Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?

    Fake burger is functionally the same nutrition of animal flesh burger… Maybe with fewer trans-fats at least? It shouldn’t be looked as a healthy option, although it is better morally. Like burgers, it is a sometimes food. Highly processed slop with kinda high protein, nutritionally speaking.

    Compared to a fast food burger it tastes slightly worse than a quarter pounder, but way better than a normal McDonalds cheeseburger. Basing my opinion on the Burger King Impossible burger compared to my memory of McD which I don’t eat anymore for many reasons.
