Have you had duck bacon? Or beef bacon? DELICIOUS!
As if being a sexist animal abuser wasnât bad enough, heâs apparently also a 1930s gangster.
No. NO! It isnât bacon. You canât do this.
YOU CANâT!!!
Turkey isnât bacon either. STOP THE LIES!!! You canât call Velveeta Cheese. Bacon is bacon! Everything else is NOT BACON. You can get tofu to taste like anything - IT IS STILL FUCKING TOFU.
I donât eat a Jolly Rancher and say itâs an apple.
Everyone stop calling non-bacon stuff bacon. Please. I no more. It stops now!
But its duck and beef belly, salted, and smoked. Its still delicious delicious fatty meat!
No where near a jolly rancher or tofu! I am offended on the duckâs behalf!
I recently had a sandwich from a vegan food vendor that was billed as a âBacon Cheeseburger.â
It was actually quite tasty once you got past the bitter, bitter lies.
Itâs been my experience that pig farmers as a whole are a very paranoid lot. And to be fair, any farmer would likely be freaked out to see someone giving something to an animal on the way to the slaughter house (aka getting paid.) Ten years is too much though.
I didnât say it couldnât be tasty. But itâs not bacon!
Disrupting food chain, perhaps (like not really but in a legal sense? ok). On purpose? I think the suffering of the animals in the caged trailer was more her concern than the chaos at the slaughter house upon hearing the pigs were given something to drink (i doubt feeding water to an animal in her mind was in any way tampering). If she was being sentenced based on intent then accusing her of attempting to ruin the shipment on purpose would be disingenuous. If a criminal sentence were to be passed I would demand proof that the pigs were in fact contaminated and not simply the possibility of contamination being sufficient for guilt (weâre looking at a 10 year sentence over essentially nothing there better be some kind of damage or what are we talking about).
Well said, well played too!
But I like tofu⊠and bacon⊠great together even!
Being from deep, deep white monoculture country (Maine), it pretty much blew my mind the first time I had a Chinese dish that contained both beef and tofu. All in a moment I understood that bean curd was not âmock meatâ but itself an ingredient, albeit a quite culinarily flexible one. A lot of foods suffer the indignity of becoming the understudy or fad diet âversionâ of another food, rather than playing to their own unique strengths.
On the duck and cow bacon, though I have to side with @Missy_Pants, though. The trademark has been genericized. Pork bacon purists are gonna need to start pulling a âband-aid brandâ campaign, and calling it âpork baconâ consistently to regain their ground.
Calling @popobawa4u, calling @popobawa4u, where are you? We need you here in this thread, to give @Missy_Pants a hard time about something semantical. Where the heck are you???
Youâre dead to me.

But the driver/owner had no way of knowing that. The driver was presented with someone feeding a substance to the pigs - could have been water, could have been something to render the meat unfit for consumption. Could have been something to harm the pigs, for that matter.
Unfortunately, animal rights terrorists have ruined it for everyone, counter-productively rendering it unacceptable to interact with livestock at all.
There are wacky animal rights activists out there for sure but very few Iâd call âterrorists.â For example, the Animal Liberation Front is one of the most âextremistâ groups out there but even they havenât actually killed anyone.
[Edit to add: though I concede theyâve committed acts of violence that could have killed someone, so they may indeed fit the bill after all.]
All discussions are âsemanticâ! If people arenât interested in meaning, I donât understand why they would say anything. The term seems to usually be disparaged by resolutely informal people who would prefer that we were all telepaths.
âŠand now - back to our regularly scheduled programming!
Câmon man do your job. This was directed at me. We need you to fling words and stuff at @Missy_Pants instead!!! LOL
What happend to gifs dangit? They broken?
