WHY DON'T THEY CALL IT FOOD FOR THE BASE? That is the only type of vegetable any of them eat anyway. MEAT vegetables.
Arby's has created the first meat-based vegetable called a "Marrot." There are no plans to make the Marrot publically available for now, but the fast food chain plans to experiment with more meat-based vegetables or megetables.

Arby’s has taken its famous “We Have the Meats” slogan to a whole new plane of existence with the invention of the first meat-based vegetables — or “Megetable,” as the company has dubbed its creation.
This week, Arby's unveiled the “Marrot,” the fast food chain's response to the growing trend of plant-based meats. The meat-based carrot was created by Neville Craw, Arby's brand executive chef, and his sous-chef, Thomas Kippelen.
“Plant-based meats are the latest incarnation of making vegetables look like what Americans really want, which is great, tasty meat,” Jim Taylor, chief marketing officer for Arby’s, said in a news release.
Craw and Kippelen created the Marrot by cutting a whole turkey breast into the shape of a carrot, sous viding the meat for an hour before rolling it in a carrot marinade and then roasting the meat again for an hour. The result — the world’s first meat-based carrot.
The Marrot will not be available to the public just yet, but Arby’s has plans to continue experimenting with the megetable concept.
