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?

You can make a decent high protein chickpea burger at home but sometimes it would be nice to be able to just buy the darn things, but for some reason it's either Boca Flavorless Hockey Pucks or Dr. Kale's Kale Discs, Now With Extra Kale; no we refuse to consider other ingredients now please pay $12 meow-tableflip

If I'm going to spend an afternoon cooking a bunch of food its going to be something better than frozen burgers. Like I'd rather make flafels than chickpea burgers. The point of a frozen burger is being lazy AF.
