Күн бұрын"I fool people all the time" says cook David Chang. It might not convince everyone, but let's take a look at the science that makes 'the veggie burger that bleeds' so much like meat.

I don't understand why some vegans are so against this.. Nobody's forcing you to eat this. It looks and tastes remarkably like actual beef which is AMAZING considering it's plant-based. I'd never eat it but if it stops some people from eating red meat, we should support it! It might not be the _healthiest_ but if it's eaten every once in a while, it shouldn't be a problem. Ethically and environmentally, it's obviously much better than red meat.
@theveganape 7 жыл бұрын
Because a lot of vegans are motivated by their self-image of being in an exclusive club, and they don't want to see veganism grow because their self-image will be weakened. I for one don't care what brings people to veganism, I just want to see it grow, and this burger will help, so I support it, even if I wouldn't eat it myself!

***** I couldn't agree more with you. Too much ego and selfishness in this world. It's great to take care of yourself but not to be motivated purely out of self interest. We can think about our own best interests while also making conscious decisions that will benefit others, human and non-human.

I would definitely try it! Regardless of whether vegans/vegetarians would or wouldn't try it we have to acknowledge it is an advancement toward decreasing meat consumption in the population. Considering the average person doesn't have the discipline to downsize their coke (my friends observation), this is a big POSITIVE.

I have issues with restriction and have orthorexia. I am now giving in to my cravings, but with the filter that I must not eat animal products (I am vegan). I have to say thank you to these replacement products as they help me to not restrict and go into that horrible mindset again (good/bad food). Although I'm aware it hurts me long term, restriction leads to me being suicid@l short term, which is problematic. It's complicated for certain people (me a part of them) and we need replacements.

I've had the impossible burger and I like it. It's a way better option than eating actual meat. Of course I cooked mine longer than recommended because I never liked rare hamburgers when I did eat them. And I also flatten out the patties because I don't like thick hamburgers. The fake "blood" didn't entice me to eat this (ewww), I just wanted a fake burger.

I agree. It has a different flavor than meat, but besides the similar texture, it also has umami type of flavor. I use mushrooms as a replacement for meat with most of my dinners at home, and as my meat alternative at vegan restaurants. I also eat legumes (etc.) for protein. Back when I ate meat, the ideal texture would have been like large, cooked mushrooms. Obviously, much better for you than veggie burgers.

I will advocate it to all my carnist friends when it goes mainstream. All vegans should support this product wholeheartedly.

So in this regard, though I would not resort to it often, it might be a good alternative for a restaurant to be serving so that at least there would be more to eat as a vegan in a desert of food choices at most restaurants. How does it stack up to Beyond Burger in taste as well as nutrition?

We will try them. My husband still eats some meat and one of the hardest foods for him to give up is burgers. This replacement could make a drastic difference in his meat consumption.

The biggest question for me is how much does it cost to produce and to buy. I think that will be the deciding factor in how popular this will become.

Just looked it up. Apparently it costs $20 to produce one impossible burger compared to just $2 for a beef burger. So it looks like it has a long ways to go before it becomes a viable alternative.

Hi Mic, question for u, I came off of low carb after losing 80 lbs and for ethical reasons switched to a starch based vegan diet and have gained 31 lbs in three months! Also my triglycerides are very high at 242. My holistic dr said i am insulin resistant and need to b on a gluten free, low carb, moderate protein, high healthy fat diet and that I should have at least a small amount of chicken, eggs or fish. I'm ready to pull my hair out, so much conflicting information. I'm having the NutrEval as well as numerous other tests later this month so recommendations may change. I know you're not a Dr but I respect your opinion. Do u have any thoughts or recommendations as far as what I should fire back at this Dr? I have no problem arguing with her lol 😉

While the impossible burger is hard to find, beyond meat burger is so so good for all the same reasons and it's much more common in grocery stores.

How do you feel about the Heme from plants in large amounts like in this burger? Does it not carry the same health risks related to cancer?
@MictheVegan 7 жыл бұрын
It seems that the main difference between leghemoglobin and hemoglobin is their ability to carry oxygen. They both have heme iron which makes them red. There is no reason to believe it wouldn't have the same health effects. In fact, since leghemoglobin is better at carrying oxygen it might be more reactive. Can't say for sure.

So what's the purpose here? To have something as healthy as an organic piece of fruit? Or to find a way to stop using billions of animals to turn them into "food" products? I don't get this selfish obsession with health if someone wants to eat something that closely duplicates the taste of a corpse. It's a million times more ethical than meat -- is what you should be concerned about and thus should be supported.

Gave it a try. The flavor mimics beef closer than any other fake meat I have tried. Now that I know about the ingredients and the process from watching this video, I don't think I'll make a habbit out eating this on a regular bassis

Vegan food scientist here. This burger is definitely the most similar meat replacement I have ever tried. Those who fall under the category of "meat lovers" still aren't on board with it and do not like the small sensory difference, whether that is mentally or a real taste perception decision. But, small steps are better than nothing!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this genetically modified "impossible burger" is likely to be extremely expensive, thus probably not ideal for most people.

For what it's worth, one of their main goals in affordability. I don't see that happening in the next year though.

Most innovative things replacing anything massively popular start off extremely expensive, but as their popularity rises and the demand for them increases, they come down drastically in price. Especially since, as Mic. says, their ultimate goal is affordability. Although too "real" tasting for ethical vegans, anyone wanting to see slaughterhouses shut down should promote this product to every single "meat-eater" they know.

Lone Wolf Vegan Warrior I'd eat it if it was both affordable and available. I'd like to see the impossible burger become a thing. But would it replace everything else meaty that I enjoy, such as barbecue? Probably not. It seems like its only good for mimicking ground beef.

crazitaco If people make this popular by supporting it then believe me you will see all sorts of competitors popping up for every product imaginable. It's how the non-dairy milks and cheezes have come to proliferate the market; this will be the same. And if you want to stop those cravings for enjoying "meaty" things I'd suggest watching Earthlings. It's a real effective eye-opener for meat-eaters....

Lone Wolf Vegan Warrior I don't want to suppress my enjoyment of meat. I love barbecue, and appreciate it as a culinary art. I love all the work that goes into creating a perfect steak, or a tempting, slow-cooked smoked brisket. I just think it would be better to make slaughterhouses less cruel, is all I'm saying. I don't object to killing properly raised animals for food, just to the horrid living conditions the animals go through in this day and age, all because our population is growing more and more unsustainable. Eating animals went from killing the family pig you had been raising for a Christmas meal, to a factory-like mass production of meat.
