Chill vegan/Twitter user @kim_crawley, took it upon herself to break down how silly the lawsuit being made by an angry vegan against Burger King actually is. The angry vegan in question is alleging that Burger King served them a contaminated "Impossible Burger" because they prepare the meal on the same surface as other meat-based meals.

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley I'm vegan, but my veganism isn't super strict. I don't eat meat, dairy, seafood, or gelatin (which is derived from the connective tissue of cows.) But I will eat vegan food that's cooked with equipment that was used to cook meat... 1

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim_crawley If I couldn't eat food cooked with equipment used to cook meat, I'd be limited to eating homecooked meals and food from exclusively vegan restaurants. So on the #BurgerKing issue... 2

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley Veganism isn't an allergy to meat and dairy. If microunits of beef fat end up in my veggie burger, 'l live. I'm very happy that companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger are making great vegan products in fast food chains... 3

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley It gives me something to eat at places like #BurgerKing other than fries. I order pizzas with "dairy-free cheeze" and "plant-based pepperoni" from Pizza Pizza at least once or twice per month... 4

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim_crawley More fake meat and fake cheese available in popular fast food restaurants also captures the curiosity of omnivores. I have omnivore friends who'd want to try my burger or pizza because they're curious. If it tastes as good as the real thing, they become more openminded... 5

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley I would never be preachy about my veganism to them. But making my omnivore friends curious about vegan alternatives is a gentle way to influence without being antagonistic or judgemental of them... 6

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim_crawley So vegans who are suing Burger King for cooking their Impossible Burgers of the same grill as their beef burgers, you're not doing anyone any favours... 7

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley This won't help to convince people that they can eat tasty, nutritious food without killing animals. I know couldn't have transitioned to veganism without fake meat and fake dairy... 8

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim_crawley And you're taking away the option for vegans to have something tasty to eat at Burger King. I'm blessed to live in Toronto and to be able to afford and have access to really great vegan restaurants... 9

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley But many vegans and people who are curious about veganism don't live in big cities with lots of options and the money to afford them. And given the continuing popularity of beef hamburgers, it's not feasible for Burger King to have a separate grill just for veggie burgers... 10

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim crawley I'm the last person who would obliiviously defend a big, evil corporation. Burger King is wrong to exploit their workers. But it's silly to expect them to keep separate grills for veggie burgers at this poin... 11

    Text - Kim Crawley @kim_crawley Even if we had socialism and Burger King was run by their workers and not by capitalists, with the majority of the population eating meat and Burger King's decades long reputation of serving beef burgers, veggie burgers would still be cooked on meat grills. FIN
