I mean, this is horrific, I can really only identify the carrots as actual food, but what do US military personnel think their government thinks of them when they treat their veterans like they do? Their veterans get treated like scum. Their current Secretary of Defense literally ran multiple veteran support scam companies. How can active soldiers not see that thats how they will be treated when they become veterans? The fact that the military isn’t marching on Washington to arrest the executive and the complicit portion of the legislative branch tells me they are not enlisting their best and brightest.
The thing in the lower right is a overcooked hamburger patty. But the grey thing… that’s what’s stumping me.
I thought it was fish at first, but it’s the wrong texture for that. Then maybe re-fried beans… but why/how would they be shaped like that? About the only thing I can think of given the shape/texture is some sort of polenta?
Oh man, you know what those all have in common? They’re not just called processed meat slabs. I eat a lot of tofu, but I don’t want to eat something gray and shiny called a processed fermented bean slab.
You require a cute name for food before you will eat it? Because calling it “mechanically separated chicken” doesn’t work for you, but “chicken nuggets” does.
Well, if having to lie to yourself to make food delicious works for you, more power to you.
I, on the other hand, am firmly aware of what I’m eating. I don’t need anyone to lie to me about it.
Interesting. I don’t think I mentioned “chicken nuggets” working for me, let alone the rest of that, but I wouldn’t want to suggest that you’re responding to a whole lot of things I didn’t say.
Perhaps I’m just not worthy of responding to such an idol of pragmatism.
They might have thought they were not going to get the speedrun to the treatment you are (rightly) pointing out.
But yes, the jingoist conservative-lovin’ goofballs that are in the military, part of military families etc, should take a good look at how Republicans tend to treat them on the backend.

From the article, emphasis mine
shudder
I guessed a slice of eggplant 😅
Chicken nuggets are processed meat. Spam is. Lunch meat is. Most ham is.
It’s gonna be marginal quality because of how military contracts go, but processed meat is not the problem.

If they could call it anything else, they would

And completely unaware of the role that plays in most people’s enjoyment of food. Being a weirdo is no excuse to dismiss the experiences of others.

Terribly cooked donair meat? The slice shape and texture reminded me of that but the colour yeesh.
Undocumented Immigrant Meat.
Secretary of War.
Yeah I’m not calling him that
Well, it’s ironically more accurate.
Maybe, it’s still stupid, they haven’t even officially renamed the department.
Secretary of Excursion.

That’s crazy
Think of the average age of a military personnel.
Go on about the scam vet companies?
this is one of the first things that pops up when you google it
