GB News commentator’s meat-free Burger King complaint chipped away on social media

"In a crowded field, this is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read on Twitter."

Burger King is converted one of its London branches into a 100 percent meat-free restaurant, which opened on 14 March 2022. The plant-based concept will take over the chain’s Leicester Square restaurant for a pilot until 10 April 2022. 

“PETA applauds the UK’s first all-vegan Burger King – a whopping great step in the right direction for animals and the environment.” said Dawn Carr, Director of Vegan Corporate Projects at Peta.

“The planet needs a game-changing shift away from meat to combat the climate emergency, and Burger King is leading the way. We love its expanding meat-free range: from the Vegan Royale to the Vegan Nuggets, these plant-powered, protein-packed meals appeal to both vegans and meat-eaters!”

Worth a shot you would think? Try and save the planet one meal at a time.

Well, not according to Dominique Samuels, a news commentator at numerous media outlets including a regular slot on GB News.

She wrote: “The Burger King in Leicester Square has been completely meat-free for a month. And people genuinely think this is normal and not being deliberately pushed on us?”

And people genuinely think this is normal and not being deliberately pushed on us?

Then she followed up with: “It’s extremely manipulative. It’s right where all of the clubs are and hungry drunk people, for example, won’t have many options. Burger King has been there for as long as I can remember. So it’s basically trying to force people into consuming chemically enhanced fake meat.”

It’s extremely manipulative. It’s right where all of the clubs are and hungry drunk people, for example, won’t have many options. Burger King has been there for as long as I can remember.

As the comments piled in she then said: “I gave ONE example of how veganism is being shoved down people’s throats. There are tons of other examples and it just so happens to be a coincidence that every single international organisation, e.g. the UN wants less meat consumption to ‘save the planet’”.

Reactions

There was a huge amount of people who had their say on her comments, here is a small selection:

1.

if one Burger King being vegan is pushing veganism on us, what are all the meat ones doing?

These days, if you say you don't want to eat at a Burger King's, you get arrested and thrown in jail. https://t.co/q0zdcJylwF

UK laws are so ridiculous.
You can't own a gun, it's incredibly easy to sue someone for libel, and you're legally obligated to eat at the "Burger" King in Leicester Square. Very sad. https://t.co/nFAjNor2LD
