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:
- US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says
- 2 states where home prices are falling because there are too many houses and not enough buyers
- A couple accidentally shipped their cat in an Amazon return package. It arrived safely 6 days later, hundreds of miles away.
- Why did a NASA spacecraft suddenly start talking gibberish after more than 45 years of operation? What fixed it?
- ICICI Bank shares climb nearly 5% after Q4 earnings; mcap soars by ₹36,555.4 crore
- Markets rebound sharply on buying in bank stocks firm global trends
- Bengaluru's rental income highest in Q1-2024, Mumbai next: Anarock report
