Support it or lose it! So if you're lucky enough to live near a Wendy's which is offering a veggie burger, be sure to give it a try!  Jolinda Hackett Vegetarian Food Expert Veggie burgers are coming to Wendy's! Other countries have more vegetarian options, including McDonald's veggie burgers in India, Greece, Slovenia, Sweden and the UK. KFC even started offering vegan chicken - but only in Canada. What's an American got to do to get a national chain to offer some vegetarian options? Now, Wendy's fast food hamburger chain is testing out veggie burgers to offer alongside their usual hamburgers. The catch? They're still in the testing phase, and haven't yet rolled them out nationwide yet. Find out where you can get a Wendy's veggie burger here.  Of course, if fast food isn't your thing, you can always pick up some veggie burgers in the store, or try your hand at making your own veggie burgers at home.    READ NOW Share I can't believe it's not chicken!
