I tried one of those Frankenstein burgers when Tim Horton’s was flogging them.. Couldn’t taste what was supposed to be meat for the sauce.. Might well have been soggy cardboard or sawdust.. with enough sauce who would notice.
The is Kelly trying to fulfill his contract without saying ANYTHING because all of his allies are idiots and thieves and he doesn’t want to call attention to the truth.
We’ve been vegetarians for eons. I find the “Impossible meat” vaguely creepy. If you don’t want meat, why would you want to eat something that masqueraded as meat? Other than an occasional veggie burger at a picnic, I don’t see the point.
Don’t worry kid. In five years they’ll find out it causes leprosy in lab rats who smoke genetically enhanced pot. Then the anti-vaxxers will claim it causes their kids to lose their tonsils as part of a government backed conspiracy to raise insurance premiums. Trump will tweet something stupid about it. AOC will go on record saying something stupid about it. The usual commentators will say the usual things they say about whichever one of those two they hate the most at the moment. And the rest of us will roll our eyes and order a chicken sandwich at whatever fast food chop shop happens to be approved by the political party we have sold our soul to.
Chill, people. It’s time to give Kelley a little credit. This one is just plain cute. I could see Watterson having Calvin say this if he were still drawing the strip.
Maybe we should encourage him to give up the editorials for a family strip.
I’ve enjoyed some of the veggie patties that made no bones (hah!) about being vegan, but have yet to pony up enough cash for the miracle-meat burger. The guy next to me at the table said it tasted fine, but he is a vegetarian so how would he know?

Do they get the meatless burger from the vegetarian butcher shop?

Is Kelly trying to make a point here?

so he wants meat that tastes and looks like broccoli? The worst of both worlds.
