Rebel burger. No, no, no!

All this vegan bullshjt sickens me, all these restaurants pandering to <snip> who chose this diet type yet coeliacs who have no option on what they eat are barely a consideration in most restuartants and not at all in fast food joints. McD's and Burger King offer nothing for them except the fries in McD's. Pathetic.

As said, pandering to the minority. But that's ok, it's giving me ammo to go into vegan/vegetarian only restaurants and demand meat. Seems to be the way it's done.

Relax, I'm not actually going to do that, I just won't go there

Isn't it just another option on the menu though? It's not gonna affect non vegans.

It is completely and utterly avoidable, I just think that some companies are giving in to the pressure from vegan groups in ensuring there is an option for them at EVERY restaurant.

I don't understand vegans simply because meat is delicious and I couldn't imagine my life without it, but now all these places which are traditionally meat eateries are having to come up with fake meat products to appease the minority. Even though I don't eat vegan, I'm pretty sure Burgerking will be pretty low on the list of where vegans eat, if it's on it at all.

I'm also vehemently against non-meat products being named after meat, and it seems the EU are on my side, changing legislation that basically bans non-meat products from being called burger, sausage, bacon, fillet, and even so far as other terms, such as milk, should not be used to describe something that is not originally what that word means:

Can I similarly go into a vegan/vegetarian restaurant and demand meat, or that they at least provide 1 meat product for us non-vegans/vegetarians? If not, why not?

It's principle. That's all. I couldn't care less that vegans don't eat meat, as long as they're not preaching to me. Maybe this was an internal decision from Burgerking without the pressure (doubtful, but we'll never know). I just don't agree that everywhere that sells food should provide for vegans/vegetarians. That's all. Personal preference if you will.

Edit: And just found out that it's not actual vegan due to mayo being used in it.

Because it's double standards, regardless of the amount of current vegan only restaurants. My brother is a chef, and I was tempted to open a cafe/restaurant. He basically told me that even though he does vegan stuff, it doesn't really sell, but if it's not on the menu it's like hanging the business. From his perspective, people want these on the menu but very few actually order them.

Look, it's just my opinion. That burger is not even vegan, so why bother? And I'm not alone on this, just people are now afraid to speak out against vegans because they're automatically seen as a demon. I have absolutely no issue with them, I just don't like seeing it shoehorned into everything, while vegan only places don't have to do meat products. It's plainly double standards. That's all.

I agree.
I think the reason being is prep stations, cookers etc being contaminated... obviously coeliacs aren't worth the hassle or investment.
But if a vegan was committed to the cause, surely they would object to such cross contamination processes also, funny that, I think they're happy to eat their food that was prepared alongside meat products.
