This is a special kind of silly. Colas, beers, wine, liquor and on and on. These are just beverages like milk with various properties and tastes. Saying humans shouldn't drink cow's (or goat, et al) milk is like saying humans shouldn't eat bamboo shoots because pandas eat bamboo . That really applies to any food for that matter. No sugar, no colas and so on. We should only drink water I suppose.

I've been veggie for 4+ years and I wouldn't force my views upon anyone, but my opinion is that when fake meats/protein becomes cheaper than home grown animal protein then there will be a cultural change to meat based on economics. In all seriousness of you can get protein without an animal suffering why wouldn't you?

No other species cooks their food either, so we should eat everything raw. We should stop growing our own crops too, no other animal does that. Go back to foraging for wild plants and eating raw meat like we were meant too. Of course medicine is definitely out, and clothes for sure. I shouldn't even be using this computer, no other species posts on Techspot. Why are humans so unnatural? All kidding aside there is nothing wrong with drinking milk. It's just food, like any other.

If they "had a hard time differentiating between a regular Whopper and the Impossible Whopper", that's not saying much good.
I've had an impossible hamburger somewhere else before. It tasted fine, but not a fan of it on a burger surprising enough (maybe my expectations were too high).
So still very much prefer a proper (quality) beef patty any day.

That's what the milk lobby wants you to believe. Whenever there's a food study, determine who's paying for it. Every thing that milk is supposed to provide can be found elsewhere. The body has the ability to develop tolerances, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's optimum. I eat dairy, I get congested. I stop eating dairy, the congestion goes away. In all animal species, milk is consumed by babies. Then they are weaned off of it, never to consume again. Now that seems to be something important that nature is telling us. A time and season for everything.

And it doesn't even seem to be healthier, that's what gets me. It has more carbs and way more sodium. I'd be all in otherwise for healthier and tastier fast food. :-(

How is this article technology related? If we wanted to read about food we wouldn't come to a TECHNOLOGY site.. Just throwing it out there..

Don't you know you've been eating it for years? Always take the bridge, never the Tunnel!

Oh no, don't drink the water!
Fantastic news... I can't believe this killing of cows and eating animal flesh is still a thing, so prehistoric...
I would pick an impossible burger first... Well done Burger King, you are catching up

Dunno about this impossible burger, but beyond meat contains no soy or gluten..

Probably because it's considered as biotechnology.
Huh? A lot of people are saying it tastes really damn close to a real meaty burger. Why don't you give it a try? Are you too scared that it will turn you into a soyboy? Insecurity much?

The ingredients are terrible. Pea protein isolate, canola oil, cellulose, methylcellulose, potato starch, maltodextrin, vegetable glycerin, ascorbic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid , etc - for people who care about their health its hard to believe they would put this processed junk in their bellies.

Do you like Potato stew? Because all of the compounds listed above are found in home-made potato stew. So yes, I would happily try it out, if it weren't $7 for the sandwich alone..

I think that was the joke. Hence the wink at the very end there, haha.
Another additional ingredient that's probably also listed on there is hydrogen dioxide

Oh, the wink was from his signature. I mistook that for being part of the actual reply.

My family tried it. Overall, I came to the conclusion that if actual burgers were banned or went away, I'd be perfectly happy with the Beyond meat going forward if everybody else did. BUT when having the choice, the Beyond burger just lacked a bit of that flavor that everyone craves in an actual burger. It was close enough that if it was significantly cheaper, I'd probably switch too. With it the same price or higher than meat, I'm sorry but I'm not switching.

I've tried it too. It's not bad for what is effectively a veggie burger. You're right however, not exactly the same flavors. And given the caloric difference(lack thereof), not really worth it.
