      I looked through the Giant Instruction Manual of Lemmy for this and I couldn’t see any recommendations about titles but I’ll change it for you if I can.

        One of the biggest German meat production companies started introducing vegetarian and vegan products 10 years ago - last year they made more profit from then than from their meat branch and are remodelling meat-processing factories for replacements - it’s just like everywhere - if you don’t lead or follow the change you’ll have to try to stop change itself

        The shitty thing is that this culture war against replacements is also majorly fucking up our chances to combat climate change as a change away from the meat-heavy diet most people have on a population level would be one of the most effective changes we could make as a society to give us a better chance…

    That’s a bit rich coming from the people who call a potato a ground apple.

    Is anybody out there buying vegan stuff thinking it’s meat? Read the label. You should be doing that anyway.

    Rare French W.

    If you wish buy plant based “meat” you should be free to do that, but calling “steak” what clearly isn’t is just trying to fool the customer into buying something they’re probably not interested in purchasing.

      Have you ever been confused by coconut milk? Do you think that hamburgers come from Hamburg? Are sweetbreads made from wheat and sugar?
