First topic message reminder :

The campaign featured taglines such as ‘Vegetarians, resistance is futile’

One of Gourmet Burger Kitchen's adverts on the Tube Twitter/Adam Libonatti-Roche
A burger chain has said it will remove some adverts after being accused of "mocking" vegetarians in its latest advertising campaign.
Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) has come under fire for a series of advertisements which vegans and vegetarians have branded "disgraceful".
The adverts, seen mostly at London Underground stations and trains, include taglines such as “Vegetarians, resistance is futile.

One of the adverts has the picture of a cow, with the tagline: “They eat grass so you don’t have to”.
People have taken to social media to condemn GBK’s ads, coining the hashtag #gourmetmurderkitchen to highlight what has been perceived to be a flippant attitude towards the consumption of meat.
Complaints have also been made to the Advertising Standards Authority.
@gbkburgers Loved GBK but apparently we're not welcome #vegetarian #vegan #resistanceisfutile #ieatgrasswiththem pic.twitter.com/jRY7cdyhtz

The backlash against #gourmetmurderkitchen @gbkburgers tells us, that these people offended aren't quite ready to be adults #vegetarians

Genius marketing, take the piss out of those doing most to heal our planet #gourmetmurderkitchen #GBK

Not impressed with @gbkburgers putting up antagonising adverts like these on the underground!!! #vegan #gbk pic.twitter.com/4hUPrK9hnF

It seems veganism on the rise when marketing takes a pathetically desperate turn for the crass #goodluckwiththat #gourmetmurderkitchen
— Harriet Layhe (@HarrietLayhe) January 17, 2016
You have also reinforced the stigma behind vegan diets, poked fun at animal suffering and pissed your customers off. #gourmetmurderkitchen
— Lucy (@LucyHRichards) January 16, 2016

GBK responded to the flood of complaints on Monday, confirming they will be taking down ”some” of the adverts.
In a statement posted on their Facebook page, GBK said: “We’ve been reading the reaction to our latest advertising campaign and needless to say, we’re quite taken aback. “Our intentions were light-hearted and not meant to cause any offence, but clearly we have, and for that we apologise. “Having read all your comments and messages, we’ve made the decision to take down some of the adverts.”

We all eat very much the same types of meat world over and hence why you should never turn your nose up to other types of meat dishes, just because it is prepared or even cooked a different way.
Learn to realise how lucky we have been born into a society where food is ready available for us, because in other parts of the world people struggle daily just in order to find food, in order to survive.

I have been a meat lover all my life, but these past 6 months or so, meat makes me want to gag whenever I eat it. So, I've decided to give it a miss and just stick to fish, which I still like.

I couldn't say. I don't eat meat but when I did I used to only ever eat the picture you out up - which I thought was diced chicken breast.
But I think KD assumes it's chicken smooshed together?

er...that`s incorrect its storme that thinks it`s chicken squashed together not me eddie i worked in a kebab shop for two years ,i know its not also they dont make chicken kebabs like donner
chicken is Brest cubed marinaded in a sauce at least over night then put on skewers then cooked on the grill
donner kebas are made with minced lamb and spices ,this is packed in to a mould then frozen solid

this is the meat you see them cutting in the shop

90 % of the other dishes are made with a base sauce made from mostly onions and some other vegetables with spices cooked till soft then liquidised to make the base ingredient for the other dishes  

(starwars still had a que a mile long so decided to try again later but DC legends of tomorrow was great )
