Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?

I haven't had one in a while.

I like to have everything homemade, especially because it's cheaper that way (also, see the other points about Impossible testing on rats and whatnot), but I just haven't really thought to do any kind of burgers. If I were more financially stable and all that, I might be willing to order things like TVP and VWG in bulk to do so. Maybe later some day, but most of what I eat is stuff like beans and pasta.

Made these hot dogs out of tofu, though!
