	Vegetarians in Paradise/Burger King Veggie Burger
		As a sandwich the BK Veggie Burger is neither vegetarian nor vegan.
		When Burger King introduced its BK Veggie Burger in 2002 (story below), the patty was vegan even though the bun and mayonnaise were not because they contained butter and eggs.
		The VIP tasters sampled the original BK Veggie Burger that was warmed slightly in the microwave to avoid contamination by the animal products cooked on the grill.

	Burger King Does It the Vegetarian Way
		By supporting the BK Veggie burger and pushing other fast-food restaurants to follow Burger King's lead, consumers can continue to express their concerns about the methods by which farm animals are raised in the United States and to help to make a difference for those animals.
		The BK Veggie, created by supplier Morningstar Farms, includes a patty made of vegetables, grains and spices, which is topped with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and then sandwiched between the halves of a sesame seed bun.
		That changed on March 18, 2002, when Burger King introduced the BK Veggie burger to its menus nationwide, abruptly bringing the vegetarian movement into the most mainstream of restaurants.

	Burger King Uncowed
		A BK Veggie is produced with ingredients originating in disparate locations: The onions might come from Iowa, the smoke flavoring from New Jersey and the jalapeño powder from Mexico.
		Promoters of the BK Veggie are doing the public a serious disservice by suggesting that it is anything other than a highly processed, nutritionally deficient junk food that just happens to be meatless.
		True, the ecological footprint of a BK Veggie is appreciably lighter than that left by one of the chain’s highly resource-consumptive meat sandwiches.

	Veggie burger latest weapon in the fast food wars (printable version)
		The BK Veggie is indeed cooked on the same rack as the regular burgers; the person I spoke to said because the rack is constantly rotating through the flames, the grease all burns off (the vegetarian was dubious, but allowed it was a question she rarely asked anyway).
		The BK Veggie is a fairly mushy example of the latter — depending on where you bite, it tastes a lot like carrots, mushrooms or, possibly, squash.
		Burger King actually added a veggie burger to its menu this week, which means that for the first time in ages, health-conscious and/or vegetarian fast food refugees have a reason — besides utter desperation — to hit the drive-thru.

	Taste: The Nibbler: At last, a fast-food veggie burger
		The veggie burgers have a perfect mechanical shape, but BK was smart to broil them so the char and flame are obvious.
		Ultimately the veggie burger ($1.99), like BK's no-beef-tallow fries or Taco Bell's bean burritos, means some vegetarians can be citizens of our fast food nation too.
		The ultimate secret to any veggie burger is adding trimmings to disguise it and make it seem like a bad old meat burger.

	Vegetables ~ You ~ Your Healthy body ~ Veggie Place
		Best of all, Burger King is the first fast-food restaurant in America to add a veggie burger, the BK Veggie, to all its U.S. locations.
		Compared to a Whopper’s 43 grams of fat and 710 calories, the BK Veggie has (hold the mayo!) only 7 grams of fat and 310 calories.
		Burger King will be presented with a plaque to display in its offices and will be featured on PETA’s Webby Award-winning Web site PETA.org.

	Editorial: Why Burger King's Veggie Burger Doesn't Matter (by David Sudarsky)
		With ample free advertising and promotion by several pro-vegetarian web sites, the BK Veggie is well known among the vegetarian crowd, but it is worth noting that many longtime patrons of Burger King don't even know that this burger exists.
		It's just as well, since the BK Veggie really isn't all that tasty.
		By packing a veggie sandwich made with soy-based deli slices, tempeh, or seitan, it is likely that you are supporting animal-friendly companies, in contrast to Burger King, which has been peddling animal parts for decades.

	BellaOnline Forums: Favorite Veggie Burger?
		The BK Veggie is pretty yucky to my taste buds and I have concerns about where it has been on the grill.
		Veggie patties that more closely simulate meat usually have a higher protein content than bean- or grain-based burgers.
		Burger King and PETA made a big deal about it being part of their national menu, so I just assumed it would be everywhere.

	Eye - The fast and the furryless - 07.12.01
		Burger King, long-time second banana to the Golden Arches, introduced its Veggie BK ($2.49) in February (in Canada only).
		The best veggie burgers in town can be found at the Imagine Café, the Lakeview Lunch and KOS Bar and Grill, and what they all have in common is, well, vegetables.
		Or, to put it another way, as a good chunk of the populace runs screaming from ingesting dead, hormone-addled cow flesh, burger-co execs are becoming aware that adding a veggie burger to their menu will not only make for good PR, but will also make up for some of those lost profits.

		The BK Veggie Burger features Morningstar Farms Garden Veggie Patties, a delicious blend of garden-fresh vegetables, whole grains, and spices.
		The introduction of a veggie burger in Burger King's restaurants is a huge step forward that will help the billions of animals killed for food each year.

	Family split on BK Veggie burger
		In light of the recent introduction of meatless burgers to the fast food marketplace, The Eagle-Tribune compiled a family panel of critics to rate the new BK Veggie sandwich against two other name-brand meatless burgers, Gardenburger Hamburger Style and Boca Burger Roasted Onion.

		Yes, I support your efforts for BK Veggie Burger.....but it would be even better if you could also let folks know that there is a successful vegan fast food restaurant which seeks to expand and open a unit(s) in every city in every country soon.
		On the first two days I bought 5 of the veggie patties all of the time without buns and microwaved.
		I went to a total of five (5) Burger King restaurants in the Richmond area and not one of them was willing to do this for me. Their reasons ranged from none to health department regulations to the patty coming out like mush.

		The folks at the Golden Arches wanted something meaty, unlike the BK Veggie which is more veggie-like.
		Have yet to eat here, but in the tradition of Golden Era, this restaurant is owned by another daughter of the guy who owns Golden Lotus.
		Golden Era is very much like Golden Lotus.

	Burger King french fries - VeggieBoards
		I ordered BK veggie once (no fries because they seemed suspicious.) It wasn't bad, except I specifically said NO MAYO and they put it on there.
		Burger King’s Media Relations department has informed us that the poultry-derived amino acid is no longer part of the natural flavoring used on their French fries.
		In 1997, while researching for our Guide to Fast Food, we were told by Burger King that their French fries contained nothing “which would present a problem to [a vegetarian] diet.
