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 pass.....
The buns, the french fries and the chemicals in the patty will detrimentally affect the diabetes. Why doesn’t Burger King determine its total glycemic index?
LOL
A new Falafel joint opened near us, right next to a new Burrito joint, just in front of a new Aldi, up the highway from a new Five Guys and around the corner from a new Panera Bread, Whole Foods and the Acme.
I’d have to live to be a hundred to sample all of the eating joints and grocery stores around here.
Mrs. JimRed brought me home half of her lunch, Falafel with hummus, salad, olives and Pita. Not bad, but I still would opt for the Five Guys.

My thought, too....Make a lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Your mistake for relocating to Humidston from Khali instead of the DFW area... when we were scouting Texas in 2004 to move here, we consistently heard, ‘don’t move to Houston’.

My health nut sources say soy burgers are a definite no. Tempeh is the only soy product they recommend.
Every time “they” dictate what we eat, they get it wrong.
The food pyramid with high carbs and low fat — gave us metabolic syndrome — diabetes — heart disease, etc.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil — it goes in, but it doesn’t come out.
Artificial sweeteners, olestra, soybeans with their female hormones, etc, etc.
Now this.
Just eat what your great grandparents ate in the same amount they ate it, and you’ll be healthy.
Don’t listen to the boobtube or the intertubes.
If you can’t afford real food, well, bye.
Mind Bleach, please! Got a liter or two?
That reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards.
I was grossed out by those too.
Raised in the country on grass-fed free range meat, I’ve never liked the feedlot/factory farm stuff-it has all the taste of styrofoam dipped in vegetable oil-totally bland-I don’t buy meat or any other food at Walmart, HEB, etc-only fresh meat and veggies from local small chain grocery and locker plant/butcher shop...
Just don’t fiddle with the White Castle midnight special!
When I visit back east, it’s the first place I want to go.
Everybody there thinks I’m nuts.
I was thinking about ordering from ButcherBox, heard a lot of good things about them, albeit they are expensive.
I like whoppers, but now that I won’t know what they’re serving me until I get home to eat it, no way I’m going to Burger King again. Can’t trust them.
Same thing happened when 31 Flavors started selling frozen yogurt, it was their end. Most ice cream eaters didn’t want to chance getting yogurt by mistake. I never went there again.
Plant estrogens got you worried?

Further proof that P.T. Barnum was right.
Unless the price difference is marginal (seldom the case), I avoid anything marked "organic". It just means that they use the crap for fertilizer instead of the chemical compounds to which the crap breaks down and that the bugs and critters get their share while remaining unpoisoned. Growing your own is another matter, the best kind.
That’s the one made from dog food ingredients, right? Noooooooooo thanks.
