The money spent by consumers at some of these places regardless of the food purchased, directly funds some of the largest animal agriculture industries on the planet. Most of the companies listed are members of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. (Yeah, ok...since when is animal agriculture and CAFOs sustainable?)
The USRSB has also funded a lot of anti-vegan propaganda, while also funding studies that claim meat is essential and part of a healthy diet.
Truth be told, the players in this silent game are hiding behind a gigantic curtain drenched in blood, and quite frankly, are the main enemies of the progress of veganism.
Please stop giving them your money and please stop promoting them as being beneficial to veganism.

Just had an order last night where a jumbo drink spilled completely in my bag. And had to flip my bag upside down to drain it all out. Luckily it was my last job of the night but also made me realize I'm done with doing BK orders all together. Not worth the stress at all.
So I used to work the drive through late nights at Burger King on Friday and Saturday nights. We had plenty of drunk smart asses come through asking for McDonalds products like Big Mac's and Quarter Pounders with cheese.
Being a teenager that ate at both McDonalds and Burger King regularly, I knew what was in each burger from each of the restaurants.
And being Burger King, you could customise your burger, so when someone came through the Burger King drive through asking for McDonalds products, if it was possible, I would customise their Burger King burger to McDonalds specifications and ingredients as much as possible
A typical occurrence
Me: Burger King Cannington, please place your order when you are ready
Some drunk smartass: yeh mate, I'll get a Big Mac meal, and a double quarter pounder with cheese (snickering)
Me: Sure, large or regular for that Big Mac meal?
Smartass: Large please
Me: Sure, large Big Mac meal and a Double Quarter pounder with cheese, that's $x.xx, please drive forward to the second window
I would then do a double junior burger with cheese, minus tomato, ketchup and mayo, add ranch sauce (closest thing to special sauce we had) add an extra 4" bun (we just threw away the extra top, but this made it the same 3 pieces of bread a Big Mac has) and it was accounted for properly in the till and ingredients.
For the double quarter pounder with cheese, it would be a double whopper with cheese, heavy cheese, plain, add onion, pickle, ketchup and mustard. Again, properly accounted for in the till and ingredients.
Edit: gramatical errors only
Arguably the best the fast food chip sans salt. Just get over yourselves and give me a little sachet along with the ketchup and mayo…
Is anyone else here pissed of about the seemingly common conception in the vegan community (especially the vegan subreddit), that you can change those companies buy consuming the "right products"?
People obviously never bring this logic to an end by admitting they believe in the idea, that someday those companies won't offer meat anymore, since everyone is only wanting the vegan option. Maybe they don't speak it out because they than had to confront themselves with the shere stupidity of that logic, but sentences like "this is an important step/success/..." obviously show that this is their perception. Where else should those step's lead?
Rather than thinking about this bullshit that they are obviously not really convinced about themselves, they literally bash everyone criticizing posts of awesome new product lines of those companies.
The way they attack you and talk you down when trying to friendly remind them about the core essence of the vegan idea, and how supporting companies responsible for an enormous amount of animal cruelty kinda contradicts those ideals, reminds me heavily of the way meat eaters treat vegans. You get called crazy, extremist, hypocrit (since you "can't avoid animal harm to an full extent anyway, every step outside might kill bugs/...") and so on...
Not even talking about the negative social, ecological, economic and political implications those companies have - I never even tried to bring that topic into discussions since the animal aspect seems to already overcharge them.
I feel like most of them don't really want to change their behaviour. They just want to make small concessions but still retain the stupid consumerist behaviour they've grown up with in "the greenest way possible", while still boasting about how heroic they are and labelling themselves as defender of animals & common sense.
Tackling the root of the problem seems to be not even conceivable, that really fucks me up! :DI always felt happy to see the vegan community online and offline grow as I felt like it would be leading into a great direction, but seeing this kind of stuff all over again makes me doubt if the movement is taking the right direction.
Literally a good 4 minutes of the show was a burger king commercial tonight. Did anyone else notice too the commercial immediately following that segment was for Burger King?
How many times did the cast use the trademarked word "Whopper?" How many times did they show the bags with the logo? How many times did they talk about how Vinny broke his diet to eat Burger King?
The best part is that they blurred out the product name of the can Deanna was drinking.
I'm kind of wondering too if Doritos is a sponsor? Mike has held the bag a couple of times and they haven't blurred out the logo.
its the same fucking channel that made the foot fungus video and he said “number 15” exactly the fucking same and all the memories just came rushing back like a amnesiac finally remembering his past
Hey all,
Please let me know if I can clarify anything below! There's a lot I'm trying to accomplish at once so I tried to organize it as best as I can.
Been a minute since my last post but after my last round of trades my wantlist is down to single digits! Hoping people can help fill in the last gaps :)
As usual, looking for unlimited prints where applicable. No PSA slabs, reverse holos or 1st editions please. Since they are going straight to a binder, damage to the back and edges aren't dealbreakers, as long as there are no obvious creases or damage to the front of the cards. MP/LP is typically my sweet price spot since I'm not trying to get them graded, just want the fronts to look good in a binder.
| Set | Number | Name |
|---|---|---|
| WOTC Black Star Promo | 40 | Pokemon Center |
| WOTC Black Star Promo | 51 | Rapidash; NY Pokemon Center stamp |
| WOTC Black Star Promo | 52 | Ho-Oh; NY Pokemon Center stamp |
| Team Rocket | 3 | Dark Blastoise (holo) |
| Team Rocket | 12 | Dark Slowbro (holo) |
| Cosmic Eclipse | 214 | Blastoise & Piplup GX (full art) |
| Cosmic Eclipse | 253 | Blastoise & Piplup GX (Secret Rare) |
As far as cards to trade, I have a 6/82 Team Rocket holo Dark Dugtrio in NM condition. Fairest trade seems to be that for Dark Slowbro but happy to use it towards more expensive cards and supplement with PayPal.
I also have a group of 7 Alternate Art Tag Team cards available that I would like to move together. I held the lot for another user for three months, but due to external events he's said I could put it back up for grabs in case anyone was interested before he could get the money together. Lowest NM prices (plus shipping) from verified TCGplayer sellers total a little over $50 so I'd ship the lot for $45. They all fit comfortably in the 1 toploader as shown in the photos (it was an oversized loader used to store a football jersey card).
As a side note, I have full sets of the SM Base Set and Shining Legends set (including full arts and secret rares), as well as all 151 1999 Burger King Poketrivia cards, which I do not intend to split up. The prices shown below are the sum of average listings for all cards in a given set on TCGPlayer, so if they're insultingly high please don't crucify me; I'm typically a buyer/trader not a seller so I'd appreciate advice on a better price rather than a downvote due to my ignorance. If you are interested, I would also appreciate advice on best shipping methods.
