    Congrats to the meat-farmers and -industry! It shows you are “winning” the game against vegetarians and vegans. Now you can finally stop your usual whining about subsidies and the like - everything solved eh?

      I’m sorry, but the “green” burgers aren’t burgers. It’s the same like calling margarine butter.

        That’s why they’re called veggie burgers, or are you just unfamiliar with how language works? Would you accept a glass of body milk with your breakfast?

        The same boomers whining about “vegan burgers” also whine about margarine being called margarine instead of butter, all while hating real butter for being “hard to spread and tasting the same”.

          You’re supposed to leave the butter out of the fridge. And tastes really good, unlike margarine.

        Yeah “green” burgers don’t involve torturing sentient beings.

            Vegan Bullshit Bingo #22

            Plants have feelings too

            No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants “die” for animal feeding. Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question…

            Edit: Getting downvoted for scientific facts.

              I just stated a fact. I didn’t share my opinion on veganism. You just established that you aren’t against the torturing of sentient beings and that you think life dying in order to support other life is a good thing. That you do infact see some life as inferior to other life. I just wanted to point out your extremely poor choice of words lol

                Let’s say plants can suffer:

                • Option 1: Torture and kill 4kcal worth of plant, then feed it to an animal. Torture and kill that animal. Calories produced: 1kcal. Suffering generated: 4kcal plants + 1kcal animal.
                • Option 2: Torture and kill 1kcal of plant. Eat it. Calories produced: 1kcal. Suffering generated: 1kcal plant

                Therefore: A vegan always produces less suffering than a vegetarian or omnivore.

        They tend to advertise very heavily they are not meat, because they want to be found -specifically - by people looking to purchase things that are not meat. Claiming there’s some form of “trickery” afoot is high horseshit
