What will it take for the eaters of dead animals to wake up? Maybe repetitive nightmares?
News hit today that Burger King is using bizarre and twisted logic (that will sadly possibly work due to epidemic levels of denial in humanity) to advertise a halloween burger that literally is scientifically shown to cause nightmares.
In partnership with the Paramount Trials and Florida Sleep & Neuro Diagnostic Services, Inc. and Goldforest Inc., the Burger King® brand conducted a scientific study over 10 nights with 100 participants (or should we say victims?) who ate the Nightmare King before they went to bed. By tracking various signals from the sleeping subjects including their heart rate, brain activity and breath, a group of doctors and scientists identified whether the individuals had vivid dreams.
“According to previous studies, 4% of the population experiences nightmares in any given night” said Dr. Jose Gabriel Medina, a specialized somnologist and the study’s lead doctor. “But, after eating the Nightmare King, the data obtained from the study indicated that the incidence of nightmares increased by 3.5 times.”
Dr. Medina points out that the unique combination of proteins and cheese in the Nightmare King led to “an interruption of the subjects’ REM (Rapid Eye Movement) cycles, during which we experience the majority of our dreams.”

As plant based Doctor Neal Barnard points out:
Of course, nightmares aren’t as scary another sleep-related consequence of fatty animal products: sleep apnea, which can be caused by obesity and is linked to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and other health conditions. A recent study found that participants who consumed high-fat diets experienced more severe sleep apnea compared to those who consumed diets with less fat. More than two servings of dairy a day and processed meat intake also worsened symptoms.
But rest easy, a plant-based diet can provide sweet dreams. One study found that diets rich in fiber and low in saturated fat can lead to deeper, more restorative sleep. It’s not uncommon for people who have improved their diets to report that they feel energized during the day and sleep better at night. When reporter Jere Downs traded greasy burgers and fries for green smoothies and chickpea sandwiches on a vegan challenge, she reported that her “sleep is deep and uninterrupted. My eyes pop open at 6 a.m.”
So nix the Nightmare King and try our Good Night’s Sleep Garbanzo Bean Burger instead.

So if you don't want to literally cause a nightmare for yourself and for the animals of this world - the vegan approach is the way to go.
