I've found the workers at BK on 466A to be nothing but pleasant. Did anyone happen to think that deliveries may have been impacted because of the hurricane ??Are there any supply chain experts out there ?? It will take 10 or more years to see how the meatless chemical filled alternatives have caused new health problems according to the law of unintended consequences .. I'll stick with real meat, and am hoping Wendy's brings back their famous "Where's the beef ?" ads.

Humans are omnivores. It's in our DNA. Our ancestors survived on meat, fish, and a few greens for tens of thousands of years before we began cultivating grains. Many people today still cannot tolerate gluten which is part of grains such as wheat and others because their digestive system has not adapted to it but have no problem with a protein rich diet. As to the 'impossible burger", more sodium and calories than a real burger. Not a healthy choice at all.

----------------- Now, I would rather eat PB&J if everything else was closed and they were the only choice. As for the veggie burger, I'll let the lemmings enjoy them while I have a nice thick and juicy, medium rare triple cholesterol burger or steak. I am not interested in the possibility of prolonging my life at this point if that additional longevity is going to be miserable. I eat what I want. Go ahead and convince yourselves that eating rabbit food is more enjoyable than eating protein and fat. But, don't expect me to change my diet just so you yuppies can feel like you are contributing to saving the world, because you ain't. A burger joint is a FAST FOOD BURGER joint, not a yuppie salad bar. If you want salad, go to Sweet Tomatoes. And you are lying if you think that you can convince anyone that a cauliflower crust on pizza tastes the same as good old fashioned wheat flour with yeast. Anyway, I have no problem with you all eating fake burgers, but just don't try to convince the rest of us that you think you are saving the world or prolonging your miserable lives. |

You're not a true vegan ,unless you have all your non molars removed and have molar implants in your mouth--if you eat like a cow , you should have teeth to match-honestly, we are not herbivores

We are omnivores, that doesn't mean we have to eat everything, just that we can. It also doesn't mean everything we can eat is good for us. There is no doubt, the science is beyond question, that excessive red meat diets are not healthy. There is no doubt that eating lots of fish is good for us. Everything in between is up for debate.

Like I said above, if you wish to eat rabbit food, go for it. Just don't try to push a vegan lifestyle on me, because I enjoy my steak and my BBQ. And anyone that eats fake burgers, is just someone that wants to eat beef but is catering to yuppie peer pressure. Otherwise, they would not be making believe they are eating a hamburger at a hamburger joint. This is my opinion, and I reserve the right to stick to it.... |

Good point. Doesn't it seem ironic that people are eating a fake hamburger at a burger restaurant? The impossible Whooper is not even healthier than the real Whooper. I understand the desire to reduce beef production, but why make the point in a burger joint? If Burger King eliminates all the beef, what would they call the restaurant? It seems like Burger King is trying to put themselves out of business.

Ironic indeed. More sodium, more carbs and plenty of emulsifiers. And a dollar more. Patty without bun is 630 calories. Sounds delicious. This will be a thing of the past soon. |

And I would never want to push my life style on anyone, I have a hard enough time figuring out what I think I should do without trying to convince you that I am right. As to red meat, I did condition it with "excess". As for fish, there is NO evidence eating excessive amounts of fish is bad for you. Eating anything with mercury in it is bad for you, I would highly recommend avoiding that, just like I would highly recommend avoiding beef that was raised with excessive amounts of antibiotics or growth hormones. And I do think there are a lot of reasons people do things - I doubt that yuppy peer pressure is the ONLY reason people are trying Impossible Burgers, but it is certainly one. Peer pressure plays a role in our lives and starts around age 2 or 3, and it seems we never grow out of it. The issue is which group we choose to be a peer member of. But, that just my opinion, I have been known to be wrong

I expect you are more right than wrong. But then, I recall a $16,000 32inch flat screen TV a few years ago at a big box store. The point is things have to start someplace. Once released out into the wild the market will help it improve or go away. Today, you can get a 60 inch flat screen for just a couple hundred, and it works so much better. With out those first $16,000 32 inch flat screen buyers we would not have the larger cheaper better ones we have today. Same is true for food.

My first cell phone was a brick.
New study indicates vegetarians are more likely to die of stroke than meat eaters. But meat eaters have more coronary heart disease. Balance is probably the best as long as it is delicious! |

Last time I went to BK (466, op.TVC school) it was a freezing cold day, even colder inside, as they could not turn the A/C down, and to put the icing on the cake, they were out of burgers!
Given the place a miss ever since. |
