Het volgende artikel kwam ik op Care2 tegen, hierin het verhaal van een veganistische slager in Minneapolis. De winkel trekt ongelofelijk veel bezoek en dat stak Cheryl Day van een nationaal boerenblad. Ze stelt dat het aan alle kanten onethisch is, dat de uitbaters van deze winkel/restaurant zich slager durven te noemen…….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
Lezen mensen, er staan nog een paar voorbeelden in van veganistenhaters uit de vlees- en levensmiddelen industrie, zoals Unilever. De ongelofelijke huppeltrut haalt zelfs god aan, in haar achterlijke beschuldiging: god zou willen dat we dieren eten…… ha! ha! ha! ha! God zal blij zijn, als hij ziet hoe de mens met ‘zijn schepping’ omgaat in de ‘vleesindustrie’ en de daaraan voorafgaande groot- en dood marteling van ‘zijn schepselen’ in de intensieve martelveehouderij……..
Vegan
Butcher Opens Doors and the Meat Industry Goes Nuts
By: Susan
Bird
What
is it about a new “vegan butcher” that has meat industry
supporters in a royal tizzy? Perhaps it’s the overwhelming
popularity of this meat-free option?
Brother
and sister team Kale and Aubry Walch just opened the Herbivorous
Butcher,
a vegan butcher shop in Minneapolis, Minn. Offering small batch
“meat-free meats” and “cheese-free cheeses” made from
locally sourced ingredients, the Herbivorous Butcher calls itself
the first vegan butcher shop in America.

It’s
already a must-visit destination for non-meat eaters in the Twin
Cities area. That’s because locals know the quality of the
product. The Walchs have been selling faux meats and cheeses there
since 2014. They began small, at a farmer’s market stand,
progressing to pop-ups, state fairs and festivals as their
popularity grew.
A Kickstarter
campaign offered
Kale and Aubry the chance to take their dream to the next level. In
2016, they’ve done that in a big way. Opening day was Jan. 23 and
customers came flowing in. Here’s just one shot of what the line
looked like that day:
“We’re
like a savory bakery, that’s what we call ourselves,” Aubry told
The Minneapolis Star Tribune.
“Everything is a dough, and then it gets either steamed, or baked,
or braised, depending upon the product.”
The
Walchs designed the store to look like a butcher shop from days gone
by, but a little more shiny and hip. There’s even a huge
meat cleaver outside
the front door with the store’s name emblazoned on it. While
that might be a tad disconcerting at first glance, the deli cases
quickly relieve the concern. There’s no meat as far as the eye can
see. Instead, all sorts of faux meats and cheeses fill the deli
cases, carefully crafted from recipes perfected after years of work.
“Sixty
to 70 percent of our customers are omnivores, or vegan before six,”
Kale told
The Minneapolis Star Tribune.
“The rest are vegans or vegetarians.”
While
the crowds prove Minneapolis loves having a vegan butcher, at least
one meat industry supporter is crying foul. She doesn’t like the
“vegan butcher” label and she doesn’t like the product.
Cheryl
Day is the editor of National Hog Farmer magazine. In a Jan. 25 blog
article, she
argues the concept of a vegan “butcher” is “just plain
unethical and wrong on all levels.” Yes, you read that correctly.
The vegans are the unethical ones.
Day
believes the moniker “vegan butcher” is a calculated sleight of
hand.
“[S]omeone
needs to explain to me what exactly is the fascination of creating
faux meat and cheese that looks precisely the same thing as the real
deal — hoping to trick meat lovers into eating tofu bacon?
Really?” she
writes.
Oh snap, she figured it out. The evil plan is unmasked. The goal is
to fool bacon and burger eaters into becoming unknowing vegetarians.
All
this whining sounds oddly familiar. Remember when Chik-fil-A pursued
Vermont t-shirt maker Bo Muller-Moore’s Eat
More Kale company?
Raising objections to Eat
More Kale‘s
trademark application, Chik-fil-A inexplicably complained that
customers might confuse “eat more kale” with the Chik-fil-A
slogan “eat mor chik’n.” I’d bet good money that never
happens, guys. Ultimately, Eat More Kale prevailed —
and Chik-fil-A began offering a vegan
kale salad.
Here’s
another one. Unilever, maker of Hellmann’s mayonnaise, complained
via a lawsuit that
Hampton Creek’s vegan condiment “Just
Mayo”
was inappropriately calling itself “mayo.” Mayo, said Unilever,
implies it’s mayonnaise. To be mayonnaise, legally it must include
eggs. The name “Just Mayo” therefore was “blatantly
misleading.” The world laughed, and Unilever dropped its lawsuit.
Oh, and it recently
announced it’s
coming out with its own vegan mayonnaise substitute.
The
National Hog Farmer blog also takes issue with the Herbivorous
Butcher’s desire to have a “negative impact to animals.” Silly
vegans, animals are for eating because God provided them for that
purpose, Day
insists.
Oh, and those factory farmers — they take really good care of the
livestock and “treat them with the utmost respect by passionately
caring for them every day.” Sure they do. We’ve seen all that
undercover footage that proves it, right?
What
all this hubbub means is that vegan products are winning. The crowds
swarming the doors at the Herbivorous Butcher prove it. Vegan as a
choice is gaining ground and is here to stay.
Whether
it’s a “vegan butcher” or mayo that’s not mayonnaise, give
people a little bit of credit for knowing what they’re buying. Hey
meat/dairy/egg industries — we’re buying these products on
purpose. We want to avoid harming animals and the planet. There’s a
ready-made customer base for every new vegan commodity inventors can
come up with.
You
meat, dairy and egg producers are right to be worried, you know. The
day is coming when a majority of consumers will turn against you. We
can’t wait.
