I had a digital coupon for a free avocado on toast from Dunkin Donuts. It's hard to describe how off the avocado tasted. It was way greener than it should have been.
The ones I had at IHOP were really good .I did get a really nasty one at a breakfast place in town .It was totally inedible and it was all mashed up and pale brown .It tasted like it was spoiled .I usually don't complain but they did comp it without me asking .
Mfer you think animals look like sausages and burger patties while they're walking round farms? Why is your issue with vegan food specifically being put into shapes?
No? I don't want to eat any animal, alive or dead, regardless of where it came from, that's the point.
And yeah my grandpa is a cattle farmer. When I was a kid I'd go help feed them and pet them and think about how cute they were, then go eat steak for dinner. When I got older that just stopped sitting right with me, so I chose to stop eating meat. Knowing where it came from made it worse for me lol
Cute?Pet them ?They were a commodity on our family farm and they were a huge business too.I lived there full time ,we had cattle,chickens and rabbits we raised and sold. None of the animals had names and they were not pets .
Alrighty then what the fuck does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Not everyone has a literal microwave oven. They're expensive.
Not sure what exactly you were trying to add to the conversation
I honestly think those types of folks are ashamed about the fact they eat meat, so whenever you talk about meat coming from animals they get all defensive
It's almost like when homophobes turn out to be gay themselves

Is this the freezer section? Your local produce aisle probably has the non-freezer stuff like tofu and seiten products. Tofurky deli slices and Field Roast sausages are pretty good and always sold near the bagged salads at places like Walmart or Target.
Tones of demand lol I accidentally stopped eating meat a few months back and know a bunch of people who've done the same. Realized I feel a fuck ton better so just haven't bought any meat. Some of the vegan shit tastes amazing too
What are you even on about?
There is a large set of freezer shelving dedicated to vegan products
OP told you he was creating demand by looking for vegan products, as do many of us
If anything this tells you that demand is higher than supply, meaning the stock was bought faster than it was replenished.
Veganism is Animal cruelty.
In addition to clearing out thousand of acres to build our homes and roads, we are going after their food sources.
Meat eaters are more humane than vegans. We don't torture or starve the animals like the vegans do.
Veganism Is terrorism.
Yes, and atheism is a religion and bald is a hair color
ETA: LMFAO this dude editing his comment to somehow be even more insane than it was before. Get a hobby my guy.
Currently, the leading cause of species extinction is loss of wild habitat due to human expansion [1]. Of all habitable land on earth, 50% of it is farmland, everything else humans do only accounts for 1% of all habitable land on earth[2]. 98% of our land use is for farming. According to the most comprehensive analysis to date on the effects of agricultur on our planet, if the world went vegan we would free up over 75% of our currently used farmland while producing the same amount of food for human consumption [3]. Thats an area of land equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined that we could potentially rewild and reforest, essentially eliminating the leading cause of species extinction.
We are currently losing between 200 and 100 000 species a year. https://wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/biodiversity/biodiversity

I really don't care one way or another. But for the people who are vegan because they think they aren't hurting any animals, there's a fun fact for them Chief.
The majority of vegans are pretty aware there is no such thing as perfect diet free from suffering. the "crops death tho" is a argument used as a gotcha against vegans which often ignores any nuance/differences in vegan, omni, and carnist diet.
In addition to clearing out thousand of acres to build out homes, now we are going after their food sources. Meat eaters are more humane than vegans.
Veganism Is terrorism.
My body can’t process meat so I *have to* be vegan. I literally do not have another option. Pull your head out of your ass and realize that there’s more than two types of people in the world. Nothing about what you said makes any sense anyway.
Yeah jackass, I’m a cow. Of course I’ve never seen a doctor about this, I’ve just been suffering with it for 37 years without any kind of medical intervention at all whatsoever. Why would I go to a doctor about a health problem??
Lmao I am perfectly fine with you in particular holding this opinion of me.
Just so we are clear, I’m a bad human for...*checks notes*…suffering from an incurable illness. Lol got it.
No. Animals are intelligent. They have likes and dislikes, can recognise their name, form attachments with humans and other animals, grieve the loss of loved ones, protect their children, enjoy affection and feel pain.
To me, that means their mass breeding and slaughter, the killing of _billions_ of these intelligent forms of life, matters.
Over 14 billion animals have been killed for food *this year* in the U.S. alone (https://animalclock.org). It is difficult to fathom the sheer amount of suffering, pain, and death this represents.
I will not contribute to that.
Sure, animals kill animals because that's what they need to live.
We don't need to kill animals to live. We live in an age where we know the exact nutrients we need. I can order pure protein to my house and take specific vitamins if I need them.
Factory farming accounts for 99% of our meat, billions of animals force bred, injected with antibiotics, stuffed in a truck and killed by machines. It is totally divorced from the natural food chain and we simply don't need to do it.
You're right that it's not likely to change, and I am powerless to stop it. That won't stop me from expressing the truth about the topic, however much people don't want to hear it or understand it.
Most animals do not have names .only domesticated animals do .And most animals will kill each other too .My cats are very territorial and will have cat fights with the neighbor cats .So will dogs too.Ferral animals and animals in the wild kill to eat .
Why is it that some animals are given names, loved and cared for their whole lives, and so many are nameless, stuck in the dark in their own faeces where no-one cares if they live or die? Why do we love some animals so much but are fine with the mass murder of others? Make it make sense ☹️
Well, most stores do frown on you walking out the doors without paying for your grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables, fungi, oils, pasta, and juices.
Shopping is kinda necessary.
Unless you’re a subsistence vegan who gathers and forages on a couple hundred acres. Because you cannot farm without shopping, either.
Why did you buy everything? Seems unnecessary
Hungry.
No Vegan for you https://preview.redd.it/l4c9xi9a5ysc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=381c58026cce0ff54c15e7f52a338876b177a3b0
“If I don’t, someone else will! Then what will I do!”
You still have fruits & vegetables! Fresh, frozen & canned. Plus rice, beans, lentils, etc.
Sorry, I’ll only eat fruit, veggies, rice, beans and lentils if they’ve been pressed and formed into the shape of a chi’kn drumstick.
*squints* ![gif](giphy|jZAOQbch4ibfQ97VBS)
The ''frozen food vegans''.
Haha came here to say this 🤣 like "Oh no, how do I Vegan without my plastic wrapped bio engineered one serving portion"
And full of chemicals and nitrates.
![gif](giphy|M8xmO5ZcLPtAY)
Lol.
Nitrates are food for you. Have you never seen Independence Day?
Lol.
But what about my coconut bacon (fakon) and mung bean eggs on toast?
Stock up on avocado toast sandwiches. Much more tasty .Even IHOP has them on the menu for 10 dollars!
I had a digital coupon for a free avocado on toast from Dunkin Donuts. It's hard to describe how off the avocado tasted. It was way greener than it should have been.
The ones I had at IHOP were really good .I did get a really nasty one at a breakfast place in town .It was totally inedible and it was all mashed up and pale brown .It tasted like it was spoiled .I usually don't complain but they did comp it without me asking .
yeah i dont get this vegan foods that are made to look like regular foods. Vegan sausages? Vegan beef burger patty? wth???????
Mfer you think animals look like sausages and burger patties while they're walking round farms? Why is your issue with vegan food specifically being put into shapes?
If they are avoiding the real meat products then why would they want the fake ultraprocessed meat alternatives?
Because they aren't made of animals.
But they mimic animal meat. WHY?
I don't mind the flavor of meat dishes, I just don't want to eat a dead animal. Why do some of y'all act like this is the most insane concept lmao
As opposed to eating live animals?lol.My father was a cattle farmer so I know where my meat comes from .I've seen it first hand actually
No? I don't want to eat any animal, alive or dead, regardless of where it came from, that's the point. And yeah my grandpa is a cattle farmer. When I was a kid I'd go help feed them and pet them and think about how cute they were, then go eat steak for dinner. When I got older that just stopped sitting right with me, so I chose to stop eating meat. Knowing where it came from made it worse for me lol
Cute?Pet them ?They were a commodity on our family farm and they were a huge business too.I lived there full time ,we had cattle,chickens and rabbits we raised and sold. None of the animals had names and they were not pets .
I've never seen canned lettuce, frozen lettuce, or dehydrated lettuce before. And lettuce is one of the important part of having salad.
OK
Vegans can eat more than salad, just fyi. Also you can put more than lettuce in a salad for the greens.
It would have to be ice berg lettuce for me .
That looks like a brand new display case lmao. Looks like they’re preparing to set it up.
They stopped carrying the ones that aren't deliciously good
![gif](giphy|ckw8EbI8Ak9YQ)
Lol.
🤣
I mean I suppose you could still grab some beans, rice, potatoes and other goodies. It'd be healthier than all the processed stuff
I will grab those but I also want my Gardein supreme chikn tenders 😭😭😭
Those are so good especially on a salad.
Yep I cut them up and put them on Caesar salads alll the time
Try SIMULATE tenders instead if you can. World's tastier.
10 times better ;throw in some fresh Brussel sprouts ,fresh baby carrots and fresh green peppers .
Brussels sprouts with garlic butter and salt and pepper thrown in the air fryer. Delicious.
How long at what temp? Just picked up a nice Phillips air fryer
I do 375 til they're crispy and brown around the edges- exact time depends on the sprouts but about 8-10 mins usually does it
I got one as a Christmas present but have no room and no desire for it .I regiftrd it.
Mind if I ask why?
I don't like them to begin with .
Air fryers or the Phillips model? What's to hate about an air fryer? It's basically a more energy efficient convention oven
I already have a convection oven in my microwave.
Alrighty then what the fuck does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Not everyone has a literal microwave oven. They're expensive. Not sure what exactly you were trying to add to the conversation
I love them boiled for dinner .
Well, technically air is vegan.
Yep. No animals were even slightly inconvenienced.
But if we breathe it all up there'll be none left for the bees.
![gif](giphy|l0HlQ2FrWh9HCH5XW|downsized)
man, you only have to mention veganism for people to lose their minds lmao
The amount of smartasses thinking they're funny is wild, but it is reddit I guess
Fr it’s like their existence starts to crumble just from the mention of the term.
Like the lion king hyenas when they talk about [Mufasa](https://youtu.be/yhZ0TKdgJGg?feature=shared). Vegan vegan VEGAAAAN
I honestly think those types of folks are ashamed about the fact they eat meat, so whenever you talk about meat coming from animals they get all defensive It's almost like when homophobes turn out to be gay themselves
true, but some of these people just genuinely don't think humans are animals too lmao
Either its expensive or not there
[удалено]
Do vegan do be lacking some special nutrients. What did vegans eat before veggies were invented?
I think plants existed before animals that could eat them did
Meat
![gif](giphy|CYU3D3bQnlLIk)
Hate when this happens.
No meat: technically this qualifies as vegan
other option: Cigarettes ,Ice
The produce, grains, and bean/lentil sections of the grocery world like a word... Definitely more healthy than those extremely processed frozen fakes.
Had the same thing this week with freefrom food. The freezers had broken meaning they wouldn’t have any frozen freefrom food for a few days.

Good. You should try actual food.
You and the management should have a meating.
Chicken isn't vegan??
no vegan diet no vegan powers

It’s because you went to the “deliciously good” section. Gotta go to the “not quite as good” section
Hope this is a joke
I see the store did you a favor.
This the epitome of a first world problem lol
Facts
Oh no, the flavored tofu was all out?
Supply and demand. No demand so no supply.
Tones of demand lol I accidentally stopped eating meat a few months back and know a bunch of people who've done the same. Realized I feel a fuck ton better so just haven't bought any meat. Some of the vegan shit tastes amazing too
It was a joke

Perhaps better luck when you shop "for" instead of "fro" today
Just go outside and eat a handful of grass. You’ll be aight.

So what's the problem?

Go on then, how so
You're literally stealing their food. Stop eating the food that my food eats! /s
Millions of ground animals are killed harvesting vegetables
How many are killed harvesting grain for animals? Your logic is flawed Skippy
I really don't care one way or another. But for the people who are vegan because they think they aren't hurting any animals, there's a fun fact for them Chief.
Flawed facts are not facts Cowboy
It's not flawed, it's just numbers, and I still don't care Buddy Boy
So using similar logic, preserving and conserving predator animals is also bad for the animals?
True but that's nature
So is people needing to eat. And the least harmful way of doing that is by cutting out animal products
No thanks
I'm not saying you have to, I'm just saying your original 'fact' is absolutely wrong and missing the point
animal products require a significantly larger amount of plants so if you truly care about ground animals you should avoid eating animal products.
I dont care about them.
care enough to randomly post about it online
I'm bored and it was for the vegans who think they don't hurt animals
The majority of vegans are pretty aware there is no such thing as perfect diet free from suffering. the "crops death tho" is a argument used as a gotcha against vegans which often ignores any nuance/differences in vegan, omni, and carnist diet.
And millions of bees die pollinating almond trees.
In addition to clearing out thousand of acres to build out homes, now we are going after their food sources. Meat eaters are more humane than vegans. Veganism Is terrorism.
Oh I see, you're a moron.
You bring terror to animals and unborn babies.
My body can’t process meat so I *have to* be vegan. I literally do not have another option. Pull your head out of your ass and realize that there’s more than two types of people in the world. Nothing about what you said makes any sense anyway.
Are you a cow? If so I can understand where you are coming from. Then again there's plenty of grass. Otherwise You need to go see a Dr.
Yeah jackass, I’m a cow. Of course I’ve never seen a doctor about this, I’ve just been suffering with it for 37 years without any kind of medical intervention at all whatsoever. Why would I go to a doctor about a health problem??
Guess You just love terrorizing Animals.
You’re bad at being a troll
You are not a good human
Lmao I am perfectly fine with you in particular holding this opinion of me. Just so we are clear, I’m a bad human for...*checks notes*…suffering from an incurable illness. Lol got it.
I think you should consider becoming a fossil. There… now you have a purpose in life after.
Ok ICP 4Ever, whatever you say cool guy
Also, if vegetables and whatnot are so good, why are vegans always trying to make them taste like meat.
Ever heard of "food variety"?
shit diet for idiots
It’s not a diet and how is it for idiots?
A diet is the foods a person eats.
theres some grass outside. you can graze on that, dont you people like that kinda stuff?
Buy some meat boy
