  1. Why are so many vegans/vegetarians obsessed with making their vegetables meat shaped?
    Should we start making meat products shaped like vegetables?

    1. @TheDarthJesus Due to this, high percent of the sons born to women in the high beef consumption group had sperm concentrations below the World Health Organization threshold for subfertility. All this association are related to the presence of anabolic steroids and other xenobiotics in beef

    2. @セ千尺ㄖ丂セ Swiss Cheese is awesome. Free range is the way to go. I don’t know why Switzerland doesnt have any diseases, but youre right if its not sick do not add antibiotics

    3. @セ千尺ㄖ丂セ its false advertising to call it a burger. It is a vegetable pattie. And it does not taste like real meat..and food colouring doesn’t fool anyone into thinking its meat.

  2. Blah, blah, just passing more junk food of as Vegan.

    Processed is always bad, even if it’s vegan.

    Full stop.

    1. some foods have cricket filling in it with 1 tiny tiny label on it, when i seen it in the store i was shocked, how long til companies start using bug filler because its cheaper? and put that tiny tiny label on it

  3. Gross n makes me puke just the smell gags ya. The phony garbage non meat is complete crap. The best meat is the homegrown meat.

  4. Let’s face it… nothing is ‘healthy’ these days.
    If the imposter isn’t cheaper than the real thing, I’d just buy the real thing. Period.

  5. Bean Burger > Beyond Burger > Beef Burger … personal & planetary health aside, the choice should be obvious anyway (ethically) 🌱

  6. Organic meats from sustainable farms are very delicious , but expensive.
