Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I always look at it before I leave the restaurant. You can tell just from looking at it that it is the veggie burger and not a regular hamburger. It's made by Gardenburger, and it does have egg in it, there's your cholesterol. I don't think anybody claims that it is health food. Audrey On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 6:44 PM, slim_langer <slim_langer wrote: > > > Seems to have cholesterol, saturated and trans fats.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Hi, I've been to BK many times to get a veggie burger. I have never received a regular hamburger. I've been to at least four different BK's in the San Francisco Bay / Santa Clara area. Even though I've been a vegetarian for 10 years I'm pretty sure I could tell if it was a regular hamburger. Admittedly, I don't know exactly what they put in the veggie burger. The only way I'm going to know exactly is to make it and cook it myself.

Supposed to be cooked or heated separately in the microwave. Sounds like a true mystery meat. I'd be wondering if the hurried and harried folk working there didn't oft-times make an accidental swap, which is SOP in a lot of burger joints when some joker asks for a veggie burger. I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but given the larger inhumane nature of their business, maybe in more ways than one, I'd have mixed feelings about any degree of patronage. Not a very re-assuring promise quoted below from their website. http://www.bk.com/en/us/search/index.html?txtSearch=vegetarian & search_submit= JULY core menu 199, **Burger King Corporation makes no claim that the BK VEGGIE® Burger or any other of its products meets the requirements of a vegan or vegetarian diet. ... http://www.bk.com/cms/en/us/cms_out/digital_assetsmenu_nutrition/National\ Nutritionals.xls > Dear Jeanne, .... > Have you ever looked at their nutritional values page online? .... > > In Vino Veritas, > *´¨) Janis Abbe > --- Quote
