Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

[Dedalus]

annoying when omnis are like
"Vegetarians shouldn't eat veggie meat because it tastes like meat"
"I agree with you, that's why I eat real meat!"
Like what lol.

This would be my response to someone who inquired why I ate 'veg meat' :

I didn't become a vegan because I no longer liked the taste of meat - it was the means / method of getting it to my plate. It's unecessary to eat meat since there are plenty of cruelty-free, animal by-product free alternatives that can replicate what you've been eating all your life.

My consistent (and I hope effective) approach to omni's has always been projecting that
A) The vegan lifestyle is not as difficult as you think
B) You will not go hungry
C) Whatever murderous meat dish you currently enjoy - there is a veg option to replace it. And the options get better and more varied all the time.
D) The small sacrifices / inconveniences that come with the lifestyle are worth not being a part of the unecessary suffering and killing of animals.

I choose what I eat for the flavor, smell, appearance, and texture (in that order). If I ate for nutrition only and didn't like the taste of food I kind of doubt that I would have made my living as a cook for so many years.
I was raised a meat eater. I still like the flavor of meat, the only reason I don't buy fake meats at the store is because so far I didn't like the flavors of any of those I've tried. Also I've come up with my own alternatives.

I love the taste of vegan meat but I think animal meat looks gross, especially if it's bloody and you have the possibility of getting THIS when you go to KFC.. No thanks haha

Don't have to worry about eating a kidney, brain or whatever the hell that is when you eat vegan meat

 

[Blobbenstein]

maybe the meat got infested with maggots, and it all got fried up....looks like it might be maggots...

 

[Danielle]

That's possible as well, but I think it looks like an organ.

 

[Blobbenstein]

perhaps it's a tumour...I have read that that happens.

 

[Danielle]

Kentucky Fried Tumors, yum.
Yay for May Wah, no chance of eating a tumor when you eat their drumsticks lol
Too bad it's expensive, though.

 

[Amy SF]

That is seriously gross. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get any sleep with that image in my brain, but I got lucky.

I do that too. I missed corned-beef sandwiches; so (having worked in a deli) I simply combined the same ingredients used to pickle / cure the beef and marinated homemade seitan sliced up to resemble CB. It is amazing. If people only realized that meat is really just a tasteless, gristle and vein - filled vehicle for the spices and flavor that one adds to it - I think a lot of them would convert just to get away from whatever that gross fried up stuff is above. Seriously. That. Is. Disgusting.

My response to the 'fake' meat question, purely from a flavour PoV ..

Vegans like the pleasant tastes/textures/conveniences of meat as much as omnis do.

The pleasant tastes within 'real' meat are mixed up with loads of unpleasant sh*t though

A good vegan 'meat' is all the pleasant stuff with all the unpleasant sh*t completely left out.


Alternative response ...

I was just thinking about taking a bite out of this 'fake' ham sandwich.

Now I'm thinking about taking a bite out of you ...

I don't see the problem here ..

The maggots are definitely gonna be fresher than the chicken and both have been equaly well cooked.

The maggots, unlike the chicken, are definitely 'free range' too.

I think the trick here would be to shake the dead maggots out of the dead chicken and pretend they're a bed of special high protein 'rice'.

 

[Danielle]

the way I see it is if you can make meat without killing animals, why kill animals? why not just make meat out of plants?

1. Old habits are hard to break.
2. There's a purity thing, a tradition thing. People have this idea that "fake" is bad and "real" is good. Plants = fake, animals = real.
3. The taste. A lot of omnis simply prefer the taste of animals.
4. Omnis think veg*ans are nuts.

 

[Danielle]

But plants is real food!
That's why I prefer to call it vegan meat instead of fake. It's not like I'm eating plastic lol

 

[Amy SF]

I was trying to get into the minds of omnis. It's a pretty scary place to be, LOL.
