Current Events > i could happily eat plant based burgers for the rest of my life

(+) Yeah! (+)

when they're good plant burgers (e.g. beyond, moving mountains) then it's fine with me

plus it's covered in cheese, bbq sauce and onions

if i tried i could probably cut out beef from my diet. i think it would be the easiest of the meats

fucking do it then, its the right thing

C, BK Impossible Burger proved my whole life wrong

They're not really any better for you than regular burgers

more for the environment and climate change, than health

but taste wise i don't think i'm missing out. i mean with beef, i do like steak but i rarely eat it. spaghetti bolognese and lasagna would be tricky but it's not something that i crave

I mean... They're not necessarily any healthier though; it's still coconut and canola oil out the wazoo. And they're processed to all get out.... Plus you miss out on the unprocessed-ness of good ground as well as the B12 in meat.

I think there are better non-meat alternatives.

I prefer bean burgers to frozen beef

Considering there aren't any actual vegetables in it, and they're just vegetable product, I think jury is still out on better for the environment as a whole. Probably? Sure, but they won't release their process which probably involves a lot of waste.

Imagine not ever craving a good steak

i've never had a bean burger that i thought "i would eat this again"

in fact i've probably had 2-3 in my life

according to a U of Michigan study,

• 99% less water
• 93% less land
• 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions
• Nearly 50% less energy

this. I typically get these instead of regular whoppers. They taste the same to me but I like the consistency better.

I dont like my burgers to smell like warm cat food and I like them to actually taste like... a burger.

Im sorry, but fake meat doesnt taste like real meat and it smells repulsive.

I was pleasantly surprised by both the Impossible Burger and the Beyond Burgers I tried.

---

isnt impossible beef more expensive than regular beef? im on a budget homie

---

I'm interested in the future of lab grown meat, but until then I actually really enjoy ground chicken burgers and salmon burgers

No where around here sells impossible beef, I'd like to try that though
