This happen to anyone?

I don't have anything against artificial meats, but I would be pissed.

I feel like this wasn't the first straw, so to speak.
Why?
- Because i don't like being deceived.
- It's not what I am expecting. If it was agreed upon, then fine. You don't just spring a tofu turkey on unsuspecting guests.
Turkey is trash food. You can't make it worse by removing the turkey.

So you don't get to eat a dead animal, and your reaction is to want to beat the person up for that?

People's mind is really messed up, and the comments confirm it.

You should always be upfront with the food you're serving. What if the guy had an allergy to something in the turkey substitute?
- Yeah, it's not good nor smart.
  When does it justify physical violence?
- Nothing in this headline says they werent up front about it.
it's deceptive, even if the intent is to do good
- If someone swaps my toast bread for buckwheat toast bread, I'm not going to start beating them up.
  This is a minor deception, it can warrant at most being a bit mad at the person,and the fact that everyone seems to be okay with physical violence in such a case is pretty worrying.
  And let's face it, the fact that it was about meat and a vegan is a big root of this, because people are so much into denial that they actually fantasize about beating up the people that remind them that it is immoral to eat meat.
  And quick disclaimer, I am not vegan nor vegetarian, but I can simply admit that eating meat is immoral. For some reason people would rather defend more violence than to admit that.

Of all things to get violent about....

This free food is slightly different than what I expected!!!

"slightly"
- I would usually just ignore this, but this is about pointless violence. Yeah vegan turkey is wildly different. But do you think that warrants violence?
  If I got invited to a BBQ and they was smoking tofu, I'd still be excited to eat some food someone put effort into.
  So I'll ask, was the word "slightly" the big takeaway you got from my comment?
Also, turkey is garbage meat.
- Turkey is delicious. Big skill issue
- No argument here, but it's a nice departure from chicken the other 364 days.
The question is whether expectations were just not met or whether lying was involved.
Serving food under false pretense is not OK. People should be informed what they are consuming.
I wouldn't want to be served meat in something otherwise vegan just because they think it doesn't count.
This amusing, considering the vegan would be losing their shit worse if the switch went the other way...
- It's not quite the same though, is it? Vegans don't eat meat, but meat eaters do eat plants (barring some very fringe diets).
- Vegans are known for how much they want to commit acts of violence, yes. 🙄🙄🙄
  What an idiot

Turkey is overrated, let's make buffalo wings the new traditional meat

Seconded. Anyone ever seen a buffalo fly? They clearly aren’t using them anyway.
Hah I literally proposed this at Thanksgiving this year.
Wait, are we related?
Has anyone ever made buffalo wings with turkey wings instead of chicken? Hmmm...

Quorn Turkey Roast is pretty good.

All I'm saying is that the inverse would be talked about for years

No it wouldn't be. I grew up vegetarian and I regularly had people sneaking meat into my food, giggling after I ate it and mocking me for "no longer being vegetarian". Nobody ever cared.
- Yeah that's normal unfortunately. Decking them for it on the other hand…
- That's how they consent to you putting things in their food that they wouldn't normally want.

If that is not an AI image I will eat my hat

Looks like the fight was semi successful given that shiner on the left eye

The picture is probably AI or the post itself is AI. I couldn't find the actual post from Fox News. All I could see is social media posts posting this screenshot.

(This is the most meta thing I've done.)

Why can't it just be fake (like Photoshop)? Shit man does everything gotta be AI these days? 🥲
- Photoshop has better lighting and contrast than AI. They're off on the picture.

lol what an insecure little bitchass

ITT: People with skill issues when it comes to turkey.

People would be saying the same thing about brisket if that was the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Turkey is a surprisingly unforgiving meat being made by a lot of home cooks that don't that don't actually know how to properly prep and cook it.

see, this is an example of how it should be, instead of people who conflate "understanding motives" with "approving of motives"

I couldn't say the number of times I've been downvoted and shat upon for answering the question "what were they thinking / why did they do this?" with a plausible reason for somebody else's actions. but it's high enough to have pissed me off enough to mostly just hate people until they show me otherwise (among many other reasons) nowadays

The question "what were they thinking [...]" comes with the secret addendum of "[...] to justify this".
By answering the question posed you are justifying them at least in the mind of most people. Most people can see what they were thinking just fine. They are asking why that would justify their behaviour.
- yeah, it doesn't, though. otherwise it would be asked. people making that assumption are dumb.

If it was chicken i could understand but i bet the vegan alternatives tasted better than the turkey

Turkey is F tier poultry though so I get wanting to have nothing to do with it.

I don't do thanksgiving but I understand it. Seitan is just delicious.
