Burger King is being sued over their impossible whopper, by a vegan who consumed the product, because its cooked on the same broiler as their meat burgers. The counter argument is that on the website it is advertised as a plant based product and can be microwaved instead of broiled, on the broiler where meat has been cooked, upon request.

Who do you think is in the right and why?

The man who unknowingly ingested animal products?

Burger King who advertised the burger as plant based?

I side with the man who is suing because its advertised as 100% whopper 0% beef on the posters and on the commercials. The only place it says a damn thing that even insinuates that it is not vegetarian is on the website in the fine print, so to speak. If I were a vegan, I'd definitely research everything I consumed, so I can see where he could have gone that extra step. However, it is advertised as a vegetarian option and I would assume that since it's being offered as a vegetarian burger, that it would automatically be cooked on a separate surface. I find it ridiculous that Burger King is trying to use the term "plant based" as an argument for cooking a vegetarian burger on a grill with meat grease on it. I don't know a single vegetarian who is just okay with having their food prepared on a surface where meat has been, or having a dish and just picking the meat off. That's not how that works. Dairy products? Sure, some are okay with that. Honey? Sure. But actual product from a dead animal? Absolutely not okay.
