What's worse, selling cow parts or using the d-word?

In some parts of India, cows are sacred.  In many parts of America, cows are burgers.

Burger King is starting to change all that.  Its Impossible Burger is making compassion possible.  Customers can now munch on plants rather than on cows.

Nevertheless, there have been complaints.  During a Burger King commercial for the Impossible Whopper, a taster exclaims, “Damn, that’s good.”  One Million Moms, a “conservative advocacy group,” is up in arms over the d-word usage.  They are calling this ad campaign “offensive.”

Perhaps so.  But isn’t it way more offensive to be “mass producing” cows for public consumption, while polluting the planet with such practices?
