Anyone try the Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger? (683 views)

thanks Wallycat.

yes, I did post this a little while ago, so I'll copy it here since I haven't learned anything   since then.  CR is not accessible unless  you are a member, I get the magazine but not online access. 

posted by me a few weeks ago on another thread in this forum: 
"There's a pretty extensive article on new processed meat like vegie burgers. Consumer Reports October 2019. they talk about soy leghemoglobin ( no never heard of it before either) , a compound from the roots of the soybean plant being used to give burgers their "meaty" taste and texture. the soy leghemoglobin is inserted into a genetically engineered yeast called pichia pastoris, and the final compound is produced in large quantities. you could pick up a copy of the magazine if you want to read it, several page article. this stuff is really processed!



I don't like or eat meat. I tasted a version of this kind of burger a few months ago, thought it was inedible and tossed it. I don't eat red meat so anything that mimics it will not be a big hit here. I was ovo lacto vegie for 30+ years, now eat a little chicken/fish too. time will tell whether this a good alternative to meat, but it is definitely not for me. you should read about how its produced and the plus/minus factors".
