I’m vegetarian myself, and yeah i know the militant vegan type and unfortunately a small number of those have really established a reputation that isn’t valid for all vegans- even within the umbella of vegan there are those who are dietary vegans only (and will purchase or wear leather/wool/etc) and those who just very quietly don’t participate or purchase products they don’t want to support the production of.
I personally don’t think that having more options is ever a problem, and if eating a vegan burger at McDs is a way of reducing support for factory farmed mass produced beef of questionable quality well, as a vegetarian i support that.
It’s not like they are removing actual beef from the menu. And no, no way would any actual vegan go to McDs in the first place, much less order this. (FYI, for a lot of veg*ns the very smell of cooking meat is bothersome- like, the smell in fast food places). And I’m certain they use the same cooking surfaces.
