This question is in responce to the almost daily questions about their fries!.

Answers:
It's important to try and encourage other people I think that vegetarian food is mainstream, and easily accessible to people!. Boycotting these places altogether, as tempting as it may be, does not help encourage the majority of friends, family etc!. that a veggie lifestyle is something they can easily do!.

I don't go out of my way to go Burger King or McDonalds, as I think eating regularly at these places isn't healthy, or being supportive of other more ethical restaurants!. But if I'm out with friends or family, I might order something veggie suitable for me if people want to eat there!. It's changing the world one bite at a time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well Burger King has a veggie burger that can be made vegan simply by asking to hold the mayonaise!.
And McDonald's is trying one out in some New York locations, but I don't know if they're still doing that!.
Plus, I'm pretty sure the fries are vegan and all the milkshakes and stuff are vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if your a veggie for ethical reasons, you shouldnt go!. Every cent you give them even for coffee or a packet of ketchup is going to the slaughter and continual abuse of animals!. If for health reasons you shouldnt go becuase of common sense!. I wouldnt give a cent to any company like them!. I cut the corporate evil out of my life as much as possible!. EAT RAW TO HAVE OPTIMUM HEALTH!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

For the same reason they'd buy Boca and Morningstar at the same grocery store that sells Tyson chicken!. They have to eat!. Some people don't have a lot of choices as to where they get their food!.

If you get coffee at the drive thru who are you to question anyone else!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I get the BK Veggie from Burger King!.
I think it is important to support this to show a fast food chain that it is worth it to cater to the vegetarian market!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The only reason I can think of is they're on the road with a bunch of omnivores and don't have a whole lot of choice in dining options!. I'd be screaming for a Chipotle or Subway; at least they have decent veg options!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'll bet they don't go alone!. They go with friends who want to eat there!. Instead of being a major pain to their friends and possible alienating them all, they go along and find something they can eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, they now offer healthier vegetarian things such as the Apple Dippers from McDonald's!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That doesn't matter!.

No matter what company you are using, it only matters on the product itself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They grew up eating fast food and they have trouble imagining cooking all their own food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

there probably just getting a sundae, apple pie or some fries!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

to get some fries, parfait, or a sundaeWww@FoodAQ@Com
