Meatless burgers are Satan's work

[Vetalia]

If I want to eat vegetables, I'll eat vegetables and if I want to eat meat I'll eat meat...not some kind of insanely processed soy patty. Hell, I would give up meat entirely before I would eat one of those chemical nightmares.

Here's an in-depth view of the overall process, it's not really a chemical nightmare at all.

The ingredients in Impossible Burgers are simple and free of any toxic additives, flavorings or artificial ingredients.

I've eaten artificial beef before. It's actually pretty hard to tell the difference.

Time to plant more trees

Boom - deforestation dealt with, and alternative meat sources developed. It's a win-win (or not, depending on how big the bugs become)

[Jack Thomas Lang]

I'm not a big fan of beef (unless it's mince in spaghetti or pies), so artificial burgers sounds like a great plus.

Meatless burgers are nasty as I had one once before. Give a bacon cheeseburger any day of the week. People seem to forget that humans are omnivores.

[Tekania]

I like to consume meat myself. That being said I find the science behind the meatless burgers such as the Impossible Burger fascinating. I like meat, I like its taste, I like its texture..... and if someone came along and could give me meat of the same quality and caliber that did not involve killing the animal to get it, I have no issue with that.

Actual chocolate is only consumed by Aztec Nobility, if we’re gonna be pedantic.

And where is the Aztec nobility now, hmmm? Exactly. If human history has taught us anything - and sometimes I despair that it has taught us anything - it is that things once reserved to the "nobility" are sooner or later shared by the non-nobility.

Like guillotines

I think people should be able to demand Christian friendly burgers. The vegan religion has their stuff, why can't Christians be special too?

Muslims, certain Buddhists and Hindus have their own special meats they won't eat so it's really only fair that Christian's get their own so special it's not even meat, it's non-meat meat.. that's how special they are.

Christianity reasserts its full superiority with this one blow.

We already have one. Seafood. And we eat a lot of it during Lent.

Are they expensive? They don't seem to be available anytime soon in my place.

[Merni]

I'm a vegetarian in a country where there are a lot of vegetarians (especially among the rich, who are astronomically more likely to eat burgers) and we've had vegetarian burgers made out of potatoes, cottage cheese, and probably hundreds of other things for decades. I don't see what the fuss is.

That said, I feel that these meat substitutes are dumb — if people don't want to eat meat for ethical reasons or whatever, why should they want the taste of meat, but actually made of bean curd and other weird chemicals?

[Thermodolia]

Again it’s not going to go anywhere. No matter the marketing

"Enjoy the new McRib, now with 5% less fatty protein.*

Believe it or not that would probably kill McDonald’s sales

[Third Asopia]

God is an environmentalist. He takes this very seriously. He created this planet, he created the universe and he’s watching these Luciferians destroy this planet, destroy the animal kingdom, destroy the plant kingdom, change human DNA. Why? They want to change human DNA so that you can’t be born again. That’s where they’re going with this, to change the DNA of humans so it will be impossible for a human to be born again. They want to create a race of soulless creatures on this planet.

Well, God DID allow us to eat meat, but in the Old Testament he forbid the Israelites from eating certain food.

I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

"The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’ This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

Acts 11:6-11

Well from now here verses, we may conclude that now God has made clean all animals. I'm not a genius in the Bible, but anyways.

Because we might like the taste of meat, but disagree with how it is currently made (in terms of energy efficiency, land use, animal abuse, etc.)

Imagine associating some fucking soy hockey puck to the quintessential image of evil and to culture wars.

Most chocolate is just sugar stretched with fat. Pure carbs. Disgusting. Actual chocolate has a slight bitter taste.

Life has a slight bitter taste. Chocolate makes that bearable.

Is there a site rule about people who dis chocolate?

Screw soy patties. If you ever feel adventurous, try the beet patties.

[Skarten]

I've already tried out fake meat before. I didn't like it.

And since you've had some kind of fake meat before, you know what it all tastes like, even the products you haven't tasted, even the ones that don't exist yet.

So i'm going to just try every single brand of fake meat?

[TURTLESHROOM II]

We've been altering DNA for longer than we've known what DNA is.

Yes. Through the natural evolutionary and breeding processes that God intended and used Himself. EVERY crop and EVERY livestock are genetically modified organisms. Breeding desirable traits in plants and animals is entirely different from actually restructuring DNA itself.

Gene therapy- that is, repairing defective genes to normal human function -is the ONLY acceptable means to edit DNA. To create DNA or, God forbid, create life is evil.

Meatless burgers are just a very "primitive" example of this. While not directly tied to genetic engineering, the idea of spawning... whatever it is that's in meatless burgers is the danger.
Remember, it's not like we're taking livestock muscle tissue and using it to synthesize real meat in a sleazy way.

This thing is entirely artificial. I don't even know if it uses natural ingrediants at all...

No, of course not. Just stop saying it's all bad before you've had it.

That's stupid. I tasted it, it's bad. By going "uhhh, but you didn't try EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!" you're just being pedantic.

Those are sorcery.

Shouldn't you vehemently deny the existence of DNA, given how the Bible never speaks of it and talks of clay as the source material for man's creation instead?

I saw the title of this, and, I decided, that this is something I want to dive into.

I haven't read anything, what's the fuss?
