I adore Viz.
They once printed the finest letter ever penned.
Also, this advert for flat roof pubs will never not make me hoot.

Made from vegetarian cows.

Add some lettuce and have yourself a double vegetarian meal!

We had this in texas but it’s illegal now.
I think it’s illegal in six other states too.
Reasons stated: Protect the economics of the cattle industry and to protect public health
No more beyond steak tips in my pasta, For the good of public health and to support the sale of real cow meat that I already never buy…
Lyrl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Growing meat cells in a lab and selling them as food is illegal in the states you reference.
What Beyond does in processing plant material into something that resembles some meat products is still legal everywhere.
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Plant based “meats” are legal in Texas. Lab grown meat is not. Beyond is safe.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Jokes are illegal in Texas? I guess that tracks…

Well… the patty is made of 100% vegan cow, therefore, vegan meat.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
How do you know it was vegan?
moakley@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It wouldn’t shut up about it.
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
I saw a cow eat a baby chicken once
iveseenthat@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
but the chick was vegetarian. “Well, the chick ate a worm…” but the worm was vegetarian

That's the most vegan beef I've seen
ignotum@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Just nut it in
Just put your nuts in it *

D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Question:
If I ‘nut’ in it for you then will it still be 100% vegetarian? And would you still eat it?Valmond@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Depends if you’re a vegetarian ofc
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
No. That would add pork to it.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s a fucking joke, you idiots, how are so many of you this dense?
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
As dense as a vegetarian all beef burger.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
this is just dumb and I’m not even vegetarian or vegan. It reminds me of the kind of stuff this shitstain I went to school with would say, repeatedly and loudly to make sure as many people as possible heard him.

Thank goodness it doesn’t contain genuine feces, only vegan feces.
Right? Right? 🤔

In case you’re serious: definitely not, those civets live in horrendous conditions
Alsjemenou@lemy.nl 5 weeks ago
Yes, but only if you got it from a civet that is roadkill.

That’s how you convert me.
WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 1 month ago
Not me. I like my beef cake with nut.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
So, if the steer dies of old age, surrounded by loved ones, would the beef be vegan? Sounds like the only ‘logic’ that could work for the ad.
9blb@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
The ad is fake and supposed to be a joke.
As for your question: I’d put it on the same level as eating roadkill or your dog that passed away. You could technically considered it vegan, but it is at least weird as fuck and kind of moot, because the people eating meat wouldn’t eat it in the first place.
Allero@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
Lab grown meat, too
Teppichbrand@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Lab meat is a distraction to keep consumers from changing their ways. Like hydrogen for Big Oil, they keep telling us that this technology will have a great impact … In the future! Until then, we don’t need to worry and just continue giving dirty money for their destructive product to an evil industry. All while alternatives in form of plant based meat / solar are getting better and cheaper by the minute.
Seriously, did you try plant meats in the past months? There is no need to wait for lab grown meat anymore. Just buy plant based alternatives and get used to a food that tastes mostly like the animal tissue you’re accustomed to.

It could also be that the owner is named Crompton Veggie, and these are his Veggie burgers
KombatWombat@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It would depend on what definition of vegan you use
Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I mean… teeeeechnically beef is what a giant bovine turns plants into.

As a vegan I actually don’t want it to taste exactly like meat — that’s just creepy and gross.
Gladaed@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Vegan burgers and substitutions are for reducing meat consumption, not enabling vegans. It is much more useful to enable the broad majority to be less harmful, rather than helping a small minority.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
creepy and gross.
We are talking burger here, not your genitals.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
One has severe and immediate ecological implications. Like ‘next few hours’ immediate.
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
No animal-burgers are definitely disturbing if you can see past your own bias.
D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
As a vegetarian I do want it to taste like meat. That’s how you get more people to try veggie meals.
Source: me with my family.
My immediate family now eats less meat due to liking the stuff I have, and more veggie stuff in general.Some even prefer the ‘meat’ burgers -Beyond, Aldi plant based etc- over their old beef burgers.
They wouldn’t have even thought of trying them and be converted if they weren’t any “creepy and gross” alternatives.HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
The best vegan/vegetarian food I’ve had was the stuff that got away from finding substitutes for meat and just did its own thing.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 5 weeks ago
I like both worlds: “traditional” vegan food as well as the processed meat substitutes.
9point6@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
As someone who currently eats meat but trying to reduce consumption for environmental reasons, I 100% want a vegan burger that tastes like the real deal
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Do you try veggie burgers every now and then to see where it’s at, at least?
Because some of them really are good. Or decent at least. Some are less than delicious, but eh.
Definitely they’re improving all the time.
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
Same. Plant-forward veggie burgers are great. Seitan is a revelation.

I was really expecting them to lean into my stupid old joke. I’m a vegetarian once removed, I only eat animals that only eat plants.
Can’t even clear that low bar of creativity.

Krudler@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This is known as a joke.
One of the most sinister problems is with fee-fee vegans and vegetarians, who in service of their ignorance, kill way more things to sustain their politically-motivated and fee-fee-based lifestyle.
I’m as close to vegetarian as my body will allow. I’m just calling the movement for what it is. Kill something with a face? OMG! Flatten millions of acres, farm them with diesel equipment, ship the product in trucks 2000 miles so you can have your vegan potato chips.
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
See the problem is the same as people who think it’s still funny to joke about abusing women. Even ignoring the offensiveness, we’ve heard it already. A million times. It’s old, really old, really uncreative. Boring.
Just like the shitty, thoroughly debunked crop deaths regurgitation. If you’re going to try debating vegans, at least take a few minutes to do some basic research, cause you have no idea how repetitive this is for us.
5redie8@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Wait until you find out what’s eating most of those crops. (It’s not humans)
Hazor@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I don’t quite follow your argument. Are you suggesting it requires more cropland to make vegan food than meat? If everyone ate crop-derived foods in place of livestock-derived foods, we’d need less cropland, because livestock animals are not perfect energy converters. I.e., it takes more than a pound of feed to get a pound of beef.
Or are you saying it’s hypocritical of a vegan/vegetarian to eat products of agriculture because of the damage to the natural environment and animals which reside in it? The only non-hypocritical thing for me to do in that case would be to kill myself. Forgive me if I don’t. Perfect is the enemy of good, and so I’ll choose to minimize harm where I can.

“Made out of 100% real vegetarians” was the old joke
devilish666@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Well technically they’re right about this. Cow eat grass, and grass is a vegetation. Cow can turn grass into meat, so technically beef is vegetarian meat.
daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Bruh, that’s just cringe. Why is people’s diet a part of the culture war?
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Well, carrion would be vegan, no?
If that animal was to die of natural causes, like sickness, lightning strike, old age, heart attack, etc. it could be considered vegan

Samsy@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
“we don’t know… they just are.” Could be a slogan for the whole meat industry.
