateries of their choice.

Life may have gotten easier for them to find veg food on the road, especially in comparison to rockers before their time, like Tom Schultz and Boston.

Lots of mainstream grocery stores have little “island” sections of food for vegans and vegetarians now and it’s not uncommon to find a Gardenburger patty at many restaurants. Even fast food chains are complying.

Band member Joe Principe has spoken about how he thinks the vegan chicken patty at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Canada is “amazing.” Now Tim McIlrath is expressing his astonishment about another fast food establishment, Burger King.

“If you would have told me when I was 17 years old that Burger King was going to have a veggie burger, I would have told you that you were crazy,” McIlrath said in an interview.

Luckily, we’re not crazy (at least according to the test that we know lots of restaurants carry veg options) and there’s a good chance if you’re out and about you won’t go hungry thanks to veg options at places like Subway. Is there a fast food or mainstream restaurant where you can find awesome meatless (and maybe even dairyless) grub?

Tell us so everyone can make mental maps of where to stop while driving in the middle of Lake Nowhere to Somewhere.
