It is called imitation meat you shit sausage

Let us iterate on the point the point here. You want incorrect food labeling. I want correct food labeling. If the plant-pulp industry didn’t build itself on mimicry there would have been nothing the meat industry could have done about their naming. Fixing the world is far more complex than a basic concept extrapolated over entirety of society so how fucking anyone thought plant-pulp calling itself meat would fucking solve absolutely anything is beyond all reason. I buy shit because it calls itself plant pulp I don’t buy shit they says it is imitation meat. Meat is gross how is imitating it a good idea from the people trying to reduce its usage. If plant pulp advertised itself as complimentary to burgers and even skip the meat this can stand on it’s own there would be no problem, plant pulp would filter into everyones diets offsetting meat usage and for a lot of people an option to replace meat. That is not just hindsight plant pulp specifically positioned itself the way it did to appeal to a certain kind of person while having the opposite effect on another certain type of person. It is specifically divisive and in this world fuck that.

“”“200% a move by the meat lobby to suppress competition”“”

Buddy the decision to imitate meat was to suppress competition you are just choosing sides of one rich asshole over the other. You are not moral. You could be but you don’t seem to understand two wrongs don’t make a right.

The joke was imitation meat branding. Anyone could have anticipated the problems calling plant pulp meat instead of it’s own name like no one has a problem with Tofu and it is often used to replace meat. It was arrogance that ignored the foreseen consequences of imitation branding one of the globes biggest industries.

The justification seems to be ‘the meat industry will be right’ seemingly acknowledging wrongdoing.

Are you sure you are using that right? Did someone say this to you recently and now you are using it liberally while not fully grasping what justifies such a thing? Because sharing an opinion on lemmy is exact same privilege you have. Acting like you are entitled to imitate an entire industry instead of standing on your own feet…? I can see why someone said this to you recently.

I just stated a fact. I didn’t share my opinion on veganism. You just established that you aren’t against the torturing of sentient beings and that you think life dying in order to support other life is a good thing. That you do infact see some life as inferior to other life. I just wanted to point out your extremely poor choice of words lol

Isn’t that a good thing? Pretty sure it is well understood ‘plant based meat’ is absolutely terrible branding, Like extremely bad like what in the genuine actual fuck did you think was going to happen. You should recognize imitation branding as harmful to the cause. Oh is an entire ass industry protecting itself from imitation? You really need to question what are you doing when authentic labeling on food is something you are against.

Plants are sentient they feel pain.
