Cool Strawman Bro!
McDonalds is allowed to call their extremely processed foods "burgers". The contents of their "burger" and the contents of 80/20 beef-only patties marketed as "burger patties" at the store are not the same.
The point is, "burger" doesn't mean what you're trying to imply it means. It's a loose term for a type of sandwich at best. Saying patties intended to be used for "burgers" can't be marketed as "burgers" is equivalent to saying that "sandwiches" made with <ingredient of your choice> aren't really "sandwiches" because they don't contain the contents that the Earle of Sandwich included in his concoction hundreds of years ago.
- WhatIsDukkha 7y agoBecause you didn't seem to get it - I think its a travesty that McDonald and Taco Bell are allowed to do what they do to hamburger and are still allowed to sell it at all. Full Stop. The "Veggie" in "Veggie Burger" is a highly processed industrial food paste that has nothing to do with chopping up some chickpeas and garlic and eating it on flatbread. Look at the ingredient lists and read up on all the steps the make to fool you into thinking it has the mouth feel, tast etc of meat. None of those steps are about making the base ingredients healthier for you. They leech nutrients/phytonutrients/fiber at every manipulation. Grinding peanuts and making peanut butter? Hey that's ok with me. This is making terrible food paste and using virtue signalling to market it.
