Garfield by Jim Davis for January 13, 2024

Garfield the food critic.

The patty looks like yarn

Yes, it taste just like meat…if you’ve never tasted meat before.

Green meat? Where’d you get it? An Arizona prison?

Don’t give me grass clippings and tell me it’s taste like beef I want my beef fresh off the cow

I’ve tried a couple of plant based burgers that were edible. They tasted nothing like meat, but they were edible.

Cows eat grass to make meat, so I guess you are just eating the grass and cutting out the middle man?

Actually there are several vegetable patties that I like, but the ones I like have flavor of their own and do not try to be meat.

Garfield! That insult toward cardboard was uncalled for…

Spot on, Garfield!

Cats shouldn’t eat vegan, it’s bad for them.

I’ve been a vegetarian since ‘73. There are a lot of good vegetarian meat-like products out there. My wife wasn’t a vegetarian, but she enjoyed quite a few of those as well… vegetarian burgers, chicken patties, hot dogs, bologna and breakfast sausages were her favorites.

When I see cattle growing on trees I “might” try eating a plant-based burger.

At least you actually get to eat a meal in peace, Jon……

You mean like those disk shapes masses of indefinable material that Mcdonalds serves up on a daily basis.

They’re tasty.

Garfield would not touch a soy burger, too much estrogen could interact badly whit his enormous amount of Ghrelin hormone (or give him knockers).

Well little Ceasars pizza tastes like cardboard.

Always trust Garfield’s wisdom.

Veggie burgers don’t taste like wet cardboard! They taste like wet grass. Get it right!

I wouldn’t know…I haven’t had either…

Lazy cliche.

I’ve never had an artificial Burger before so, No Comment :)

The joke is a bit outdated.

That’s because Jon bought the wrong brand, Garfield. I’ve bought some that really do taste VERY CLOSE to the real deal. Season it right (Don’t argue: We all add some, even ketchup, which is a liquid seasoning), and you got a healthy alternative when the doc orders you to eat better.

The trick is to make your own.

Just remember that if god intended for us to be vegetarians, he/she would not have made cows and pigs so tasty.

Plant-based meat? Why not eat meat-based plants?

The impossible burgers are actually pretty good…

The ‘’impossible beef’ is surprisingly good! And less guilt!

I’m with Garf on this one!

I never tasted wet cardboard, so I wouldn’t know.

I prefer the real thing. Where’s the beef?

Ah straight from bill gates cookbook

Some of the veggie burgers are really quite good. Until the stores stopped stocking them, the best was a chipotle burger by Gardein. It was my favorite Saturday meal.

My friend is vegan, I told her there is not enough ketchup

“Hamburger tastes like wet cardboard”[insert reference to your least favorite fast food chain here]

I fully agree with Garfield

I usually prefer real ground beef over the veggie burgers myself.

I’ve had several veggie burgers. Some were very tasty, and others not. But neither came close to tasting like beef.

“I’d rather die with a burger in my colon than some got dang Fauxfu” – Hank Hill

Plus they’re loaded with weird chemicals. I like my food to be real food!

It doesn’t have to taste like beef to taste good.

When I went vegan 40 years ago, Garfield would have been right. Today, I make my own that don’t taste like beef but are delicious and way healthier than eating dead cow flesh. If I get nostalgic for a “real” burger I go to Burger King and get an Impossible burger.

All the stuff they put in it to make it take like meat are worse for you than the real thing.

oy Garfield…calm down.

Impossible burgers really are pretty indistinguishable if not over-cooked.

I have found most ranchers that sell cattle to be extremely good people. I choose to support them with my business the rest of my life.

I have no idea why people would want to make vegetable matter taste like meat. If you like vegetables and don’t want to eat meat, why try to eat something that tastes like meat? If you’re hungry for meat, you might just be craving the kinds of proteins that are in the meat because that’s what humans are designed for. Just eat meat and give your body what it needs.

Grass and hay are plants. Cows eat grass and hay. Therefore, All beef is plant based. QED.

you’d be surprised how good it tastes if you have not yet tried one

Trust me, Garfield, it doesn’t taste like wet cardboard. It tastes like nothing.

When society breaks down and we resort to cannibalism, Vegans will be the closest thing we have to Grass Fed Meat.

I had the impossible burger at Red Robin the last two Saturdays. It really was good. Tasted just like a regular burger.

And if that’s what it’s made of, just think of how many trees you killed to make that burger.

Several years ago I developed a heart murmur. to treat it I went vegetarian for a year and a half. Cleaned out all my arteries and veins, and my diabetes went away. No hjelp with the heart valve, Turned out it was scar tissue from rheumatics disease. What I did discover is that they now have all kinds of substitutes that are really good.

I agree with garfield

What demon from the internal pit spawned thee?

I’m with Garfield.

If society collapses and we have to resort to cannibalism, Homeless Vegans will be the closest source for free range grass fed meat.
