My biggest concern about artificial meat is what it will do to ranch lands which today feed cattle. For one, ranchers will go out of business, and two, grazing animals are actually critical to keeping grasslands healthy. If there is no one raising grazing animals, it could lead to more desertification of grasslands.

Democrats love aborted baby cells for genetic research. Democrats hate plant based genetic research. Frankenstein human body parts good for humans. Frankenstein plants parts not good for for plants. Western Europe is falling by the wayside of human history. Western Europe is for tourist and is a museum of long ago history and not much more.

Humperdinks restaurants in DFW has been pushing the Impossible Burger for a few months now.

Now that I know what it is, I will have to try one some day.

Why do tree hugging organic earthy crunchy liberals need to eat fake meat? I thought veggies were "good" for you?

I can hardly imagine anything more unnatural than a chemically engineered, DNA modified slab of tofu. How do the "organic" au naturel granola types square this Frankenburger with their liberal philosophy?

The burger contains wheat gluten and a big dose of sodium.

Maybe they can add peanut protein for people with nut allergies.

I hope lots of people switch, leaving more real meat for me.

Sounds like “GREENBEEFOS” from the old Si-Fi story THE ULTIMATE CATALYST.

Does anybody remember Olestra? It gave people violent, greasy flatulence. These days it’s being marketed as an industrial lubricant and paint additive.

A few decades ago, I tried some soy-based ‘ham’.

It looked like a thin slice of ham. It had a ham taste and smell. But the texture was stringy.

I have never bought any since and don’t intend to. Veggies posing as meat products just do not appeal to me as long as I can still find stores selling real meat products.

Olestra a paint additive. I like that idea. The paint goes on smoothly and hopefully it sinks in for a long lasting bond with the wood. Seriously, look at all of the usefulness of whale blubber and of lard during previous centuries. One of these days they may make houses from reprocessed corn cobs and reconstituted sunflower shells. A little bit of enzyme action and super heat and instant building material.

I’ve had the “Impossible Burger” (against the recommendation of my server). It did indeed taste like beef, but the texture was like breaddy, mushy meatloaf.

Not very good. NOT the equivalent to a real burger.

I should of followed the server’s recommendation.

If you want to add that "natural gristle" facet to this phony-burger, and eat it like a steak, maybe you can just add a big clump of hardened Vaseline...

My biggest concern is it will open the door in the future for artificial meat which is ‘good enough’ for the plebs and a ban on meat since ‘nobody needs to eat it anymore.

Fake meat sounds OK.

Fake blood for the fake meat sounds repulsive.

Serve it to liberals and illegals. See who leaves the country the fastest.

Why not put beet-juice on shit and call it “the new meat”?
