Yes.
Lamb's brain isn't meat.
There are some meatheads out there
I've never before tried a vegan stick. Are they gamey?
It depends on how you project the pain your kids will go if they are eaten in your burger.
Yes. Killing one less animal is always better.
Intentionally killing none is best though.
These animals are already dead.
This is about using more of the animal, rather than going to waste.
"These animals are already dead." What sort of dumb (profanity) logic is this lmfao.

They get slaughtered for the meat already.
Using the brains for food makes sense as then it is not wasted…
Do you honestly think they remove the brains and keep the sheep alive ?

I guess shaibankek is wondering the same thing but not about the lambs.
Yet you lead them to slaughter.
Nope, I just eat the ones that are already dead. The ones in the butcher shop.
Didn't realise you worked in an abattoir, jv…
It's not really work, it's is just a hobby…
I volunteer there once a month…
@jv: Apply your logic to slavery and see how well it works out. The morally permissible solution would be to leave the animal alone.
Do you honestly think they remove the brains and keep the sheep alive ?
It would certainly explain Australian voting patterns.
@banana365: I wonder if any of these people have actually been to a slaughterhouse. It's easy to make light of these things when you keep yourself sheltered from cruelty.
Go watch Dominion and I'd be curious to see if these 'witty' comments continue. 💚
@WeePaulie: I have. One of my friends owns one.
I don't think I've ever seen intentional cruelty there though.
I'd say a good 90% of the strikes are 1 hit kills.@MasterScythe: Reality is 99% of animals are factory farmed and your supposed "friend's slaughterhouse" doesn't mean anything when you consume animal products on a daily basis. I guarantee that every animal, and their products, you eat doesn't go through that slaughterhouse. Besides, no one should care about limiting the amount of cruelty an animal goes through as it doesn't make logical sense. The basis of killing is inherently cruel. It's like saying I'm going to beat my wife less today - less != right. Do the ethical and moral thing and just don't eat animal products.
@shaibankek2: His is a factory farm.
As I said, he's pretty strict with the workers, if you can't get a kill shot, don't try, reposition the animal.
There's no denying there's a lot of death, but there's minimal suffering.
Do the ethical and moral thing and just don't eat animal products.
Can I respectfully decline to follows that moral without any serious consequences ??
@WeePaulie: I have. I used to live next to one. I've helped slaughter cattle, pigs and chickens. Quick, painless and respectful. I'd be truly happy if that's how I got the chance to end my life. It's far less unpleasant than any of the friends and family I've watched die slowly in their final days.
I don't claim that all animals are treated in such a way, just as not all animals are treated the way that is shown in films such as Dominion.
@banana365: So you'd be ok with someone coming up to you when you've only lived out 1% of your natural lifespan and randomly slitting your throat to eat you for no reason other than taste. Sounds good buddy.
@shaibankek2: That'd be some (profanity) long lived livestock then. Ranging from 100 to 500 years old.
There's a lot of merit in a vegan diet, it's just such a shame that a vocal minority of vegans are fundamentally unaware of how much they put people off with their sanctimonious wailings.
I wonder if any of these people have actually been to a slaughterhouse.
Not everyone needs to be able to endure every profession for that profession to be valuable.
Can everyone endure the work of a paramedic, firefighter, police officer or trauma surgeon?
@Scrooge McDuck: Those professions (except cops) save lives and are founded on the dignity of life; slaughterhouse workers (or rather their masters, which include you the customer) end lives and are founded on profit and tastebuds.
and tastebuds.
And since consumption is basically all we exist to do as a species; that's a really big factor for most.
@WeePaulie: What alarmist nonsense.
As a teenager I assisted a butcher who shot a cow in the temple, then hoisted it into the air on a tripod, slit its throat, ripped its guts out, tugged its hide off. Then processed it down into steaks, positioned the head on a log for maggots to empty so it could be used in the garden as an ornament. Next day we began the salting process on the hide for a rug.
I can't wait to live on a farm again and turn chickens we raise upside down into a butchering funnel, off with their heads using a sharp knife, then drop them into boiling water before tossing them into a homemade feather plucker made from a washing machine and long rubber fingers that strips the feathers off when spun… oh and fit bunnies into a rabbit dispatcher, all for our own food.
There were about 14 of us present that day from teenagers through to pensioners. Everyone ate steak that night. In fact it was the best flavour and texture (soft) meat I'd ever tasted, or since. Once people see it, it means less than nothing. That's why there were no vegetarians or vegans a few decades ago, because most people had at least some experience, with most people having chickens. After that it's no different to harvesting potatoes, carrots, or any other type of food.
Processing your own animals has only brief shock value, because thanks to supermarket convenience most people today don't get to see it. This is why vegans suggest viewing butchering videos. They know watching it rather than doing it knowing it's going to feed you that night, creates a 'superficial wastefulness' in some peoples' minds. i.e. You're not carrying out the process yourself so your mind doesn't link it to any personal need/purpose. Basically, it's a brainwashing tool used for induction purposes. They need maximum impact to recruit new cult members.
(I actually didn't think of it as a cult until a recent 'conversation' on here with one. I'd engaged with them before, their points were weak at best, but meh - their choice. But that last guy finally convinced me it's not just about 'personal choice', it really does have all the signs of a religious cult.)
@fantombloo: You wouldn't slit a dog's throat because we don't eat them. Carnivores don't make great sources of food (mammalian ones at least).
It's amazing how transparent the choices made for comparison are - "let's pick an animal they may have as a beloved family pet. That'll win them over!"
That really doesn't work with most people.
@fantombloo: Still need to work on your methods of winning people over mate. Alternatively, give up all together and leave the conversion attempts to vegans that can engage other people without insulting them.
@fantombloo: Annoying vegans aren't the reason most people don't become vegans. They just fail to see that their techniques are extremely unlikely to win people over.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're annoying because they're vegan. I'm sure if they weren't vegan they'd find some other way to irritate people.
@banana365: It also assumes people won't eat a dog.
Most people I know have said they would, if no other meat was available (odd how often this hypothetical comes up)
@banana365: I heard about that years later but it made me wonder how it could possibly be any better, because I've never had meat like that again.
It was a local butcher my uncle paid to come and do it on his property. The guy just turned up with a rusty tripod of pipes and chain block on his ute. (No chance of aging the meat that day LOL.)
@[Deactivated]: I mean, ultimately your reaction to that experience is yours and yours alone, but I'm personally horrified that it was such a relaxed time (and yes, I've been around animal slaughter on more than one occasion). I don't quite see how you can assert that it's "no different than harvesting carrots" - it's pretty patently different, even if you're not vegetarian. You seem to present your opinion as a sort of detached objectivity (me, the calm meat eater vs. them, the rabid cultist vegans), but I don't think you realise just how many coloured assumptions are wrapped up in your story.
@Ozymandias: I meant that it's the same in that both are harvesting food. It's much like changing dirty nappies. Before someone does it some think they'll never be able to, that they'll gag, throw up even. But once they have children and have no choice but to do it, it becomes a yawn-fest. (Even to the point where they then tease relatives and friends by leaving them alone with the baby, spare nappies, and a sly grin.)
As for the other, I used to be pretty fair and unbiased. But the more vegans I interact with (particularly one recent nitwit on here) the more I recognise a definite militant, cult-like behaviour, oft-supported by irrational thinking and patently false claims. While I do realise every group or belief has its fanatics, there seems to be a disproportionate number compared to other groups. I'm willing to believe maybe I've just been 'unlucky', but the percentage of loons among them does seem to be growing.
been this price awhile in stores…
Funny joke bro. Made me laugh haha!
yep. woolies was same price last week
Does this come in a dairy option?
If you are vegan or not, in either case don’t eat these options as they are worst for your body. These are made with ‘gums’ which are basically highly processed gluten or ‘extracts’ from different foods.
I agree that a lot of vegan foods are actually horrible for your body, but simply being a gum doesnt make something bad for you. not all gums are highly "processed" take xanthan gum, its actually made from fermented sugar.
Lol…reminds me of the line from the 5th element…"eat vegan food…its good for the enviroment and OK for you"
Couldn't imagine anything worse than having another animal's milk in my gut tbh - sounds disgusting
Yet you eat another living thing's sexual organs and babies.
How is this relevant to me at all? I don't eat or buy any animal products whatsoever.
@shaibankek2: I once lived on a small farm with some cows.
Relieving them of pain from engorgement, and then enjoying thick cream, is one of the big pleasures in life.
Delicious food, happy cows.Other animals milk has some fantastic tastes. Better than human IMO.
This is complete scary additive nonsense
All neg voters, you are free to eat whatever you want. It was just a FYI and can be ignored if you don’t agree. however try and search to see the reality of ‘vegan’ milk, vegan meat and such products which are basically slow poison, again I would say simply don’t agree or disagree with me, do your own due diligence.
I didn’t like the taste of these. The coating is quite brittle and is like a bitter dark chocolate.
I was going to ask so thanks for that.
I've tried several vegan-exclusive foods and the only thing that tasted remotely good (or just normal but without flavour) was a smallish raspberry cake from Woolworths several months ago. After the awful experience of eating vegan foods before (no eggs, no milk, no butter… makes things taste YUCK!), I'd sworn never again. So I only risked it because it was marked way down, had shaved chocolate on it. Of course like most foods they paste a 'vegan' label on, next to no-one buys them. So after that I never saw it on the shelf again. Well done WW. You finally made something vegan that didn't taste like plastic chewing gum or diluted paint stripper, and then discontinue it. Maybe next time put the 'vegan' label in a much smaller font so they can still see it, but it won't a warning label to everyone else.
It irritates me seeing vegan food marked down every time I go to WW, because nearly no-one (or maybe it's just no-one!) buys it. It sits there, fully stocked, never seen a space from one sold, until it finally expires then gets tossed out. This increases the cost of other food for the rest of us to appease the whining of a few (none of whom seem to live here).
Half price at coles/woolies is pretty normal buying online if you weren’t aware :)
Half price because it's ice-cream without the cream?
Haha funny joke boomer! May as well not acknowledge the presence of no dog in a hot dog haha!
May as well not acknowledge the presence of no dog in a hot dog haha!
I don't not acknowledge that! Nor don't I not acknowledge the presence of a lack of sense in your sentence!
Got him
Hm… Good point. What IS it made of? Sugar obviously, cocoa, xanthan gum maybe, and… what? Chalk dust, cornflour?
Vegan sticks? No matter what you think about their lifestyle, I don't think you should be eating vegans.
Disagree
I heard they taste like pork. (May as well just eat the pork. No gaol time required.)
hah someone mentioned whiny vegans in this thread, sure are a lot of whiny people in here who aint vegans
shush and let people enjoy their icecream
Just keep the iced non-cream away :P
This isn't ice cream
I think thats my biggest issue.
If you're inventing food, invent the name, if it's not iced cream, it's no icecream.
I honestly think these are pretty comparable to the real thing! Tastes like good ol' magnum and doesn't have that weird mouthfeel like that Cornetto vegan one…
100% agree. These are delicious and cruelty free, if you don't count the cruelty inflicted on boomers and meatheads who are deathly offended by plant based ice cream 😂
I love these! So yum, just like the original magnums but without the cows breast milk.
Before you vegan bashers come in here and neg this comment, let me say this - it’s your conscience 😊Breast milk as opposed to…. Nose milk? Eye milk? The definition of milk is that it comes from mammary glands. No need to be redundant.
No definition from the Oxford Dictionary (shown in a quick google search) includes that limitation at all. Some definitions don't even have anything to do with animals at all, such as "the white juice of certain plants" (e.g. coconut milk) and "a creamy-textured liquid with a particular ingredient or use." (e.g. cleansing milk).
Oh yeah fair enough
Cow breast milk… LOL. One example of the type of nonsense statements that result in vegans being relentlessly mocked, and their cause/s instantly losing credibility thus closing the ears of many people. It makes one begin to think conflict for the sake of conflict is the real goal, rather than 'education'.
Have you ever thought about how weird is it for fully grown humans to still drink the milk from an animal’s mammary glands? 🤔🤮
Not really, as our taste buds mature, it tastes significantly better than humans. Ours is too sweet.
Not weird, it is a liquid that contains all the nourishment needed for a young animal, so it is very nutritious and makes perfect sense to be a desirable thing to consume.
Tried these back at O week at unimelb few years back. IIRC they were good for dairy free but prefer normal magnums still
Awesome find thanks OP. My son has severe dairy, egg and nut allergies and the vegan classic magnums are a great treat for him whilst not getting jealous that we are having other icecreams.
I ate it, was nice, would not go out of my way for vegan icecream however
