DNA from humans, rats and other animals found in some veggie burgers
Fox news ^ | May 11, 2016

A new report from Clear Labs — the same food analysts who found that at least 10 percent of vegetarian hot dogs contain meat — suggests some troubling things about the making of veggie burgers.

In a sample of 89 veggie burgers collected from a range of brands, Clear Labs identified several problems with “substitution, hygienic issues, and pathogenic contamination.”

The plants are eating people and then not wiping the crumbs from their filthy mouths!

LOL! that’s priceless. What do vegetarians have to say about carnivorous plants? Never mind, I really don’t care what’vegans’ have to say, but it is a point of curiosity lol.

If they have human and rat DNA, then they aren't veggie burgers. Among their other problems.

Here's a solution...don't eat meat burgers or veggie burgers. Choose unground meats and vegetables instead.

I suppose I should come clean to the vegan stores. I avoided pesticides by cross-breeding a rat and a kumquat. It’s the green alternative. And they’re delicious, when you can catch them.

Bing and Google news did everything in their power to imply that all burgers (including beef) had this problem, and not just vegetarian fare as was the actual reality. Only FOX news called it correctly in their headline. The dozens of others, eh, not so much.

Key takeaway: Never, ever forget how much the news is being MANIPULATED.

Great shirt.

I knew a vegetarian who ate pork ‘n beans. For the longest, no one bothered to tell her to read the obvious label.

Never was much of a fan of “veggie burgers” anyway. Seems like a way to “fit in” with the crowd while remaining “pure” and “true” to the whole Goddess Gaia worship.

Frozen and then cooked mixed vegetables seem to be a lot more honest, and raise no eyebrows.

Pickles and ketchup could be considered vegetables....

Human DNA?
Well now we know what happens when the mob “disappears” someone these days.

Remember silly assed vegans, you are what you eat.

I am composed of beef, beef with bacon, pork, pork sausage, bacon, occasionally chicken and turkey, bacon, lettuce tomato and onion, bacon, potatoes fried in fat and bacon.
The occasional tossed salad with ham and bacon.

Silly vegans are comprised of tofu, wilted (and overpriced) organic vegetables and “hot dogs” and veggie burgers made with mystery ingredients.

Human DNA in veggie burgers?

Hope it doesn’t get in there the same way human DNA gets into Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
