Arby's 'Meat Vegetables' go viral on Twitter. Alicia Vitarelli reports during Action News at 4 p.m. on June 27, 2019.

Plant-based meat alternatives are a big trend right now.

One fast food chain is flipping the script, asking if others can make meat out of vegetables, why can't we make vegetables out of meat?

Arby's has created a new food category called, "Meat Vegetables" or "Megetables."

What may look like a carrot is actually a "marrot" -- a meat carrot.

Arby's head chef cut a turkey breast into the shape of a carrot and then sous vide the meat for one hour.

It's then rolled in a special carrot marinade and a brulee with maple syrup powder, and it gets a parsley sprig.

If you've been on Twitter and have seen this trending, you know most vegetarians feel trolled.
