Vegetarian and Vegan fast food is speedy Meals

Some well-meaning vegans have chosen to ignore the fast-food market because of its emphasis on fried animal flesh, but the bottom line is this: In order to convince meat-eaters to stop eating animals, vegetarian options must be convenient and available in the places where meat-eaters munch. There will never be vegan or vegetarian options at fast-food chains unless vegetarians and vegans support them. Some of us never thought that we’d see the day when Burger King offered veggie burgers, but now that it does, the millions of carnivores who eat there can see that choosing meatless meals is easy and tasty. This is a huge step in the right direction.

People who travel frequently know that fast food is often one of the only options. Gone are the days when vegetarians fast food on the go were limited to mini-mart snacking and cookies! With the support of consumers’ demand for cruelty-free options, we can make sure that meat-eaters have no excuse for downing that cholesterol bomb in a bun.
