Burger King cooked up a storm with its January roll-out of The Rebel -Whopper, which, although from a plant-based patty, is not necessarily suitable for vegans or vegetarians, because it is cooked next to meat products.

But the Veganuary team, and before that vegan customers will not be warned-too picky.

It is argued that animals are better with non-vegans, the consumption of vegetable burgers, even if they are cooked in addition to their fleshy Counterparts .

, because otherwise the restaurants will be taken-off vegan products.

The Risk of cross-contamination by the rebels-Whopper is one of a number of topics fast-food-chains encounter in the roll-out of vegan products.

Another problem for full-time vegans, whether or not to buy, food from restaurants, make The Most of your assets from the meat.

"you are not bothered about The Animals ... But I don't care," she says. "No business is in any altruistic sense. For me, if veganism has become Mainstream . it must be comfortable, it must be accessible. So, who are happy to push from Greggs and KFC actually, that the agenda to do in the way of a niche movement, nothing. "

Toni Vernelli, head of communications at Veganuary, right on with the bloggers, and sometimes also companies, such as KFC, McDonald's and Burger King demonized. "We do not believe that we can achieve a vegan world without you," she says.

it shows the large advertising budgets and overcrowded households enjoy this commercial and says, with the higher demand, the industry giant could invest in growing their vegan menus.

While you might not want to closely with a business, the sold 1. 5m sausage rolls every week, Emma and Emily have a thing in common with Greggs - they all benefit from Veganuary.
