|  KFC Launches 'Kind of, Sort of' Vegan Sandwich
Canadian KFC stores now marketing vegetarian sandwich? Yes. Chock full of vegetarian ingredients? Yes. Cooked in the same deep fryer as meat? Ye....what?!  Quote:
I live in Calgary, AB and I was really excited to try the new vegan KFC burger. I called my nearest location to see if they carried it and then asked them how they cooked it. They said they fry it up in the same fryer as the meat.

Does cooking it with meat make it non-vegan?

Vegan means absolutely no animal products or by-products are used.

Even if they had a dedicated fryer, which they probably won't, and even if they claimed to use that fryer for vegan products only I would not trust such to be the case. | |

Different people have different ideals. IF a COMPANY CLAIMS that there is a "vegan" option on the menu, then it MUST conform to the vegan definition. Mc Donalds lost a lawsuit very similar to the problem listed in this thread.

I don't get why KFC would try to entice this consumer base. Their friggin' initials stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken. If I'm a vegan, I don't think of KFC for a quick bite. Is there actually a demand out there for vegan fast food chains?
Secondly, I have an issue with the site: "the latest in green gossip". Riddle me this: if cows fart methane, which is a greenhouse gas, and people eat cows, how is not eating a cow good for the environment? You'd think the greenies would want less methane. Fewer cows = less methane, am I right? Secondly, to not eat anything from an animal, vegans are reduced to eating plants, right? Well don't plants consume CO2, which is a "global warming" gas? Fewer plants = more CO2, which means more dreaded global warming!
So, in conclusion, save the environment: eat meat!
