Overly processed food

I will eat meat anytime and every time my body will allow me to have it. These veggie burgers are fantastic for those of us that need to give our pancreas a break.

Overpriced, over processed junk food. Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s healthful

Hellz to the yeah. Good stuff!

If it’s NOT real meat 🥩, it’s just protein, not beef, chicken 🐓, or Fish 🐟.

If reincarnation exists, is it limited to humans? If Hitler came back as a cow, would that make eating black angus burgers ethical and politically correct with peta ? 🤓🤔🤣

What is the dictionary definition of impossible?
