I think it matters a huge amount what the BK in question was doing. If they were just flipping beef patties and plant-based patties on the same cooktop with no separation or cleaning in between, then I think the plaintiff has a valid point. If you cook vegan food on a surface covered in beef fat, it's no longer vegan. If they're just using the same piece of stainless steel and it'd been cleaned beforehand then it's ridiculous.

Disagree that it’s ridiculous, as the goal of a vegan is to not consume animal products. And by consuming, increase the production by pressing the “demand side” button.

For health reasons, like gluten, a perfect separation makes sense. But as long as people know this is what’s up, I think it’s okay. (And, specifically, they are not ridiculous for reusing it he same steel)

I think we're actually saying the same thing.
