https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

I think it's just because guy dogs are more willingly. Every single case of mammals being gay in (((nature))) seems to be a case of prison gay.


I'm willing to believe they're gay or whatever because penguins live in a weird ancap dystopia where pebbles are traded for sex. This shit says nothing about the nature of homosexuality in humans, however, which is evidently what they're trying to push.

Don't knock it until you try it. Just come on over here and quit your squawking, baby. I've got some shiny pebbles for you!!!
 
Can't two guys live in the same nest without other people assuming they have sex with each other?
 
Edit: I'm late...
I never understood why gays used "Well there are gay animals too. Look at these gay dolphins, ect. " Well dolphins kill infants and rape lesser creatures.

Stop comparing yourselves to animals.
They are better off using stable societies that were friendly to gays as an example. Not Greece or Rome, too much child rape.

"Visitors will be able to learn about gender and mating in the animal kingdom at a Pride-themed talk, where they’ll discover just how common same-sex pairings are – from penguins and pandas to goats and giraffes," the zoo said.

I thought male Giraffes only fucked each other when there was a low female population?

I believe the whole point is to prove it's not some moral choice or mere degeneracy but a naturally occurring phenomena.

Are these birds even trying to fuck each other? Seems to me if they're not clacking cloacas or whatever it is that penguins do, they're not faggots.

Yes, male birds will mount each other and fuck.

Penguins normally steal shit from one another.
I need some pebbles but can't be bothered to go out and find any, just steal some from another nest.
I want a kid but can't be bothered fucking, just steal one from another nest.
I want a ps4 but can't be bothered paying, just steal one from another nest.

They might just be partners in a penguin crime ring.
 
"Get over it" is such a tool-y thing to say. Nobody gives a fuck about what you get your rocks off to. No one needs to "get over it" because they were never on it in the first place.
