While it may horrify you to step foot in a restuarant whose corporation is responsible for the exact treatment to animals we're fighting to stop. As much as we boycott, they dont seem to feel the pinch as much as we'd hope, they have many a loyal customer going a-nowhere
To the corporations, when we go vegan, we could have well died for all they know, it doesn't phase they're advertise or what they offer.
However I encourage to maybe on one occasion do go into a fast food store and request a vegetarian option. I quite often get a burger without the pattie. They dont charge for the pattie, so the sales information goes: up 1 bun, up whatever salad, DOWN one meat pattie. If you combine this with requests for a veggie burger, we may get a result such as in the US; Burger King introduced their first Veggie Burger.
The importance of this is that people who aren't entirely eco-fantastic can still opt for a much better option even if they do buy their lunch at these places, they may have just received a pamphlet and they deserve the option.
Also it opens their eyes that they can substantiate a business without Meat as a number one seller. It could even lead to vegan fast food chains... Kentucky Fried Chickpeas please
My grandchildren might say, "It was Kentucky Fried What originally? Thats horrific, I cant' believe people used to eat chickens that way.."
So please go and express yourself to the chains. I've even had some girls at my local red rooster smiling and being extra nice because I made them do up a veg meal and they even charge me way way less, so try it for the animals
