Ouch!! Better modify those grills ASAP to provide a different cooking surface for the impossible foods.
And as a side note for Dunkin Donuts: The Impossible Sausage sandwich is doomed for failure. What a stupid move by Dunkin to add that crap to the menu.
Why is everyone so against Impossible foods? I'm a vegetarian and it's nice to have an option if I have to go to a fast food place.

I'm not a vegetarian, and I think Impossible foods are absolutely delicious. I've never met anyone who doesn't like them.

I'm not a vegetarian but I'm interested in non-meat alternatives at times, for several reasons.
Surprised how long it took for this to happen. Burger King is worth $7.1 billion and they put this legal liability on minimum wage workers.
Is there even a different bun for the Impossible Whoppers? Most buns use eggs as an ingredient, with some using butter/dairy.
Have you taken a moment and looked at the ingredients in these "impossible" foods? Do you really think they are better for you than real meat? Just the amount of salt alone is dangerous to your health, especially as you get older.

Agreed...natural is the best way to go. People should know that processed foods in general are less healthy especially when you get to processed vegetable products. Relatively speaking, processed meat is more nutritious in comparison with regular unprocessed meat than processed vegetable products are to whole vegetable products. You're better off eating a real whopper instead of an impossible one.

Give the man his $5.99 back and he can pay his court costs.
He ate a very marginal amount of meat (probably grease, tbh) and didn't die.
Get over yourself. Talk about stupidity.
Dude who is suing is an idiot. BK said from the beginning that they wouldn't use a different grill for the Impossible Whopper. They also never said it was vegan. Their website states that you can ask for it to be prepared on a meat free surface. If he's that worried, he should have asked.
I'm a vegetarian, love them, and don't care about the minute traces of stuff that are introduced during the cooking process.

Exactly! Though if I ever did find myself with no choice but BK, I would ask for the separate grill.
On the one hand, you would think it would always be prepared on a separate grill, but I'm guessing BK wanted the additional meat taste of the regular grill.
"The lawsuit says Burger King has no disclosures on its menu that would notify a consumer prior to the purchase of the Impossible Whopper that it was cooked in a manner that would result in meat by-products on the burger."
Idiots. Burger King is not advertising the Impossible Whopper to be a vegan option. Does Burger King next need label the gender identity of its Whoppers?
I keep to a vegan diet and I would never sue Burger King for a thing like this. This isn't some moral purity quest, if Burger King takes steps to reduce meat consumption/introduce middle America to a new food, that's good, period. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be in the right direction.

I really disagree. I expect no meat at all when I go to BURGER King.

If there's one thing that would make me one pile of junk food over another pile of junk food it would be the lack of trans fats, and the Impossible Whopper has none vs. 1.5 grams in the normal Whopper. Why does the normal Whopper have trans fats anyway?
Added bonus of the Impossible version is a little more fiber, to help slow the digestion of those 60 grams of sugar in the Coke, of course.

This is the worst argument ever. There's not a single vegan raising their hand saying "the impossible burger is sooooo healthy." They just want to be able to go to a fast food place and get a freaking burger and fries and not have an animal die in the process. A person who walks into Mickey D's and gets a burger and fries doesn't go there to "be healthy", they go there to get a quick, cheap meal. The reason non-meat eaters are so excited for this is the same reason, we can walk into a BK and grab a burger and fries on the cheap and slobber it down in the car. This isn't a cheer for health, it's a cheer for convenience.
I don't think it's the beginning of the end, but if it is, I thinks it's hilarious that it wasn't meat eating rednecks that killed it, but rather a militant vegan who felt it wasn't pure enough.
This sci-fi lab meat requires serum being removed from live cow fetuses after the mom is slaughtered. LAst laugh on the vegans- as usual their diet is based on torture and death, just like all the GMO soy and grains used to destroy entire ecosystems to keep their lifestyles "pure". Pure death is the hypocritical result.

I've been a vegan for 4 years. I recently tried the impossible whopper at BK. i knew it had traces of meat on it - i consumed it anyway. I understand that some vegans would care. Anyone who does care should not be buying their meal at BK. go to a vegan restaurant or make meals at home.
the impossible whopper is vegan junk food - not healthy at all. Anyone claiming it is healthy is delusional. As far as comparing to a regular beef whopper which is also junk food - i will not say if one is healthier than the other - both are junk. The basement dwelling nutritionists on this site can debate it.
BK has made no attempt to call the imp. whopper a vegan item. This guy and others like him are the reason everyone dislikes vegans. Just be quiet and eat whatever you choose to. I think most vegans share my point of view which is that if any major fast food/other restaurant wants to offer meatless options in place of meat it's better. If any vegan doesn't want to consume what that major chain is offering - then DON'T EAT IT!

Looks like there's an adult in the room.
I've tried an Impossible burger (not whopper, in a decent restaurant), and it pretty delicious. Price needs to go down though for mass consumption, right now it's more expensive than meat (which has a lot to do with subsidies and un-priced externalilties from meat consumption).
