    For what it’s worth, vegan chicken nuggets are at a point now where they’re basically just better than real nuggets. They’ve got the taste down pretty close to real chicken, and the texture is better since there’s no gristle or nasty shit. Strong recommendation for MorningStar Farms as a baseline.

    doesn’t this set a precedent to destroy basically all false advertising rules ever? your nut-free products can now contain nuts, because fuck you. your meatless burgers can be made of cats. your arsenic-free soda can give you arsenic poisoning, fuck it. i don’t know anything about the usamerikkan legal system, but how can this possibly hold up?

    Couldn’t disagree more with the the ruling, the dissenting opinion is right.

    You don’t expect a bone fragment in breast meat, which is what boneless wings typically are. Even the argument that “boneless” is a style of preparation, it doesn’t make sense to expect bones.

    The court probably doesn’t want to imply it should be made from a specific (more expensive) cut of meat, but even in the pink-sludge-style nuggets you shouldn’t get a bone either.

    I feel bad for the guy who has to pay for his own healthcare now.

      “Boneless” even as a style of preparation strongly suggest, well, removing bones.

      The second stage is perversion of reality, where people come to believe that the sign is an unfaithful copy, which “masks and denatures” reality as an “evil appearance—it is of the order of maleficence”. Here, signs and images do not faithfully reveal reality to us, but can hint at the existence of an obscure reality which the sign itself is incapable of encapsulating.

    This is stupid from every direction imaginable.

    Boneless doesn’t mean boneless? Oh, okay. Words don’t mean things anymore. Cool.

    But also, imagine inhaling your nuggies so fucking fast that you don’t notice a fucking bone in your mouth. Do you just not chew your food? Pour that slop right down my esophagus, fuck yeah.

      plenty of people have problems chewing or digesting food, which is why they’d go for something softer and guaranteed to be safer like boneless chicken

        You’re right, it’s ableist of me to criticize people for chugging meat like it’s a smoothie. I’m a bad comrade. There’s actually no other sources of protein that don’t have bones. beanis

            This is the carnist equivalent of a lib criticizing a communist for using a cell phone

            I’m not going to delete your carnist apologism but I’m also not going to act on your report of this post. There’s nothing in the story to suggest that the chicken bone guy is anything more than a bog standard meat eater. Don’t shelter carnist apologism with baseless accusations of ableism.

              i’m sorry but maybe i’m not understanding - I’m not in any way defending carnism, hell im not even trying to defend the guy but the original commenter came out the gate about ‘nuggies’ and not digesting and chewing food and all i said is that some people have problems chewing or digesting food, which is why they might not chew or they might go for something without bones. As someone who works in healthcare and in aged care, i just thought it was worth piping up and saying that. They then responded to me, implying that I’m trying to call them ableist (which i never did in my first comment, so they’re jacketing me - i am literally just trying to make sure all angles are fairly considered) and that I’m trying to insinuate they’re a ‘bad comrade’ and then tying this to me defending carnism, which again I am not. and again i am not trying to defend this guy in any way. i get it if I misunderstood something here, but this genuinely feels like its coming at me for something im not trying to imply at all, but if I’m missing something I’m sorry

              edited to add: the reason the report says ‘doubling down on ableism’ is because i never brought up ableism, they did, and then in the next sentence dismissed me for calling them ableist, which again I never did, which seems to imply to me that they don’t care about ableism. maybe I’m wrong, I’d be willing to accept that, but again i never pulled any of these accusations first.

              they wouldn’t bother asking, why would such information be included unless the guy was literally an activist?

          Meh. Just because he’s disabled doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to be happy and eat tasty food and not just vegan replacements.
