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."

Yep. That $1 Taco is nasty. I hated it.
If I want a burger, I’ll get one with BEEF...
If I want vegetables, I’ll get a vegetable plate at Cracker Barrel...
“plant-based produc”
Plants that’s what food eats.
I think I’ll pass.
Ugh. But then again, could it be worse than one of those chain’s frozen meat product as already served?
Pre-fabricated, frozen, deep fried, 2 strands of lettuce and two strands of cheese added. Narrowest part of the taco is 0.150" thick. I was so hungry I didn't hate the first one but the second one dune me in.
I love getting their triple-triple Protein-Style burgers.
They are offering a Deal if you buy both the regular Whopper and the Impossible Burger at the same time to compare the two.
I had one last Saturday at a burger joint in Seattle... It was ok, kind of dry. I much prefer a juicy beef patty.
How does McDonalds get away with charging $4.50 for a Big Mac while In & Out charges less than $4.00 for a Double Double?
I could eat there every single day. And probably weigh 300 lbs.
...uh...
Still, pray for us. I’m willing to take my chances
More like a “Whapper” because when you take it out of the bun a throw it onto the floor, it goes “WHAP!”
Thanks. There’s a history of breast cancer in my family, so I stay away from soy.
Only one thing I actually like but don’t order is Edamame.
I’ve only had a few nibbles off of other people’s dishes.
So,they are no different than their regular burgers!..................
They already use pink slime, which is legal, a horrible pulverized blended meat product, that has no taste. Why make it even WORSE with NO meat....
In prison it is Nutraloaf....

I haven’t read through the comments yet, so I’m hoping that I’ll be the first to say, “Where’s the beef?”
Anyway, as if it is the meat that is the culprit. It is all the bread . . . carbs.
