Flexitarian Burger

Last week Aldi or Lidl were criticised for selling something they called a flexetarian burger. It's a burger containing both meat and beans. Is that a new word for people who are half vegetarian? Bit confusing all of these names. I eat meat and vegetables. Does that make me a flexatarian?

I'm pretty sure that the frozen burgers my dear mum used to buy when I was a wee nipper had lots of other ingredients too. I'd be surprised if they had even 50% beef in them to be fair

Too be fair when they say it's 100% beef then it includes the fat from the meat also. It does not mean it's pure meat. I might be wrong

It sounds like a dumb marketing ploy. As if people who eat meat don’t usually have i with vegetables anyway

I usually eat burger with no salad... Most food poisoning comes from salad

Not if you wash it properly first!

You are more likely to get food poisoning from under cooking meat products than from salad.

I think they’re trying to be a little more responsible. The name is stupid but I get the idea which is essentially providing a product that’s meat but, less meat. Just have to watch the news to see that beef production is the latest thing to be targeted by the green brigade

I did a food handling course years ago and most food poisoning definitely comes from salad. Washing makes the risk worse..

What are you supposed to do with it?

I don't think it's a great name for the burger. Flexitarian suggests you flex between veggie, vegan and meat. The people I have met that describe themselves as flexitarians are about 80% vegetarian but will have fish and meat on special occasions.

Don't forget the eyelids, ears, nipples and arseholes too.

Anything from a moo cow is 'beef'.

They never list the eyelids and arseholes though.

All the tasty stuff is secret.
