I've had it, it was far too crumbly and had a weird after taste. Apparently they

completely fixed that in the new version. It can be grilled, it's versatile etc. If they made that big of a leap after one year I really can't see how they can't completely replicate it within 5 years or so. And then avoiding it would be simply political or something deeper emotionally I guess?

Apparently the new "impossible burger" fake burger tastes almost exactly

Nope. I’ll pass

Natural ingredients and taste verses manufactured taste.

I had a bite of a Beyond Burger recently. It was tasty and sadly better cooked

Nothing will taste like the real thing unless there is animal fat in it.

1/13/19 1:31pm

I've thought that too, but there are too many reviews that contradict

CSoul

1/13/19 1:34pm

It doesn't need the fat itself. I read something a while back on

And the ingredients will cause cancer just like beef, too.

This is great for health and the environment. Hopefully it will be cost effective soon.

Ill try it but I don’t think they’ll ever fully be able to replicate it

spugeddy24

If it is close, I'll never go back. I take no pride in eating meat so if an alternative comes up

Baron

1/13/19 1:37pm

Ground meat should be possible, but solid meats like steak, pork chops, brisket

CSoul

1/13/19 1:39pm

I take great pride in eating beef. If God didn't want us to eat meat, why did he make cows out of steak?

Adrielle

That’s ok, more meat for me to eat!

No pride in eating meat? What does that mean?

Umm he was right. You are idd to care so much about eating meat

Baron

1/13/19 3:22pm

LOL.

Adrielle

1/13/19 4:00pm

But why an alternative?

Mr. Belding

1/13/19 2:43pm

Why not? The alternative could be cheaper, more sustainable, more accessible

Alpi Gusto

1/13/19 3:06pm

Why not?

Baron

1/13/19 3:18pm

I asked you why first. You tell me why, and then I’ll tell you why not.

Mr. Belding

1/13/19 4:27pm

1. To have better health options. 2. Better environment. 3. Economics duh. 4. Less death.

Baron

1/13/19 4:33pm

Better environment? With all those live cows producing methane? Don't you care about global warming?

mightybrick

You think people would still have as much cattle? That's odd.

Worldwide cattle populations would plummet

That’s true. You’d go to the zoo to see cattle

I take pride in eating beef. My cardiologist is trying to humble me, though.

I think they could get close on flavor, but not texture.

1/13/19 2:21pm

Ok fine leave the hamburger on the cow, just give me the steak.

yes. I was invited to have some a few days ago on an advanced sampling

That picture looks nasty. Like raw meatloaf.

It really doesn't look right in person either

Weird how they didn’t link any articles with your reviews

JohnnyComeLately

It really sounds like it comes from someone who is trying too hard to promote it

Better than a McDonalds burger?

This should be a good bridge until we can grow meat without killing live animals

ebv

1/13/19 2:34pm

as opposed to killing dead animals? 🙂

1/13/19 2:35pm

Fair, I really just wanted to emphasize that that process grows live tissue.

ebv

PS--there is very little in this world I enjoy more than a well-smoked brisket.

ebv

Gotcha. I have a built in skepticism to it still

1/13/19 2:40pm

Probably not for me, either. I think plant-based proteins will be hard

What do they exist for? Grow them old as pets?

I'm no PETA member

coolcats

I'm just wondering what else we're supposed to do with them.

1/13/19 3:28pm

Maybe we're not supposed to do anything with them

coolcats

1/13/19 3:36pm

Where are you coming up with "supposed to?"

1/13/19 8:47pm

The title of your post right above

I have no problem with people eating meat, or other uses. I just want them to do so in a humane way
