I recall when Burger King introduced it's "veggie burger", a number of people
I knew began to patronize the chain who otherwise never would have. I always
puzzled over the inherent tensions there. Curious thing, that.

Here in the seattle area, BurgerMaster uses all grass fed beef raised

I guess I'm hoping to hear "McDonalds is switching over to all grass fed!"
