After a large disagreement regarding Casey Kasem reading a line as Shaggy for a Burger King hamburger commercial, Kasem quit the role for seven years (1995-2001) due to him being a very strict vegetarian. In 2002, Kasem agreed to come back for "What's New, Scooby-Doo?," on the condition that he could edit any of Shaggy's lines that involved food. In many cases, Kasem edited Shaggy's lines to include him eating vegetarian meals like veggie burgers and meat substitutes such as tofu, presumably to introduce children to an alternative of eating meat.

It was Burger King. And I definitely see where Kasem was coming from in wanting Shaggy to be vegetarian like him, but at the same time, I don't think that's the essence of the character. I like the recent changes you've made to the site btw. Nice improvement. :)
