hey vegetarians, If you don't eat meat, why is your freezer stocked with meat-like substitutes?!


Question: Hey vegetarians, If you don't eat meat, why is your freezer stocked with meat-like substitutes?
Do you just not know how to cook?

I get that you want protein intake, but a tofurkey is just like saying "I am celibate, but masturbation's okay."

?YES?



well considering that meat substitutes aren't actually meat or derived from an animal in any way, therefore are cruelty free and fine for vegetarians to eat, you don't really have an argument.
your "i am celibate, but masturbation's okay" doesn't really apply, in fact it would apply better to "vegetarians" who don't eat land animals but do eat fish, as opposed to those who eat meat substitutes.

your point is invalid.



My freezer has three veggie burritos, frozen vegetables, and some coconut milk ice cream in it. My "meat substitutes" include tofu, tempeh, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains. My younger sister and I made a tofu loaf last year and a seitan loaf this year, but neither were intended to look or taste like turkey.



Animal Flesh dosent have the sole rights to the shapes or seasonings of my food.

Hotdog shapes go on hotdog buns. Hamburger shapes on Hamburger buns etc.

What, should we make food that is shaped like a Triangle or something so that you will feel better?


Neither meat nor veg food such as beans look like the end products you are talking about. They are all altered.


Why do you try to confront vegetarianism when all it does is makes you look unintelligent?

Vegan



Because one is vegetables and one is flesh?
I don't, actually, have any substitutes. I don't eat processed food, either way.

Vegan.



How do you know what is in my freezer?
Oh right, you don't. You're just making a massive generalisation.
And tofurkey isn't sold over here. Another massive generalisation.

Well done!



hey meat eater, if you eat meat than why do you cook it instead of eating it raw ?
or better yet why dont you have a cabinet full of death devices to kill the cow on your plate ? Do you just not know how to kill an animal ?
pathetic.



Lmao.. what?
A lot of new vegetarians use those meat substitutes for protein intake as they learn about their diet and find other foods to eat.
I ate meat substitutes for a while but I don't anymore. At least it's not real meat.



Oh really? You been snooping around my kitchen? Doubt it.
Your question is silly, as is your example.
And for the record, I've never even seen 'Tofurkey' before.

Vegan.



They still may like the taste but not the fact that it's a dead animal,
so they still get the taste but it's not actual meat.



Not mine mate


"I am celibate, but masturbation's okay." Correct, so what's your point?



No, it is not the same thing. Your logic is skewed.

Then again, I think masturbation is a great substitute for sexual intercourse:-D



Hello

NO PAIN/CRUELTY - Common sense really isn't it



It's...not?



Good point
They just don't like killing animals
