Anyone going Vegan this Thanksgiving?

Leave the turkeys alone! Don't they have feelings? That is what my vegan coworker told me the other day.

Here is a tofu turkey. Doesn't it look yummy? Looks like the real thing.

I really don't like Turkey so I'm going to have a rib eye steak and potato wedges.

I'm having it because its Friday though as we dont do Thanksgiving.

Did the time change set us that far back from the UK? It's still Thursday here. Either way that dinner sounds good.

Regular old turkey here. Well, hopefully not too old.

😀 Yeah work gave me last night off for no particular reason and its completely thrown my internal calendar. I totally thought that it was Friday!
 
I am not American but I am cooking a roast beef in my instant pot in honour of the many US members on ATOT for Thanksgiving!

😀

It's interesting that vegans would desire to have their food presented in a manner such that it looks like meat.

It is not for them, it is bait. They are trying to lure us into trying the lifestyle. 😛
 
I keep a turkey penned up in my garage and every hour I go out and look at him while sharpening my knife just to make him sweat it out. At like 2 minutes to midnight I tell him that he survived, open the cage and allow him to go free. Then, just before he makes it out the door, I shoot him and order a pizza because turkey sucks.

Hey, you celebrate Thanksgiving your way and I'll celebrate my way.
 
Vegans are hilarious.

Civility of killing the animals aside - because there are definitely cases where some slaughter houses likely aren't doing so ethically (to which I say prosecute them and don't buy their products). That aside, reasons for going vegan are laughable. I mean if you're concerned with animals - far more overall animals (insects, rodents, etc.) die at the hands of mass agriculture farming than slaughter houses ever will. But... I'm sure... you know... icky bug lives, mouses, and lizards don't matter right?

It is undoubtedly not more healthy. You would have to have an INCREDIBLY strict diet with tons of supplementation. Add on top of that - it simply isn't healthy. Ask Cam Newton how his diet treated him with his season-ending injury lol

There is also zero reliable evidence to say that vegan is more environmentally friendly from a carbon perspective.

Theres different levels of vegan. Some of the most hateful are the "look im eating the same thing as you except Im morally superior because this isnt a dead animal" vegans.

Many people go vegan for reasons other than those outlined in your post. It is foolish to think those are the only reasons people go vegan.

Yeah. You're just getting worked up about someone else's food choices there.
It just sounds like the classic "How dare you not like what I like!"
 
Going out to dinner, so it'll be meat. Once a year is good for my turkey fix. Been digging vegan turkey products lately. I like them better than real turkey. If I were eating at home, that's what I'd have.

Lol which one is a stereotype - that vegans feel the need to let everyone know they are a vegan... Or that people who eat meat feel the need to tell you they are non vegan?

I'll give you a hint.

See your now doing the "I'll speak for people I dont know, make their arguments up, assume that they all agree with each other and then argue against that made up position" thing again, whereas I'm talking to you and addressing what youve said.
 
I don't normally buy processed faux meat but this year I had some sort of gluten based chicken strips and they tasted just like chicken nuggets. On the side I had boiled potatoes, asparagus a simple salad and roasted butternut squash. It was my first time cooking and eating butternut squash and it was freaking delicious.
 
I have to admit that actually does look good, I don't know if I'd want to REPLACE turkey with that, but I would have it WITH turkey. 😀
