So, yes, that was exactly what I meant when I said they’re “attacking one of their own”. I don’t believe they’d go after Chick Fil A for this so I’m assuming there’s more to it. ---

Why not? They did the same to Cracker Barrel. Offering a non-meat version is (in the minds of the base) the same as forcing people to eat it. No, it doesn’t make any damned sense, but that’s nothing new for this crowd. Wait a few weeks, and they’ll just turn to the next item in the RW outrage machine ---

Never forget that The Obama administration, spearheaded by Michelle, set nutritional standards for school lunches and the Trump administration rolled it back on Michelle’s birthday. Of course they totally didn’t mean to do it on her birthday. Just like all the other things they totally didn’t mean to do on a specific day, like a Trump Rally scheduled for Juneteenth, totally by accident. ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Its like healthy eating is supported by democrats, so its bad.🤨 The position seems to be “I want to stuff artery-clogging shit into my carcass, chased by gallons of diabetes-inducing sugar-water and a big slice of cake, because it tastes so good and it makes me feel like **a man** in front of everyone. And I want my favorite restaurant to give me moral support in my pursuit of failing health and a miserable death by not encouraging prissy vegan-types to sit near me casting withering glares in an effort to compromise my manliness. When they put ‘healthy’ food on the menu, my cheering section gets crowded out by those wrong types.” ---

When they put ‘healthy’ food on the menu, my cheering section gets crowded out by those wrong types.” But here’s how you know they’re full of shit and this outrage is completely manufactured and entirely meaningless. So long as they can still go to their favorite restaurant, they can still do that. No one is forcing them to eat the fake meat, they can ignore it and get the regular meat. They would absolutely have a valid point if restaurants switched to beyond meat and didn’t disclose it to the public. They’d be right to be mad (but not to take any legal action) if the restaurant in question (transparently) removed regular meat from their menu and replaced it with Beyond Meat. But I don’t believe that’s the case. So far as I know, they can still order whatever they always ordered. It goes back to exactly what I said upthread: > [@Joey\_P](#): > > I don’t get why he’s mad about it, no one is forcing him to get it and they didn’t replace any normal menu items with it so he can still get whatever he normally gets.
