Phillip Williams, the plaintiff in the case, is a vegan who does not eat or drink anything that uses animal by-products. He purchased an Impossible Whopper at a location in Atlanta in August after seeing advertisements and paid &#8220;premium price&#8221; for the meatless option, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that if he had known the burger would be cooked in such a manner, he would have not purchased it.<\/p>\n<p>Burger King&#8217;s website describes the Impossible Whopper as &#8220;100% Whopper, 0% Beef.&#8221; The site also notes, &#8220;For guests looking for a meat-free option, a non-broiler method of preparation is available upon request.&#8221; The Burger King that Williams visited did not have signage at the drive-thru indicating that the plant-based burger would be cooked on the same grill as meat, the suit says. The lawsuit indicates that several other consumers have made similar complaints online about the chain&#8217;s practice surrounding the sale of the Impossible Whopper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source UNITED STATES, November 19, 2019 (CNN): A man is suing Burger King because the meatless Impossible Whopper is cooked,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16657\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
