That's reason one

What's the second reason?

This is Highlander

So?

There can only be one!

Reason Two:

When they grow up they look like emo surfer kids.

They could be on an album cover

Cows are so cute, it’s a real shame what we do to them

Fucked up that the “please don’t eat the cute baby” sentiment is somehow unpopular

Minecraft cows are real!

I just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what the cutest breed of cow is, and just wound up feeling awful about the already miniscule amount of beef I still consume. Thinking it's time to call it quits entirely.

That's a great idea! There's massive health benefits as well. I went from omni to veggie about 9 years ago and I've got no regrets, some people still eat meat just eat more plant based. The "beyond meat" range is so meaty the first time I had it, I had to double check it wasn't meat.

Couldn't agree with you more! I absolutely love Beyond Meat products. My wife is a life-long vegetarian, and she's the reason I consume 90% less meat than I used to. It's equal parts idealogy and convenience. It got really annoying having to constantly cook up my own seperate portions for dinner. I kind of liked her veggie alternatives, albeit lacking in previous years, but then Beyond Meat dropped and completely changed the game. Now I prefer Beyond Beef over real beef. It's cleaner, it tastes better, doesn't have to be seasoned, and I'm not taking something's life from it because I wanted to taste it in my mouth.

Beyond Sausage has also been perfected recently, and I eat a lot of those. I find the newest formula to be indistinguishable from real Italian sausages. And as a bonus, I manage at a grocery store, so I can order in those Gardein Supreme Chick'n fillets/nuggets, or the Gardein Seven-Grain Tenders and purchase them at cost. Saves us a fortune.

Any other suggestions? Plenty of room in my freezer!

Omg beyond sausage is out? I'm gonna give that a go! I'm on a quest to find good veggie chorizo, best I've found is squeaky bean although Linda McCartneys are alright as a much cheaper alternative. I really like Birds Eye meatballs , they're not like meat but I think they taste great.

This is it. This is how the world stops eating beef.

Who the heck would downvote this?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

probably people reacting to the cognitive dissonance they face when looking at the animals they pay to have killed, if I were to guess.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Little guy looks like he's got beef with you.

I swear someone feels the need to milk every post for a pun.
