This is why AMERICA! will spawn chains of FRESH! KILLED! restaurants where you can point at an animal or underprivileged unfortunate, watch them be killed, dressed and prepared for your table.


Sounds like West Hollywood love story in Ed Buckleys house.

Burger King wins dismissal of vegans' lawsuit over Impossible Whopper

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit accusing Burger King of deceiving vegan, vegetarian and other customers into thinking it cooked the plant-based patties for its "Impossible Whopper" on different grills than those used to cook beef and chicken.

In a decision on Monday, U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida said the seven plaintiffs failed to show that reasonable consumers were deceived into paying higher prices because of Burger King's actual cooking methods.

He said the plaintiffs did not ask about Burger King's cooking method or request an alternative to satisfy their dietary requirements, and that the company's advertising did not promise cooking on a different surface.

"Burger King promised a non-meat patty and delivered," Singhal wrote. The judge also found the plaintiffs' claims "too individualized" to justify a class action.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond on Tuesday to requests for comment. The plaintiffs can amend most of their claims if they wish.

Burger King is a unit of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International Inc.

Impossible Foods Inc, which helped create the Impossible Whopper, has said it was designed for meat eaters who want to consume less animal protein, not for vegans or vegetarians.

The case is Williams v Burger King Corp, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, No. 19-24755

I bought some impossible patties and made a burger last month. I didn't like it at all, and didn't finish my burger. I was surprised because I've heard so many ppl rave about them, it makes me think maybe I got a bad batch or my other ingredients were foul or something...

I'll try it again in the future, and will make sure to have a real burger to taste against it.

You've got to fry it in burger grease. That's what gives it flavor.

Whatever you eat, Eat organic(No pesticide or antibiotics),without human gene alteration and industrial processing.
God(synonym with nature in many religions) has given us best food without "capitalistic profit requirements".

My name for it: Margarine Meat

It has lots of the unhealthy fats and oils found in Margarine

I was skeptical as I've always hated veggie burgers and have resisted until now. What changed my mind was how people I know kept telling me they are awesome.

So guess what? They are FUCKING awesome! I mean it. Best $18 I spent on food since I dunno when.


I was a vegetarian for 25 years. I find the "impossible burger" pretty awful. First, it tastes like plastic, certainly artificial, and digesting it is like if it's plastic.

Better get a a hell or high watermelon hefeweizen at 21A, not that impossible margarine meat

The one thing there is no supply chain crisis on is "Plant-based Proteins". Winn Dixie or Publix or IGA, the freezer section is fully stacked with that crap.

Why did you decide to give it up after 25 years?
21   BayArea   2021 Nov 23, 9:49am

But it’s not great by any stretch of the imagination.

My dog was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer at 9 years old, and I was told he had about 6 months to live so. I was pretty upset and figured I'd give him an awesome last 6 months, so I began to cook for him. He actually ended up living to 16, but it was cirrhosis that ultimately forced me to euthanize him. He got ascites (fluid build up around the liver in the abdomen) and I forced my vet to drain it twice and finally my vet said I was being crazy and I shouldn't put him through it again. He was otherwise healthy and happy but it was messing with his digestive system, and would eventually cause hydrocephalus (fluid build up in the brain) so I bought an extra month for him.

Since I cooked for him, I cooked for my other dog as well and dogs aren't vegetarian. I confined myself to mostly chicken, sometimes beef. Both got some kibble as well, if they wanted to eat it.

When I had to put my last dog down, it was both sudden and expected, but I was in denial at the time, so I had a ton of chicken left over when I had to put her down (she also made it to 16 too) she died 2 years after my male. I wasn't particularly strict about being a vegetarian, and it was already dead, so I ate it - no point in letting it go to waste. Then a few months later this stupid pandemic hit and there were MASSIVE culls of animals across the country.

So I was vegetarian over moral reasons, but it doesn't make a difference really. You can't make any difference that way. It's less of a hassle NOT to be a vegetarian, I still am not much of a meat eater, but really, it makes no difference.

My attitude has changed dramatically over the last few years.

I was not a fan of meat in general, largely because I grew up in a household where cooked meat = shoe leather. Later on, after a severe abdominal injury, my body started craving red meat. It took a while, but eventually I figured out what was happening to me - trauma-induced celiac disease. I had to cut out all wheat/rye/barley carbs for a few years. That meant that I had to replace 50% of my caloric intake with fat/protein (the standard American diet is ~50% carbs). After trying various substitutes (more protein, more dairy/animal fat) I was still not settled on a sustainable diet, until I discovered 100% grass-fed beef.

The beauty of 100% grass-fed is that the fat is actually good for you (it's loaded with K2, etc.), so I just eat the fattiest cuts of grass-fed, then supplement with dairy fat.

!00% grass-fed is the meat our pre-human up to hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on. In the modern age, this tabernacle of health has been corrupted by industrial feedlot methods. Nobody should eat feedlot ("grain - finished") meat on a regular basis. It's the meat from literally diseased cows (grain consumption destroys ruminants' digestive systems). The fat from these poor animals is actually bad for you - having a much higher proportion of inflammation-promoting Omega-6 fats.

Pork or chicken is an inferior substitute for beef, largely because, as omnivores, their flesh/fat has inherently less micronutrients than 100% grass-fed beef.

Sounds like you are making a good case for eating bison and deer.

Even as a vegetarian, I did miss venison...
