Who wouldn’t want an unhealthier version of meat?

Yeah I was initially excited and actually willing to give up meat for a healthier, sustainable alternative. Read that nutritional label and nope. Didn’t make any sense

It makes more sense when you realize what problem it was actually trying to solve.

Animal farming produces about 16% of global emission each year. That means about 1/6th of every pollutant released this year was because of animal farming.

The impossible burger is in a solid 90% reduction of power usage, water usage, land usage, emissions, deforestation.

Their goal isn't to make a healthy burger. Not at all.

But it’s fucking gross. We could just make supplements to reduce methane or some shit and eat delicious beef. Or stop driving big cars everywhere. Fuck eat processed pea imitation meat.

My wife is vegetarian. She would rather have a black bean burger then a fake bloody processed burger.

Have you ever tried J Kenji Lopez-Alt’s recipe for black bean burgers? It’s phenomenal. My family loves meat and we make that recipe once a month. He bakes the beans first to dry them out and it totally improves the texture and flavor.
