I tried the plant-based meat that Google wanted to buy and I never want to eat a 'real' hamburger again
Environmentalists have described beef consumption as the "new SUV" for its effects on climate change, and I've heard the horror stories about livestock mistreatment.
But ... every so often I still find myself caving to the craving for a juicy cheeseburger or beef burrito.
That's why Impossible Food's mission struck me immediately.
"We're making meat for uncompromising meat lovers, but with a fraction of the environmental impact," founder Patrick Brown explained on stage at Vox Media's recent Code Conference.
The secret: Plant burgers that look, smell, sizzle, and taste like beef.
So can these patties really replace the real thing, especially for someone who enjoys meat? Here's what I found in my first taste test:
- I quit McKinsey after 1.5 years. I was making over $200k but my mental health was shattered.
- Some Tesla factory workers realized they were laid off when security scanned their badges and sent them back on shuttles, sources say
- I tutor the children of some of Dubai's richest people. One of them paid me $3,000 to do his homework.
- Why are so many elite coaches moving to Western countries?
- Global GDP to face a 19% decline by 2050 due to climate change, study projects
