New York (CNN Business)Burger King will start selling its meatless Whopper across the United States on August 8, the biggest rollout for Impossible's plant-based product. The burger chain has been selling the Impossible Whopper, featuring a meatless patty made by Impossible Foods, in a few markets in the United States since April. It first tested the product in St. Louis before announcing in May that it would offer the Impossible Whopper nationally this year. Interest in plant-based protein has surged as many people try to reduce their meat intake for health or environmental reasons. US retail sales of plant-based foods have grown 11% in the past year, according to a July report from trade group Plant Based Foods Association and the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that supports plant-based businesses. The Impossible Whopper has been performing well, Chris Finazzo, Burger King's president for the Americas, told CNN Business.
"It's driven new guests into the restaurant," he said, noting that most of those customers either haven't been to a Burger King in a long time or haven't visited one at all. "We're really excited to be able to attract that customer."

I’m about half curious to try it. Maybe.
Frankenfoods vegans love.
I’m willing, but not eager, to try it.
Tried soy burgers before, not bad, but not impressed...........
Meanwhile, I have ground beef patties in the freezer.
“Made up of mostly soy and potato protein, and featuring coconut oil, sunflower oil and heme—an iron-rich protein that simulates the texture, color and taste of actual meat.”
No thanks.
PASS
They don’t even bother to tell us what’s in it...other than it’s a plant based protein.
I’ll try them once........
I’ve tried a few similar burgers in other chains and they are ok but not as good as a real meat one. They are often more expensive than a similar real one as well.
Very. :)
No thanks, I prefer to stay Diabetes-Free, thank you very much.
There’s something to be said for that... :)
Can’t beat a Mc Ribb.
But think of da erf!.......
In-n-out
Nation's (only in Calif.)
Smash Burgers
Freddies
Carl's/Hardee's
Burgers I don't understand why they are so popular: What-a-burger, Culvers
Burgers I don't care for: Burger King, Jack-in-the-box
“I’m willing, but not eager, to try it.”
Same here.
Culvers is clean...............
