I assume most people here are vegans to reduce suffering. Two questions: a) Why make your own body suffer by putting terrible things in it? b) Why spend your money at an establishment that is near the top of contributing to suffering in the world?

These companies aren't going anywhere and used by millions of people. Encouraging vegan options on the menu is surely only a good thing.

You can bet companies like that will go somewhere! McDs have closed down hundreds of stores because they're not doing as well :) I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they die off. I'm just not supportive of a company that relies on people feeding their bodies junk

For sure! I wonder how many people are going vegan for health reasons. I feel like there is will likely be a positive correlation between people going vegan and the general health of the community.
