Beyond meat testing in McDonald's

Canadians are clueless. Go far enough and they eat yellow snow.

I tried the White Castle Impossible slider again

Still sucked. Bad.

And why can't White Castle have a clean restaurant?

Even on its best day, White Castle is garbage

I just had my first impossible whopper. I really liked it. First thing from BK that I can say that about in the past 20 years.

Their goal is for this to taste as good as the regular Whopper so I'm assuming you haven't had a Whopper for 20 yrs then??

LOL. I'd rather take the word of a guy who eats at BK weekly. You know, a whopper connoisseur.

What did you pay for it?

 

[KnappShack]

What did you pay for it?

I would pay extra for it if the taste was close.

No doubt.

What did you pay for it?

My credit card says I paid $8.79 for a small combo. Not sure what the Whopper combo is normally as I haven't bought one in years. I subbed the onion rings for fries, not sure if that was an upcharge or not.

Think the sandwich itself is around $6 or so. Not trying it until they start dishing out coupons.

It’s $1 more than the regular Whopper. It’s also arguably less healthy, with more sodium and nearly identical calories. So if you’re vegan or vegetarian you’ve got an option, but otherwise I am sticking with beef. (Ground beef isn’t even an environmental ill, since it’s whats left over from other beef and dairy production.)

Compared to people eating diets rich in white meat or plant-based protein, those who ate a diet rich in red meat had triple the levels of a chemical linked to heart disease.

Already they have been met with fierce criticism by public health researchers. The American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and other groups have savaged the findings and the journal that published them.

Dr. Frank Sacks, past chair of the American Heart Association’s nutrition committee, called the research “fatally flawed.”

Why does it have to be healthy? We live in a world of fried Twinkies and double bacon cheeseburgers and Funyuns. Just because something is a meat alternative doesn't mean it has to be healthy. It's Burger King for crying out loud. If you are super health conscious, you shouldn't be eating there anyway.

Maybe it's already been discussed in this thread but as I understood it the impossible burger and the like have less to do with health and more to do with the environment and resources - the point is to reduce meat production and consumption.
Any burger - beef, bean, soy, whatever - is probably never going to be the healthiest diet choice.

If you are in between trying to eat healthy or taking care of yourself, the french toast sticks are really good for breakfast.
