Restaurant chains marked with *VRG are ones for which almost all information was obtained from Michael Keevican's article 'What's In Fast Food?' from the VRG's Vegetarian Journal. These restaurant chains are by no means vegetarian, they are just listed here to make you aware of what is, or what may soon be, available to you in fast food restaurants, and also what is to be avoided. Arby's - Vegan items: Baked Potato, Potato Cakes, Apple Turnover, Blueberry Turnover, Cherry Turnover, Chocolate Syrup, Jamocha Syrup, Side Salad, Lite Italian dressing, Sub Dressing, Arby's Sauce. - They are presently testing vegetable pita pockets which contain broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and celery. - Their french fries, which would otherwise be vegan, may be deep fried in the same oil as non-vegetarian items.

Call Burger King's "customer comment hotline" at 1-800-YES-1-800 and ask to have it made available in your area. - At this moment all Burger Kings sell a vegetarian Whopper, which is just a regular Whopper with the meat pattie removed.

Taco Bell - Note: Many Taco Bells will now refuse to serve Bean Tacos claiming that they are dangerous, "the beans will ooze out and burn our hands". - An item that is currently (**July 1995) being tested, at least in the Sacramento/Chico, California area is the "Double Decker Taco." It's a normal taco wrapped inside a flour tortilla, with beans spread between them.

If you are vegan, request no cheese or sour cream. - Their cheese does not contain animal rennet.

Wendy's - Apparently Wendy's is test marketing a 'Veggie Burger'.
