It is still wrong.
So very, very, wrong.

I've been accused of that before, but why now?
Because I'm open minded enough to try (and enjoy) a product from a $2 billion company (I previously said $1 billion, but I stand corrected), which is served in over 5,000 outlets in the U.S., and more globally? Star chefs such as David Chang (Momofuku in NYC) and Gordan Ramsey have it on their menus, and Burger King plans to roll it out nationwide (in the US) by the end of the year. It is financed by some of the top investors in the world, including Bill Gates.
So, what's your point?

Her point is clearly that you are insane.
It is wronger than a wrong'un that has an extra special reason to be wrong.

... Apologies to non-native speakers (inc Americans) for the second part of that post, it is extra colloquial.

my point was it really doesn't look good at all. but, I admit to not being a burger fan really.
leaving your insanity aside, I truly get irked by this need to make non meat meat things and call them non meat meat things.
plus, what PB said

Happy to eat a veggie burger that looks like vegetables but not that abomination.

Personally I don't see what the fuss is about these new vegan burgers, just as long as the vegans were killed humanely.....

Is Wendy's that awful UK takeaway place? There was a bean burger that some god awful joint did in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s. Veggie is fine. But don't be giving me that pretend stuff dressed up as meat (that looks like an awful burger)

I don't get why people get offended by calling non-meat items but names that are traditionally associated with meat. No one gets offended by a turkey burger or a fish burger, or chicken sausage, or turkey bacon, or the such. It's a "veggie burger" or "vegan patty", not trying to copy or deceive anyone. And they do it because because people like the texture and flavors of a burger, just as they are also allowed to make veggie paninis, sandwiches, raviolis, tacos, bahn mi, etc.

I think there's an opening for a niche terrorist group which feeds vegans meat under the guise of vegan meat and then films the reaction when the man-bun hipsters are told.
