    Taking things too seriously, don’t most plants benefit from their fruit being eaten as part of their lifecycle?

      Taking things too seriously, fruits and vegetables are generally much smaller, and can not speak and hold a baseball bat.

          In fact, only the strongest and most ruthless fruits and vegetables are selected to be enforcers.

      fun fact, trains in the UK used to dump the sewage from the onboard toilets right on the tracks.

      It wasn’t uncommon to see tomato plants growing on/around the tracks.

      This is because of the fresh tomatos used in sandwiches filtered through british bumholes

    As a vegetarian I find this comic offensive. The last panel should be that dude viscously ripping apart the vegetable people with his teeth.

    Just because I don’t eat animals doesn’t mean I won’t body slam you if you’re between me and a potato.

    Except that you’re eating way more plants if you eat animals than if you just eat plants, as animals eat lots of plants.

      Depends on the animal. Home raised chicken, for instance, can almost live on human lefts.

      Insects also eat things that humans really do not consume, for instance.

      So what you’re saying is that for each animal you eat, you save a lot of plants?

        No, for each animal you eat you’re eating lots of plants in a really inefficient - and needlessly cruel - way

          I cannot eat grass, ruminant animals can. How is it inefficient for me to eat the animal rather than the grass?

            To add to idiomaddict’s great points, the animals don’t eat exclusively grass. In Australia (assuming based on your instance): “the latest estimate (2017-18) of annual feed use in Australia is 13.58 million tonnes” (SFMCA).

            This includes “cereal grains, legume grains, vegetable protein meals, animal protein meals, cereal milling co-products, minerals and vitamins” as per that same source.

            I often see people use the deforestation of the Amazon for soy crops as a sort of gotcha for vegans, even though most soybeans are grown for use as animal feed (in the Amazon, mainly cattle). Incidentally, cattle farms are also responsible for much more deforestation in the Amazon than soybeans, but I digress.

            I’ll also note that grass-fed beef has often been shown to be as bad (or sometimes worse) for the environment than feedlot beef. It also can’t scale to meet current meat consumption.

            Because we use the land that could be used to grow enough food to feed many people to grow food for cows, which then feed fewer people. By buying into this system, you’re propagating inefficiency.

              Right, we bulldoze forests to make fertile land available. I agree that’s bad, I don’t want celery from that land either

                We’d need less land for crops generally if we were allotting it to human food instead of livestock feed.

    Are any of those ingredients actually likely to be used in a veggie burger? I feel like I usually just see bean burgers, but I don’t know much about veggie burger options

      Tomatoes would be odd, I’ve never seen that. Onions, or at a minimum garlic power, should be in any burger recipe, IMO. Carrots would totally work for a veggie burger, I found this recipe that looks pretty tasty and uses both carrots and onions.

      But disregarding all that; I very rarely eat burgers that don’t have both onions and tomatoes as toppings :P
