Why would vegans support someone like Burger King or Mcdonalds rather than a smaller vegan business that hasn't had any involvement killing animals?

[Anonymous No.16124722]

Because marketing works and people put a lot of value in conformity.

Not even a vegan and even I know that's bullshit it's been around for a while but has become really popularized in the last few years because of retarded hipsters latching onto the lifestyle.

Why are they still making their abomination shit products to look like real meat?

Is that mental illness? Hypocrisy or both? If you want meat so much, just fucking eat it, you malnutritioned retard.

Buddhism might not be, but the vegan worldview they espouse has its origins in pre-buddha philosophers from the same region dating back thousands of years.
Either way still a damned sight older than 1970

Because veganism is mostly about optics and feeling charitable
Vegans denounce real leather while using PU shit that's petrol made trash which actually poisons water and takes a long time to decompose, when real leather is biodegradeable

It's like how people denounce 3rd world sweatshop labour but will jump at every new iPhone release

It's more about looking good than doing something good

that's true and you should say it but that's also why they're pushing so hard for plant based alternatives like cork and kombucha.

Buddhism is not the same as modern veganism. I never hear about vegans avoiding pungent vegetables or tubers, or encouraging fasting, sometimes to death.

>or encouraging fasting, sometimes to death.
Have you seen what they do to children and pets?

[Anonymous No.16125087]

because when you're out and about options for a satisfying meal are extremely limited. i don't like to eat fast food in general but sometimes fast food is all you can eat at a rest stop or something.

most vegans and vegetarians are regular people and don't have the luxury to make 100% perfect food choices, they just abstain from animal products.

Yes it is required by law to abuse animals in order to derive nutrition from them.

Pic related, pure evil carnage just for taste pleasure. Disgusting.

thats not what it means anon
"be the change you want to see in people" for you means stopping eating animal products. you can malnourish your own body however much you want, it's yours. you can also volunteer to do real help for animals, but you won't because you'd rather spam on the internet.
guilt tripping people about eating meat and being holier than thou about it is not being the change, it's being a faggot, and that's exactly why everyone hates vegans like you.

Vegans visit them for the same reason non-vegans do.
You either want
-something cheap
-something standardised
-something quickly
-something because it's the only place open
or whatever.

They had these in the UK, but they cooked them on the same plates as the meat burgers, so it wasn't actually vegan, it would have small pieces of meat in it. Who the fuck would buy that?

As soon as you started your post I saw your hatred for vegans. It doesn’t matter if vegans leave you alone or are in your face you’ll still hate them. And the best thing we can do for animals is leave em alone in their natural environments, organisations like the save the fox are just funding peoples pets and I volunteer plating trees and give to anti poaching organisations for rhinos

I think you hate vegans so much because they plant a seed in your mind that what you’re doing is wrong and it makes you insecure

>Why would vegans support someone like Burger King or Mcdonalds rather than a smaller vegan business
I guess the same reason they buy vegan food from grocery stores that also have a meat dept.
But the target market for the major chain plant burgers are (uninformed) vegetarians and progressive save-the-planet folks, not vegans; the burger in your pic comes with mayo unless someone specifically requests otherwise, and the one McDonald’s is testing comes with cheese.
Only ‘casual’ vegetarians would actually eat one, as it’s a known fact that the plant patties are cooked on the same equipment as the real ones. Notice the ‘small print’ at the bottom of pic.

That’s why these burgers are advertised as “plant based”, but BK never uses the term “vegetarian” or “vegan”; the burger doesn’t qualify as either because of how they’re grilled and it would be false advertising.
