  All vegans are vegetarians. So those burgers are not an option for some portion of vegetarians

    as a vegan myself - have you ever considered that not every meat alternative is made for you?

        I humbly suggest to change your communication efforts towards your cause. It'll only cause rejection if you keep using pretentious statements.

        Should we drive lions to extinction by sterilizing them all, since the only way they can live is by murdering other animals?

        > Be on the right side of history on this one, folks. this is a clear indicator you are a "lost cause" social justice warrior type. Equating slavery and eating meats.. OMG. Have you considered taking an African safari and encouraging lions to stop eating meats? Why do people like you use "be on the right side of history" and other catch buzzword type sayings?

        I see you are just another vegan who cares more about feeling morally superior over reducing the most animal suffering. I can only assume you haven't been vegan long or else I feel very doubtful of our movement to change many more peoples minds.

  Phew where do I begin? From a sustainability POV, using living beings for milk production is vastly worse than a plant based alternative. From a animal friendliness perspective, it abuses the same animals that would be slaughtered for meat, for long periods of time in cruel ways. From a business and consumer POV, this limits your burger to only Omni and vegetarians, excluding the entire market of vegans, and people with dairy intolerances who would opt for this option instead. All around a PR inspired, stupid half measure that is insulting at best.
