Gosh, I loved this flame.
It so typifies the ironic nature of our society!
I don't know what Burger King is doing/ or not doing so I can't answer
your question but I sure agree with you're line of reasoning.
I can, however, offer the comment that what the food industry does to
animals (and plants for that matter) is pretty perverse, and veal
is right up there (I think they keep the poor thing in a box so it
can stand/move and thus build muscle fiber).

Rather than take sides, I'd give up trying to resolve this issue.
It's moot because it will solve itself when we run out of energy
and can't afford to torture animals so they taste better.

Till then I hope you find a substitute.
