Burger King and KFC have launched their first plant-based burgers—but not all vegans are on board. As Burger King’s soy-based Rebel Whopper is cooked on the same grill as meat, many non-meat-eaters are refusing to eat it, while KFC has admitted accidentally selling chicken to vegetarians who had ordered its new vegan burger.
Plant-based options at meaty fast-food chains create moral dilemmas for vegans—a result of longstanding concerns over their treatment of animals—but Toni Vernelli, the head of communications at the nonprofit organization Veganuary, says it’s important that vegans show demand for these products.
"Fast-food restaurants don’t have a particular vested interest in serving up dead animals," she says. "They just want to serve products they can make a profit on. So, if we can help them make a profit on products that don’t involve dead animals that can only be a good thing. "
However, José Cil, the CEO of Burger King’s parent company, has said that, when the chain launched the plant-based Impossible Whopper in the US, meat-eaters continued to buy beefburgers at the same rate. "We’re not seeing guests swap the original Whopper for the Impossible Whopper. We’re seeing that it’s attracting new guests," he told investors.
The perception that vegan alternatives are more about profits than ethics puts some vegan consumers off. " It’s obvious to me that these options are just to bring in new customers," says Nancy Nussbaum, an animal rights activist. "They’re not going to stop animals being killed. Activists are exposing the suffering and slaughter these chains inflict on animals. The bosses are terrified, so they’re trying to buy us off with these products and pretending they’re our friends. "
Karin Ridgers, the founder of the online channel Veggie Vision, has seen the dilemma play out in her own family. " I’ve been a vegan for 25 years and I’m not going to set foot inside KFC or McDonald’s," she said. "But my son is 13 and he’s vegan. When he heard about the Greggs vegan sausage rolls, he said; ’ Mum, I can now go into Greggs with my friends. I’m not the odd one out any more. ’
Vernelli believes fast-food options are important for the image of veganism. "We’re constantly told veganism is expensive and a middle-class privilege, so this helps counter the argument that it’s elitist," she says. As veganism enters the mainstream, these kinds of debates are inevitable. Vegans will have to decide where their boundaries rest.
Nancy Nussbaum’s attitude to vegan alternatives can best be described as _________.
选项
A、irritated
B、detached
C、appreciative
D、supportive
答案
A
解析
态度题。根据题干关键词Nancy Nussbaum可定位到第五段。本段开头指出“Vegan alternatires are more about profits than ethics puts some vegan consumers off”,这里put sb.off的意思为“使反感,使疏远”。所以开头就指出这种纯素食替代品让很多素食主义者反感。而后南希.努斯鲍姆指出“对我来说,这些选择显然是为了吸引新客户。他们不会阻止动物被杀死……老板们很害怕,所以他们试图用这些产品收买我们,并假装他们是我们的朋友”。他的话透露出了他对这种纯素食替代品的厌恶和愤怒。故答案选[A]。
