"we don't know... they just are." Could be a slogan for the whole meat industry.

Its from Viz magazine! One of the UKs funniest and most sarcastic publications of all time.

I adore Viz.

They once printed the finest letter ever penned.

Also, this advert for flat-roof pubs will never not make me hoot.

A Viz advert for council estate flat roof pubs, featuring such gold as "Whether it's a man in the gents asking if you want to buy a polar bear cub, or someone bleeding heavily from a head wound at the end of the bar, you're always guaranteed a welcome of sorts at a flat-roof pub!"

Made with 100℅ real vegetarians!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

It’s a fucking joke, you idiots, how are so many of you this dense?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

As dense as a vegetarian all beef burger.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

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...

[-] [email protected] 42 points 3 days 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.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

Plant based "meats" are legal in Texas. Lab grown meat is not. Beyond is safe.

Good to see the users here are as good at recognising a joke as they've ever been.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Well... the patty is made of 100% vegan cow, therefore, vegan meat.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I saw a cow eat a baby chicken once

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

but the chick was vegetarian. "Well, the chick ate a worm..." but the worm was vegetarian

Of course it's a plant, it's 100% vegetarian!

[-] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That's the most vegan beef I've seen

Disappointed there's no nut in it

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just nut in it

Just put your nuts in it *

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.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 consider it "vegan", as there is no exploitation or (additional) suffering involved, 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.

If you go by the literal definition, it's not vegan because eating animals is not vegan, obviously.

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 a 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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

The cost is a big turn off for most people. At grocery stores near me, the Impossible and Beyond products are more than double the price of the meat products they are imitating. In part because livestock feed is hugely subsidized by the government.

If the plant-based meat alternatives could gain efficiency through scale and experience to lower the cost below animal meat, we would see way more people trying them and finding what dishes they work best in, which would feed back into scaled market demand. But I don't see that kind of explosive growth potential at current price levels.

It could also be that the owner is named Crompton Veggie, and these are his Veggie burgers

Alpha-Gal is coming for you...

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days 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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Thank goodness it doesn't contain genuine feces, only vegan feces.

Not me. I like my beef cake with nut.

"Made out of 100% real vegetarians" was the old joke
