Well tonight a friend and I are discussing our cravings lately. I just drive past Burger King and smell those fresh grilled burgers and my right blinker automatically turns on. I mean, really, who can deny a $1.49 jr whopper? Well since Veggie Burger's have come into my life I've done pretty well driving right on past BK to my home for Veggie burgers with all the veggie fixings. But as Chris and I talked tonight she asked, "What is in them, cuz I don't like peppers." And I was blank. Actually, I've never LOOKED. Well Loe and Behold I was speechless!
MorningStar Farms® Grillers Prime® Veggie Burgers
If it's prime, steakhouse flavor you crave, then get this burger on your plate pronto. It's savory, a little smoky, and best grilled and served on a bun, topped with whatever makes your mouth water.

I feel so cheated and lied to and decepted! How could a VEGGIE BURGER contain NO REAL VEGGIES!?!? I feel like I was reading the back of a Velveeta Cheese box with the long unpronounceable names.
I'm just a little taken back right now. The giant leap I thought I'd made really was just a lateral hop. =(

Sheri,
It has been so wonderful watching learn and grow in your eating experience we can not grow and change if we are unwilling to look at the hard cold truth. If that is in a veggie burger what is in the burger king burger?
