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?

IMO beyond meat tastes more like junk food than actual burgers. What I really want is cheap, mass-produced, frozen bean burgers that I can buy in a big bag like chicken patties. We've long had the technology to do it. Sysco and other restaurant suppliers have it. But for some reason frozen bean burgers must remain a bougie luxury good. There's gotta be some Boca-Beef conspiracy to keep the cheap shit off the shelves.

I think Costco sells 12 packs of been burger patties in the $10 range.
