I'm not one who would usually boycott things... (1 Viewer)

I don’t think they hid the ingredients, did they? They just identified it as a burger topping.

Also, people with severe food allergies usually are quite neurotic to make sure they’re not being exposed to an allergen.

I think identifying it as a burger topping is misleading or misdirection at best.  The vast majority of the US public would interpret the word "burger" as implying some sort of ground beef product.    Seems to me that the establishment was perhaps trying to prove to typical "meat eaters" that they could be "fooled" by a plant based product.  It's not a food establishments place to try to fool their customers into being involuntary guinea pigs through misdirection.

Fair enough. I think the level of outrage is disproportionate to the crime, however.

what’s the problem with buffalo meat?

The problem was it was something I wasn't expecting.  Instead of thinking about it in terms of something you like, imagine someone replaced your burger with something you didn't like.

Is this about new uses for the McDonald's pink slime?
