If they really can replicate real meat taste etc. from plants, I am all for it. Somehow I doubt they can really do that.

Many are claiming it’s indistinguishable- they even had it on a show of the whalburgs where people couldn’t tell it was not real- but of course they coulda been trying to push the product-
lots of grocery stores are offering it now- it’s a little expensive right now- but I’d like to try it just once- I’n nowhere near a vegan, but I would consider cutting down on meat a Little Bit IF the taste of fake is close to real IF it’s healthier- -
It’s not the taste, it’s the nutritional value, sure it’s poison, but hey, at least it tastes good.
Burger King has done it!
The “Impossible Burger” is now here!
Tastes G R R R R E A T! (as Tony the Tiger would say)
My new “go to” burger at Burger King.
You won’t know it isn’t beef in this burger.

I would be too, except if they get to where they can do it, they will outlaw the raising of animals for food, and anyone who tries to continue the tradition will be attacked and brought in on animal cruelty charges, then there will be no call for domestic animals and the breeds will go extinct, and then the government and fakemeat company will work together to control the food supply so no one can independently produce what they want. We are already partway there. Once no one is eating cow then hunting will be banned until it is no longer popular. And once that is done the 2nd amendment will be targeted even more heavily and with fewer pro gun defenders. If we ever had a disaster requiring knowledge of animal breeding and husbandry that would all be gone.
Yeah it’s fine if it works.
MorningStar Farms is all vegetarian, and their “corn dogs” are great, even 20 years ago when I first discovered them!

We bought the Impossible Whoppers this past weekend-plant based. Just to see what it was like
Could not tell from meat whopper. 100% same taste. The wife could not tell the difference either.
It would soon evolve into being mandated. Would you be all for that? I’m not going to aid and abet this concept with my money, I will boycott everyone who even goes there. Burger King done... KFC done... Arbys here I come.
Beef price for...?
Beyond meat:
Water, Pea Protein Isolate*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Pomegranate Fruit Powder, Beet Juice Extract (for color)
Not going to happen...

Fair enough. But it’s more than just the taste. There are nutritional issues as well. Animal based protein is a nutritionally complete protein (contains all 7 essential amino acids). Plant based proteins tend to be deficient in one or more amino acid and therefore require multiple sources to provide necessary protein intake.
