Send in your Lawn Clippings and they’ll make you some Delicious Burgers
I’ve read these Plant Based Burgers have the same amount of Fat as Beef Burgers do. If so, what’s the point?
They also predicted flying cars and frying planet..............
I’m not going near this stuff.
Not doing fake meat. Sorry, not doing it.
Don’t eat highly processed foods is the mantra unless of course we are talking about burgers. Then process away.
I’m just hoping demand for these increases so my meat prices drop. If it’s truly considered an economic substitute.
Corporate globalists are trying to sell the idea to the consumer crowd that they can give up meat, and eat “plant material” instead - and pay the same price.
Sorry Charlie, your bean sprout, soy, sawdust, and chemical steak that tastes "even better ... different but better!" than a real steak will find that its only place in my home would be the garbage can.
If meat is so bad...why are they spending millions in research attempting to produce a plant that tastes like meat??
The hype got to me. I tried Burger Kings heavily advertised plant based burger. meh. Not again.
All it will do is impose fake scientific/corporate/regulatory uniformity. Meat is natural, so has natural variances. Breed, feed material, climate, origin, cut, aging, etc.. all contribute to flavor and nutrition of meat. It can't be duplicated.
My cows turn plants into hamburger, too.
Meat tastes good because the body wants you to eat it.
Humans are omnivores and eat meat. By eating meat, you get protein efficiently. The animal you ate did all the work converting grass to meat. You could have eaten all the grass that the animal ate, but you’d be dead.
Trying to change nature is not a good idea.
No, I will not eat tofurkey.
Yeah, that is why butter is advertised as tasting just as good as margarine...

I love all kinds of veggie burgers
I even like fish burgers better
Makes a lot of sense. It’s kind like the way we now get seedless watermelons. The current technology for creating the beef we now buy at the grocery store is very inefficient compared to chicken. That’s why the cheapest bone-in chuck steak is 3x the price of the cheapest chicken parts. The feed conversion ratio for chicken 1.6 lbs of feed for every lb of chicken at the point of harvest. The ratio for beef is 6. The only reason chuck is so cheap is because tongue, ox-tail and filet sell for such a massive premium. If we can grow beef in the lab at anywhere near chicken feed conversion ratios, prices will plunge, and consumption will surge.
i wonder how tasty people will think lab-cultured “meat” is when they find out that it’s grown from cancer cells:
“Further research will also be needed to confirm or dispel uncertainties over various potential safety issues. Candidate topics for research include the safety of ingesting genetically-modified cell lines, as these lines exhibit the characteristics of a cancerous cell which include overgrowth of cells not attributed to the original characteristics of a population of cultured primary cells”

Impossible whopper is very good. You can not tell that it’s not beef. You just can’t.
Impossible Whopper is $5.59
You can get TWO regular Whoppers for $6. A better deal.
The author is confusing two separate tracks. The first is vegan faux beef substitutes. The second is actual meat grown in the lab that is chemically (i.e. DNA-wise) the same as the beef we get from slaughtering a cow. The second will, of course, taste exactly like beef, because that’s what it is. The analogy is to a plant grown from a branch.
