I’m not criticizing liking a good burger. there’s nothing like a good burger.
McDonalds barely qualifies as ‘edible’; never mind food… and forget “good”
as for nuggets… I like to be able to tell what I’m actually eating. Pureed chicken product…? no thank you. (pop corn chicken is still “chicken”… it’s not heavily processed into a sludge before being shaped. It’s just bits of “waste” chicken that get chopped into that form. Trimmings, or possibly breasts chopped to shape.) (chicken tenders are from a strip inside the chicken breast- frequently they’re part of the breast, but there’s a bit of connective tissue between.)
Having seen the tube the chicken nuggets are extruded from at a meat plant, at least in Canada they’re pretty much just chicken. Looks like refried beans, sure, but it’s chicken.
While the initial grind is fairly thick. The continuous mixer they dump it into with all those lovely chemicals, continues breaking it down (and drying it out.)
(For the record that picture he keeps coming back to is frozen yogurt or ice cream. If it’s pink it’s cherry or strawberry.)
the meat industry kills animals for consumption and requires more land than a crop producing farm alone would. emissions from those farms are killing the environment and would be partially responsible for the death of humanity within the next 200 years. However, they are not the only thing which is murdering our planet. We can and should move to a less meat centric diet, sure. but that’s not everything we need to do in order to prevent the murder of humanity. Everything modern life touches is murder. The means of transportation we take to go to work, the electricity we consume, the clothes we wear, the items we consume all contribute to our own demise. And companies will try to greenwash themselves, sellinrg things with ‘natural ingredients’, being ‘carbon neutral’ or ‘100% recycled’. But in fact, they are just as bad or worse than their competitors, and use their eco-friendly marketing to get you to buy their products, often at a steep markup, for no tangible difference in what they are actually doing for the planet.
you can say that I’m pathetic. sure, I am. But you’re stuck in the same consumeristic capitalist hellscape I am.
Maybe you should make statements a little less facile than “meat is murder” when every dollar you spend is another nail in our communal coffin.
It’s not so complex, to make meat, it requires growing crops and then raising the animal. If you cut out the raising animal part and eat the crops you have partaken in less death of animals. We all live with the conditions we have been put into though, I don’t blame anyone or think anyone is pathetic.
It really does harm the planet more to consume meat than vegetables, at least on the commercial level, since we then have to process and transport the grain to feed the livestock. My problem with meat isn’t necessarily with the death of the animal. Obviously, I’m a proponent of humane conditions for the animal while they’re alive and humane methods of death when they die; my problem lies with the commercialized food system in general. We have become so far removed from the process that most of us don’t even know or care where our food comes from.
Never underestimate a fat man’s urgent hunger for hamberders and nuggets.
The question I guess, is when was the last time he didn’t have a gofer.
I covfefe
You know what?
You’re gonna make me defend this motherfucker.
Quit badmouthing even vegans love burger they just make him out of something different.
Which I stand by actually makes them fucking sandwiches cause you don’t get a chicken burger, you get a chicken sandwich.
But that is neither here nor there.
Who the fuck doesn’t love a good burger?
Nuggets personally, I’m not that big of a fan of most.
I do do popcorn chicken though

I like to call this video “how vegetarians are made.”

The guys from Mondo Burger.
They just need some of Ed’s special sauce
You keep spelling it wrong.
I didn’t love a burger. Meat is murder.
everything about modern life is murder. meat isn’t special in that regard.
You’re pathetic.

I knew some vegans would need to shout so I included you with veggie patties already.
Nice try
