Joe Montana Loves a Good Veggie Burger

I got a story the other day through my “Super Bowl” Google alert that kind of surprised me. The story is about legendary San Francisco 49er QB Joe Montana having high blood pressure, but check out his great quote: "I would never have ordered a veggie burger before, but I just love a good veggie burger now," he says. "It's strange how your tastes change when you put your mind to it."

Some people do it to stop cruelty to animals, some for the environment, and others to fight world hunger. And some eat veggie meals purely out of self interest. Whatever, I still think it’s pretty cool that Joe Cool is eating veggie burgers these days.

Here are some of our favorites, Joe.

JOHN STEWART get the hell out of this site... you don't belong with people who have a heart and feel compassion... you definetely belong in a farm factory instead of the animals and when the butcher is ready to cut you up and you're still alive let's see if you feel so spunky and courageous... you are the one who does not have any feelings... I feel sorry for you ....

apple chronic wasting disease CWDin deer isn't the same as BSE however it does involve prions. In short BSE doesn't spread to deer. It is a seperate disease. It is not known whether it is transmissible to humans that eat it.

Has any ar's activist ever taken a course in "Philosophy for Dummies" that can help me to understand the philosophical Ray0 question "If meat never pretends to be soy then how can soy pretend to be meat?" post 101907 538pm. That's too deep for me!

Personally I enjoy the Smart Brand Tofu stuff even though I haven't researched the product all that much. I don't eat the veggie burgers at Burger King but that's cause I don't go there. I'm glad Burger King is moving a step forward but I still think we should ban all fast food until they get their "shit" in better order. Pun totally intended. Um I'm glad to hear that Joe Montana likes veggie burgers. I've never really had a veggie product I couldn't tolerate and I gotta say if someone out there says they can't stand them at all then I don't think they've even tried one. But oh well people are better off from staying away from heavily processed foods period. Every once in a while is ok but even if it were a veggie burger if you ate it every day three square meals a day it would probably do you worse in the long run. But I was wondering if anyone else has heard of the smart brand foods and if they know anything more about the company? Just curious.

"Has anyone tried the Morningstar Prime Grillers? Every meateater who has tried them says they're better than their own hamburgers!" posted 101807 1222pm. Then we have the space cadet come along in post 101907 1009pm who took the liberty of partially quoting the first post and used it to make another outburst by being "doubtful." Yet did it ever occur to the space cadet that the person who posted that comment just might happen to personally know the people who tried them and in fact did say they are better? Oh btw CJDisease can have the advantage over venison burgers.

I've said it before and I've said it again. Soy is soy. Meat is meat. Soy should act like and meat should act like meat. If meat never pretends to be soy then how can soy pretend to be meat?

Hmmm chance of contracting incurable braineating disease that causes you to slowly deteriorate until you die heart conditions and various other problems vs 10 min of enjoying a burger...Nope sorry still don't think it's worth it. P.S. You know BSE can spread to deer too right?

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
