    The Vegan Butcher

    Is this the sequel to "The Vegetable Killer" ?

    I tried to go vegan. It made me realise I love meat. It was a big missed steak.

      I like my meat looking and tasting like real meat, that why I grind it up, mix it with spices, shape it like a carrot, stick in a wheat bun, cover it in onion and sauerkraut, drown it in tomato sauce, and add a dash of mustard.

      Mmmmm, pigs arse

          they literally just described a sausage.

      • Stivo on 03/05/2023 - 11:06

        Sounds like a tasty recipe. But do you go around calling it fake vegetarian food? I mean its processed to all hell and has plenty of veggies mixed in.

        • besttraveltech on 03/05/2023 - 12:34
          +2

          No, vegetarians don't have a sook about what processed food is called…

          It tends to be meat eaters who screech "you can't call it a hamburger if it doesn't have any ham in it!", completely oblivious to Hamburer meaning "a sandwich preparedin the style of Hamburg, Austria".

          Maybe they're scared they'll pick-up a sweet-potato and pumpkin patty and accidentally reach their 5-a-day.

          Funnily enough, meat eaters have been eating largely soy "meat pies" for decades without noticing:

          Filling (63%) [Water, No Added Hormone Australian Beef (40%), Thickener (1422), Textured Soy Protein, Seasoning (Maltodextrin, Salt, Natural Flavouring, Soy Sauce Powder Soy Sauce [Defatted (Soybean), Wheat, Salt, Water]

          But they haven't noticed because they don't read the packet. So it seems they don't really care what's in it, they're probably just scared of the world changing without them.

          • Stivo on 03/05/2023 - 12:59

            @besttraveltech: You just created a false identity for me and then argued against it. Clap Clap

          Overall, the "vegetable industry" is much better for animals than the "animal slaughtering industry".

          Don't compare best-case animal slaughter with worst-case agriculture with a hypothetical scenario that is irrelevant 99% of the time…
