ANDY Wiederhorn wants to sell bacon to vegetarians.

That's the idea, anyway, behind the Hypocrite Burger - a veggie patty topped by two strips of bacon. Mr Wiederhorn, chief executive officer of Beverly Hills, California-based Fatburger Corp, is pushing sales of the sandwich in his 200 fast-food restaurants to take advantage of wholesale prices that dropped about two-thirds from a year ago.
