Which Bandwagon-Jumping Vegan or Veggie Burger Will Kill You Off First? — All Hail Kale
With the whiff of Veganuary still in the air, the world’s crappiest fast-food joints have been predictably piling onto the vegan and vegetarian bandwagon. Sure, it’s excellent news for cows and chickens - and having a few less farting cattle can’t be a bad thing for the climate.
