Everything that’s wrong with “happy meat” summed up in one magazine cover. AR groups *must* distance themselves from this nonsense.

Let’s hope this idea spreads. Can you imagine tofu egg salad sandwiches and seitan steak sandwiches in 7-11? Awesome.

Perhaps the grossest product in existence? Interesting how it looks about as appetizing as a Big Mac. [via Paul]
Holy crap. That 7-Eleven is awesome. I wish it was a national thing, and not just that one store in Philly…

I love this part (also in the 7-Eleven article): “Malka, who is not a vegetarian himself, is somewhat amused at becoming a veggie icon. ‘I’m a vegetarian manufacturer, but I eat everything,’ he said with a laugh. ‘I just didn’t want to deal with meat so much for production – you know, with the sanitation and all.’”
You’d think he’d apply the same logic to his own diet, but hey, it’s still a cool reason and it’s great this food safety point made it into the article.
