We could rant about the new KFC “meat for buns” sandwich, but that would be whining, and as you’re about to see, it’s nothing compared to the ingenuity, if I can call it that, of individuals or any number of small diners: behold 50 heart disease inducing hamburgers.
Some people will use this as a bookmark to stay on a healthy, plant-based diet and avoid the heart disease risk that the mere viewing of these pictures could cause. Others will find themselves yearning a little, whether they want to admit it or not. For those in the second group, I think you’ll find that the vegan food world has got more than enough junk food in it to make just about any weird creation possible without the need for animal suffering.
And let’s be honest, the people in category one probably don’t read Vegan Porn. That’s not a good thing or a bad thing, it’s just a thing, and I’m guessing that the majority of you are torn between your initial revulsion and a tiny bit of lust. I happen to live in a place where there are three locations, all within a five minute walk, where I can get all the ingredients I need to make a vegan version of these things. There are reasons I don’t own a deep fryer, and one big one has to do with the concept that possession is nine tenths of Bad Life Choices.
So why aren’t there more businesses focused on vegan suicide food, anyway? I suspect that the majority of “vegan product” companies are after a bigger chunk of the pie, so some nominal level of health claims need to be on the packaging, even if it’s “doesn’t contain lard,” but is there a sense of responsibility beneath all that that just won’t let a company that makes non-meat food release something that you’d find on a takeout shelf at 7-11?
What’s the most disgustingly guilty product in your area that happens to be vegan? Let me know in the comments!

I didn’t get very far in that 50 burgers thing before I had to close that link. I mean, ew, ew, ew. If you look at any part of it too close to bedtime, it will almost surely give you nightmares.
I actually feel sick XD

Proof once again that a) vegans can out-innovate and b) with great power comes great responsibility.
Teese – that fake cheese in a tube. Or a Lick’s natureburger.
my city has a vegan hot dog cart downtown w/chili cheeze dogs. mmmmm. that might qualify for guilty… guilty & delicious!
@Jane, that’s pretty cool – we’ve got tons of veggie dog options on carts here (Toronto,) but they share the grill with the rest of the crap…
Someone sent me a list of more gross food that people will love/hate, but I’m going to wait until next week for that.
Straight to the link.
Darwinism at work. I’m fat just eating veges, not even much fatty stuff, even a lovely pile of carbs would tend to much smaller that those car crashes in a bun!
I’m thinking of going to Norway, seems to be three wholefood stores in the entire country…So It’ll be a short visit:)
