This was brought on by a conversation with someone (who shall remain nameless) that decided to eat a veggie burger for lunch after having referred to himself as a T-rex.

I like the BocaBurger brand better than the original Veggie Burger.

I picked option 3 although it's not exactly true but it's closest. I eat fish and chicken but no red meat. And I don't dig on swine either.

If you eat chicken and fish you aren't a vegetarian you are just a non pork/cow/cat/dog eater.
Just saying

I like veggie burgers.
I'll eat just about anything, but don't care for hamburgers or fast food in general. Why eat that nasty shit when I can hit a Cuban or BBQ joint for the same money.

People are made to eat meat, and the more the animal suffered before it died, the better it tastes! Veal...mmmmmmmmm.

I like cow burgers...I like non-cow burgers (black beans make a nice patty)...
I prefer blue boas...And of course gold tiaras tend to clash with blue boas...

I don't get why you'd want to eat a veggie burger over a regular burger if you weren't a vegeterian. Hello? Hamburger? Meat? Veggie burger? Not a hamburger?
If you want vegetables, eat vegetables! Don't try to dress it up as something it isn't.

I agree. If you want a healthier alternative have a turkey burger !

I was a veggie for awhile, and every now and then I crave a veggie burger, more so than a real burger. Spicey black bean + jalapenos = delicious

Its just another way to prepare stuff...*shrug*...Its not as if cow was the first thing prepared this way...
Sometimes I want dead cow sometimes I want dead beans...Sometimes I want salmon etc etc...

A burger is basically the patty sandwich. Tuna burger, crab burger, veggie burger are all burgers. I've eaten veggie burgers before because:
a. changing things up on occasion is a good thing and veggie/boca burgers taste pretty good.
b. if you're hankering for a burger and your caloric intake has been consistantly shot to shit for awhile, passing on the pound one but still getting the craving out of the way is not such a bad thing

Can you have a veggie burger and a milkshake?

you can, but i guess that makes as much sense as the double whopper w/ cheese and a diet coke combo

I've rethought my position and while I still reserve the right to snub all of you who choose to eat fake burgers, I think Veggie Burgers aren't the worse thing on this planet. Not Dogs are...

I was in Denver a couple of weeks ago on business. Had my first Rison steak (Buffalo); It is suppose to be healthier for you, but I did not like the taste at all.

Buffalo, like deer and other 'wild' game has a very distinct taste to it.

The term veggie-burger is blasphemous to begin with. It should be called a vegetable paste sandwich.
To bear the name burger required there be meat between the buns. Add bacon to the burger and you have beef and pork co-habitating in perfect harmony for the sole pleasure of my tastebuds.

Meat is not required to designate something as 'burger':
2 : a sandwich similar to a hamburger -- often used in combination <tofu burger>
Don't be so narrowminded!

Sadly, I have no words of my own for this. Another, better man has stated my feelings in ways I could never hope to equal:
"I noticed something while eating a tender juicy burger the other day. That sometimes, just sometimes if you chew slowly and thoughtfully enough, you can almost taste the cow's soul."

Just like the pope, in all his teutonic splendour, is a sunni muslim...
