AP Recommends ‘Veggie Burgers’ for Memorial Day, Mocked by Red-Meat Eating Americans
Memorial Day is an important day for millions of Americans. On this day, we honor those who fought and died for the nation, gather with friends and loved ones, and relish in a cookout, complete with delicious, classic American barbeque.
The Associated Press, however, felt that the biggest meat-eating country on Earth needed a new addition to their grills: veggie burgers made of quinoa and beans.

Of course, red-blooded Americans didn’t take too kindly to the recommendation. Hundreds flocked to the post within hours, ruthlessly mocking it and even sharing a few of their own Memorial Day recipes.

Some of the responses were a bit harsher – but hilarious nonetheless.

Some commenters thought the veggie burger didn’t go far enough. To supplement the AP-recommended quinoa and bean burger, users suggested washing it down with a Bud Light before going swimming in a “Target tuck” bathing suit.

“Fake meat, fake news organization. Seems about right.” ~@erjohnjordan on Twitter
The Associated Press didn’t notice the disconnect between itself and the average meat-eating American – but the latter surely did.

With Americans eating 270 pounds of meat per year (as of 2017), the Memorial Day barbeque is a staple of American life that cannot be trifled with.
Previous attempts have been made through the massive fake meat producer “Beyond Meat.” Despite several billion-dollar deals with America’s top fast-food chains
and retail giants, the company is nearing bankruptcy as American consumers refuse to eat the brand’s soy-based “beef.”

The everyday American’s love of meat is something the leftist coastal elite doesn’t understand, as evidenced by countless failed advertising and investment attempts. They had such confidence in “Beyond Meat” that they, through sheer investment alone, shocked the stock price to nearly 250 dollars.
With Americans refusing to put it on their memorial day grill (or anywhere other than a garbage can), Beyond Meat now sits stagnant at 10 dollars per share.
Despite the failure of most fake meat businesses, outlets like the Associated Press and Bloomberg News have continued to push a variety of off-putting meat alternatives on American consumers, ranging from insect-based snacks to soy burgers.

“Gross. Good for them though. The rest of us WILL NEVER GIVE UP MEAT. If they try to force it AND STARVE US, they’ll regret it.” ~@LauraMarciano8 on Twitter
Despite relentless media pressure and feigned environmental alarmism, the American cookout tradition – with real meat – has remained strong.
