A TEAM of jokers at a popular barbeque restaurant have launched a helpline to directly coincide and conflict with National Vegetarian Week.
Veggie week was launched yesterday in the vain attempt of encouraging carnivores to put down the steak and pick up the salad.
The Vegetarian Society says non-meaty food is "fun, tasty and seriously varied" and are trying to boost the popularity of the often demeaned tofu-eater.
Bosses at Red's True Barbecue restaurant – based in Leeds and Manchester – decided to launch a rival "meat eating" campaign to stop people "going veggie".
The firm has even set up a vegetarian helpline for people to call if they are "worried" about their vegetarian friends – offering free burgers, pulled pork, sausages and ribs.
When calling the "helpline" an American sounding cowboy figure says "don't give up on vegetarians, they're people too".
While a bit of a joke, the billboards are certainly doing the trick as everyone at the Daily Star offices is now lusting over the thought of delicately pulled pork and tender beef ribs.
The only salad we'll be eating will be slapped between buns on a juicy, juicy burger.
Cows and pigs are ugly we do them a favor by eating them. Now shut up and pass the bacon cheeseburgers please! ;-)
“...put down the steak and pick up the salad”
SALAD...that’s what food eats!
What a great idea. Hat’s off!
I actually like a Caesar salad with my steak. And yes, even lettuce and tomato on my bacon burgers.
(I suppose around FR that makes me some sort of countercultural left-wing freak...I like to just think I’m on the sensitive side).
So when is National Bacon Week?
Many vegetarians have gone on this way for years until one day the smell of bacon drive them crazy and they have to eat some. Bacon has been the downfall of many veggy types
Although I agree that Americans eat too much meat, I would also argue that vegans are nuts. They’re even dangerous when they try to raise their kids as vegans. Kids need meat to grow up healthy.
If the eyes are on the sides of the head they are prey! If the eyes are in front for bipolar vision, they are Predators.
Where are your eyes located?
If Darwinism is correct, all vegetarian's eyes will eventually migrate to the sides of the heads, IF they live long enough to pass on offspring.
The surgeon comes out to give them an update.
"Carrots, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that your friend will survive."
"The bad news is, I'm afraid he will be a vegetable the rest of his life."
I love vegetables. I’ve even had tofu prepared by a Chinese trend such that it was delicious. They are particularly tasty with beef, lamb, poultry and fish.
You realize that soy has lots of estrogen, right?
Meat has a lot more, especially considering how many hormones they put in them today.
We are omnivores. Scientifically speaking, salad with your steak is OK.
IIRC, according to a “Good Eats” blurb, Baco-Bits was the first soy-based “fake” meat product.
Some of my greens, though, are preprocessed by farm animals.
