Fast Food? Vegans say no, thanks.

 Dear Editors:

 The notion that vegans might support Burger King goes to show that one can
 find somebody with a Web site to say just about anything (Andy Lamey, "Holy
 Cow! Vegans Like Burger King"; 26 June, at F7).  If fast-food sales are
 under fire, vegans should be the last ones to come to their rescue.
 Thoughtful vegetarianism considers not only a company's menu, but also its
 general track record of social and environmental responsibility, before
 buying what that company is selling.  The major burger chains come up short
on all counts.

 Friends of Animals, a U.S.-based, international organization working to end
 humanity's exploitation of other animals since 1957, encourages people to
 support local vegetarian restaurants.  Surely, a key part of being vegan is
 offering support to the everyday people who do their best to create an
 ethical culture.
