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.
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).
And to fact that this processed soy slop is grown in lab.
Within 5 years it will be Impossible meat everywhere. Fast food is a' changing.

And it will still be junk...just more profitable. Fast food is like big government, always gets bigger while making you weaker.

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.
IF doesn't use FBS as far as I know.
You really don't know anything about food and/or nutrition but you love to blabber on here.

I'll add that there is about a 95% chance there will be major class-action lawsuits (I'm talking in the $Billions) within the next 5 years against this "Impossible" meat due to unintended side-effects of whatever these substances are that are simulating the meat taste. I for one will not be ingesting fake meat anytime soon, I'll let the rest of you be the test subjects on that stuff.
Umm, no. That is BS. You have no idea what you are talking about. They can literally take a cell from a chicken feather that has fallen off onto the ground and create meat that is identical from that one cell. This process can be replicated with other animals as well. Stop perpetuating idiocy. I have attended Harvard conferences on "clean meat" which will be the future. In the meantime, enjoy the fecal matter that is present in most of the meat you purchase.

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.
Because not killing animals is all about.........salt???
When are they going to make meat looks and taste like vegetables? I'm on a paleo diet & miss all of those vegetables

You're free to eat all the vegetables you want if you miss them so much.

So you are saying vegans are vegans not for nutrition and health, but to stop killing animals? My, oh my, isn't that an interesting observation of the insanity of today's world.

You are claiming they aren't using fetal bovine stem cells? How far are you willing to take your lie?
Anyone who thinks vegan is healthy is delusional.

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!
I like your common sense approach to this issue. Wish there were more around like you.
Thanks!
I think this is more an indicator that our rate of livestock reproduction is being outpaced by the demand for livestock meat. We can't grow enough cows and chickens at a rate good enough to sustain the current and expected human populations.

My gut feeling tells me that this will do poorly:

Key quote. As I said two replies back, sustainability is the issue. Our livestock cannot be sustained at the current rate of meat consumption. A key benefit of the Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty is that it is more sustainable for the environment than traditional meats as it requires less water, less land, generates fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and requires less energy than a beef burger to produce.

Just to be clear, Del taco's impossible taco is actually revolting. I've tried it a few times, hoping it was just a one-off. I don't know what they do to their version of impossible meat, but it's horrible. Their regular meats are so much better (but are still terrible).
I've wanted to try BK's impossible whopper, but man, DT scared me off.

Give it a shot.
Lots of places aren't grilling/browning their impossible/beyond products and instead just cook it without giving it any colour. :( Kinda dumb as thats the whole point of it. That's prbly why your taco sucked a$$ or maybe they just put chipotle on it or something.
Meat does indeed have transfats it. Thats why the regular whopper has transfats. It also has cholesterol and saturated fats and all the lovely wastes and hormones that occur naturally in mammals. Yummy! I love it when the bodily fluids run down my chin. ?
And YMMV, diet of death??? Lol
