Where's The Beef?

[Son of Butch]

Burger King is introducing their new Impossible Burger... 100% Whopper 0% beef.
Currently it is only available in St Louis, but perhaps coming to a Burger King near you?

The patty consists of soy protein, potato protein, coconut oil, sunflower oil and heme.
Heme is soy protein dna inserted into genetically modified yeast to mimic the flavor of beef.

I'll pass.

I'll pass as well, and will pass BK from now on out whether they serve the phony beef or not.
Poor decisions should have consequences.

 

[Son of Butch]

It'll be interesting to see if there is a price difference.
Unless it's made known on the menu the 0% beef option uses gmo soybeans and genetically
modified yeast, I think many who would normally pass will choose it thinking they are getting
an upgraded healthier option.

According to this story, the FDA hasn't given their blessing for the impossible burger. There is an ingredient that Impossible Foods is using that they say is safe, but the FDA does not agree with their statement.

From some other checking, Impossible Foods has products in other restaurant operations too!

Vegans will rejoice until they think about the cheese and mayo on that Impossible Whopper.

No thanks!

I don't do BK very often anyway but for sure my shadow won't darken their door again. This fake food deal is getting plum crazy.

Hard pass!

Idiot announcer on XM Prime Country just threw a pitch for it and told people to go try it out. Every one should blow up his Twitter and other social media accounts for that.

Modern country music pushing fake hamburger meat... :bang:

Sounds like a last ditch effort to save the remaining stores they have left, because alot have been closing down.
