Meati

#ethicallymade

BAM! After my first bite of Meati classic cutlets, I found myself high-fiving the air, doing a Mary Tyler-Moore hat toss & nearly in tears (joyful, happy tears of course).

Why so giddy over chicken made from mushroom root? more

How is it that the simplest of ingredients can come together & become something so sublime? The chefs at Ruk Sushi & Thai know the secret to doing just that & they turn out the best sweet potato rolls I’ve ever had.

Each one of those little huts holds a scared, heartbroken calf that desperately wants to feel the love and comfort of their mother and drink her milk. They will NEVER have it!! Only to then be violently handled and mercilessly murdered for ‘veal’ and ‘leather’ after 16 weeks of this hell!!! Do you realize just how immoral, wrong and f#&d up this actually is?!?!!!! This is precisely why vegetarian doesn’t cut it!!! If you want it to stop, you must go VEGAN!!!💔😓😡🤬💔😓😡🤬💔😓😡🤬💔😓

tamiapple Totally agree, We Animals is a great org. (Understatement.)

I remembered reading awhile back that many members on abillion are not vegan, so abillion seemed like an appropriate place to post these images, as I imagine many of the non-vegan members & visitors to the app are likely compassionate & highly interested in finding & trying vegan & plant-based things. These images say everything that needs to be said about the urgency of making a decision to replace dairy products with plant-based alternatives. These images should be on billboards everywhere. #ditchdairy 2 likesReply
danielgl Great point about the non-vegan membership, hopefully posts like this will shed light and contribute to their decision to make the change. Hopefully the more people know about the cruel and inhumane realities, the compassion they feel will help them towards choose kindness. And an amen to billboards worldwide!! 1 likeReply
