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

Thank you! Everyone else posting here is insane
mercano@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Made from vegetarian cows.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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 10 months 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 10 months ago
Plant based “meats” are legal in Texas. Lab grown meat is not. Beyond is safe.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Jokes are illegal in Texas? I guess that tracks…
iveseenthat@reddthat.com 10 months ago
Well… the patty is made of 100% vegan cow, therefore, vegan meat.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How do you know it was vegan?
moakley@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It wouldn’t shut up about it.
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I saw a cow eat a baby chicken once
iveseenthat@reddthat.com 10 months ago
but the chick was vegetarian. “Well, the chick ate a worm…” but the worm was vegetarian
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 10 months ago
That's the most vegan beef I've seen
ignotum@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Just nut it in
Just put your nuts in it *
Just put nuts in it *
D_C@sh.itjust.works 10 months 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 10 months ago
Depends if you’re a vegetarian ofc
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 10 months ago
No. That would add pork to it.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s a fucking joke, you idiots, how are so many of you this dense?
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 10 months ago
As dense as a vegetarian all beef burger.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 10 months 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.
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s literally in shitpost…

Thank goodness it doesn’t contain genuine feces, only vegan feces.
Right? Right? 🤔
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Don’t start the ‘is poop vegan’ discourse. Please.
MBM@lemmings.world 10 months ago
In case you’re serious: definitely not, those civets live in horrendous conditions
Alsjemenou@lemy.nl 10 months ago
Yes, but only if you got it from a civet that is roadkill.
dumbass@leminal.space 10 months ago
That’s how you convert me.
WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 10 months ago
Not me. I like my beef cake with nut.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago
Lab grown meat, too
Teppichbrand@feddit.org 10 months 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.
Lumisal@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It could also be that the owner is named Crompton Veggie, and these are his Veggie burgers
KombatWombat@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It would depend on what definition of vegan you use
Tattorack@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I mean… teeeeechnically beef is what a giant bovine turns plants into.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
my BODY is a MACHINE that turns GRASS into HAMBURGERS

As a vegan I actually don’t want it to taste exactly like meat — that’s just creepy and gross.
Gladaed@feddit.org 10 months 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 10 months ago
creepy and gross.
We are talking burger here, not your genitals.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
One has severe and immediate ecological implications. Like ‘next few hours’ immediate.
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
No animal-burgers are definitely disturbing if you can see past your own bias.
D_C@sh.itjust.works 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago
I like both worlds: “traditional” vegan food as well as the processed meat substitutes.
9point6@lemmy.world 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago
Same. Plant-forward veggie burgers are great. Seitan is a revelation.
NotACentrifugalBird@infosec.pub 10 months ago
Abbatoir Rd is a nice touch.

About on par with usual omni mental gymnastics.
4grams@awful.systems 10 months ago
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.
tempest@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
You don’t pocket mulch?
Krudler@lemmy.world 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago
Wait until you find out what’s eating most of those crops. (It’s not humans)
Hazor@lemmy.world 10 months 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
daggermoon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Bruh, that’s just cringe. Why is people’s diet a part of the culture war?
devilish666@lemmy.world 10 months 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.
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 10 months 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
Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 months ago
Made with 100℅ real vegetarians!
Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
“we don’t know… they just are.” Could be a slogan for the whole meat industry.
