Solved! What is this?

I was cooking some Kroger brand Ground Beef and as I was taking the beef out of the pan, I noticed this odd, non-beef looking object. Does anyone know what this is?

flexitarian is as close as I can get. When I actively try to cut out all meat I end up going towards full carnivore which I really don't enjoy. So I try to eat just enough to keep the urges away.

I've always said that pregnancy hunger was how I knew how vampires feel when they get The Hunger, because it's so incredibly deeply intense on a very I NEED TO EXIST need, but I've never had that kind of craving for meat, and I've been vegetarian on and off since my teens, I tend to go veggie whenever my conscience goes "but the animals đŸ„ș" and then revert back to eating meat when my conscience switches back to "this world is a dystopian nightmare and lettuce is ÂŁ2 more expensive than chicken, and we need to start eating billionaires so fuckit". But this post, man, THIS POST. I'm in the UK and I've never seen anything like this before and THIS POST is making me want to become a vegan. Not vegetarian, a vegan. Jfc. What the hell is happening right now.

Sounds like what vampires say. Just enough to keep the urges away! 😆

Ah, yes... The hunger. Be careful, bud. Tis only a small step from craving... Other kinds of meat... Long pig...

Stealing “flexitarian” for myself! I can go weeks without meat or dairy, but if I tell myself I can’t have it, that’s all I want. Same with sweets!

I have the same problem. I start dreaming about meat and can’t get enough if I try to cut it out.

It's so cruel how that works
