Steers Rip Off

It actually does surprisingly. As mincing it in the first place is processing it, then putting salt, pepper and maybe a little garlic powder in it and forming it into a patty makes it ultra processed :-)

On UPFs, that's why much of the vegan faux meat foods are so unhealthy. Took me a long time to realise this when the marketing stunt started, touting all this stuff as healthy.

If stuff is being made from mushroom protein or the like, it's gotta be pumped with salt, sugar and other flavourants to be palatable. I'd rather eat horse meat. :sick:

That stuff is terribly unhealthy, it's taking the ultra processed label to the extreme. There are plenty of ways to make vegan or vegetarian meals that don't need to taste like meat and or be ultra processed.

Same :-) or a falafel schwarma :-). My brief year as a vegetarian got me trying out different things, but eventually went back to chicken and fish, then eventually beef, lamb and pork.

Many people succumb to eating meat again after a bacon sandwich. Evil, heavenly things.

I think it might've been something like that ;-). Or at a braai and my vegetarian option just didn't smell as good as the wors. So nibbled some of it and the dopamine was like boom
 
Much ado about nothing...

For Steers the optics aren't great and the SM outcry is just that, trial by public opinion...

There's no thing such as bad publicity though. Our Wacky Wednesday yesterday was notably busier than expected...

what a joke, okes throwing the tools in the road, making a black on black thing a race thing....

is it right? I would say its questionable to do this but at the end of the day I feel its not that bad, many people get asked to perform duties outside of their role and they suck it up and deal for a job and to support the company/culture etc.

I have all the right....offended by everything, what's new.

I suppose it's much like asking staff to wash store front windows to keep the gaff looking respectable. Depends on how much of this is asked of the staff as opposed to whatever they are contractually employed to do, but then some contracts have a "and whatever the job entails" get-out clause which never sits well with me.

Yeah I definitely think if it's an every week thing that's not cool very much depends how much of it is going on.

you need to learn how to cook better then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my home made burgers beat the ever-loving shyte out of any McD's burger any day of the week

for one, I only use topside mince (i.e. pure steak mince) and hand press them so they actually have a mince texture still, for another I control the meat to bun ratio and make ~120g patties, not the 30g flat pancake McD's passes off as a patty

I use fresh rolls and toast them with real butter

and so on and so forth, it is really not difficult to beat a McD's burger with home cooking

When I worked in Spur in the 90s, they'd make us clean the bathrooms if needed, we were just waiters. Almost as if they used the staff.

Exploitation is never good (and contracts are often a source of grey areas, if there even was a contract) but this was par for the course back then. Worked for St. Elmo's in the 90s, the manager made us clean windows, get up ladders to clean/replace light fittings & lamps, run errands to get him cigarettes...
