Cows eat grass, so cows are vegetarian, so these are vegetarian burgers.
Ah yes, transitive veganism
I like my veggies pre filtered
I do love me a good bit of Viz.

I feel like this is a meme that would make its rounds in the local neighborhoods of my NextDoor.
I’m pretty certain my local NextDoor would express absolute anger and disgust at this very real advertisement. Boycott Crompton Farms, they’ll demand.
Based.
Would lab grown meat be vegetarian?
It would not be vegetarian. Vegetarianism isn’t inherently an ethical stance; it’s a “no eating meat” stance. People can do it for health reasons, religious ones, environmental ones, and ethical ones (the latter is not internally consistent, but it is something people do specifically because it feels more ethical). But the reason for doing it doesn’t change the underlying bedrock of “no meat”.
Would it be vegan? I’m going to guess that while most vegans would consider it “less bad”, they’d still point to the gargantuan amount of animal testing, murder, and tissue harvesting that goes into researching and producing lab-grown meat. Even the Impossible Burger is considered nonvegan and just “plant-based” by a substantial portion of vegans who know about how Impossible decided to perform animal testing even when it wasn’t strictly necessary legally and made no fucking sense logically. The R&D alone for lab-grown meat is orders of magnitude beyond that.
Feels like a Beef and Dairy Network gaff but I guess it isn’t.
I’m dying. Why is this so funny?
I don’t understand how this is supposed to be funny
We don’t know… It just is!!!
because the literal opposite happens with people making chicken fingers that contain no chicken and other crap like that.
Oh I see it’s funny because you’re offended that meat substitutes exist. Incredibly cringe.
that they exist? no…more options is better obviously. that they say chicken or meat terms, yes.
🙄
To me it’s funny because of the ridiculousness of the cultural pride in beef consumption
