Some people give up bacon for religious reasons. I gave up religion for bacon reasons.

No reason you can't enjoy both....

Vegans for sure.

Vegetarians, on the other hand, I know quite a few. They tend to be a bit more open minded than their vegan counterparts. They are more likely to still cook meat for their kids, for example, even if they don't eat it themselves.

Which is why I said "some".

I house shared years ago with a veggie like that. I also knew a couple of others who I purposely avoided.

One offending ad shows a picture of a young cow, with the caption: ‘They eat grass so you don’t have to.’

Probably because they can sneak a rasher for themselves when nobody's looking

Bacon is usually the one they miss the most, also

The ad was soo disappointing I was expecting them to insult Buddhists etc.

Vegans and some vegetarians are insulted by everything.

oops

GBK should stock up on these to placate the vegans and vegetarians....

[NotAllThere]

Apart from being vegetarian for religious reasons plenty do it for spurious health reasons.

FTFY

"I have here a prospectus from another summer school which states its terms per week and then asks me to say 'whether my diet is ordinary or vegetarian'. They take it for granted, you see, that it is necessary to ask this question. This kind of thing is by itself sufficient to alienate plenty of decent people. And their instinct is perfectly sound, for the food-crank is by definition a person willing to cut himself off from human society in hopes of adding five years on to the life of his carcase; that is, a person out of touch with common humanity." - George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

Actually, I suspect it'll be a massive success. Everyone will laugh at the veggies, who would never go to a GBK anyway, and they'll be talking about GBK and their nice burgers.

Yum.

Pure ignorance there Chuck. GBK actually makes good veggie burgers, couple of vegetarians I know quite like the veg options there.

Looks like GBK has apologised for this anyway.

Veganuary, which encourages people to give up animal products for a month, has seen a huge surge in popularity this year.

This month around 22,000 miserable gits are taking part – up by about 2,650 per cent from when it started three years ago.
