It seems McToxic is testing a veggie burger on us unsuspecting Vancouverites. I'm going to check it out sometime soon. :)
Why do they always have to play up the health angle with the veggie stuff? Isn't it possible that some people eat vegetarian because they prefer the way it tastes? Bloody annoying, I tell you -- I'm ordering up a McVeg with extra mayo and cheese and downing a tub of fries with it. :devil:

The last time McD's tried to go healthy with the McLean, nobody wanted it! :rolleyes: And back then, people were going with the "health trend."
Hmm - the veggie burgers go on sale starting today.

McDonalds and Health do not belong in the same sentence.
If you want healthy food, have a spinach salad for lunch :)

i decided to try out the whopper jr. vs . veggie whopper jr. Upon initial inspection, there was no visual difference whatsoever, so i did like the walnut game switch to mix me up to see if i could tell the difference. Weirdest thing is they tasted exactly the same. Probably cause where theycook it, its so dirty that everything comes out the same.

Yeah. All the meat juices from the other burgers have seeped into this one too :lol:
I guess that kinda defeats the purpose of a veggie burger though...

actually burger king has a flame broiler,,, any juices from the meat patties will be cooked of before the veggie patty goes on,, as well with Mc' Donald's case if they were/are to bring in a veggie burger it will only get cooked on it's own grill... they won't cook it with meat products.
I know how these things work,, I have to deal with it everyday :D

But doesn't the old meat continue to smoke in the flames, giving the veggie burger that not so veggie flavour?

you shouldn't get the taste of the beef,, those racks are going through a 450 degree charbroiler,,,, there is no trace of any meat products left on the racks
