...why not join many other vegans in totally boycotting corporations like Burger King that harm the environment, shamelessly exploit their employees and are responsible for the deaths of vast numbers of factory farmed animal so they can push cheap "meat"? Let PETA get upset about the "vegan-ness" of BK burgers and encourage locally-owned restaurants to provide vegan options at a reasonable cost. If the demand is there they will do it.
