OT: Burger King TO TEST MARKET THE IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER

[vincenz]

My question is if they can scale it up to be as cheap as beef.

Another thing people forget/are oblivious to is how subsidized the agri-food business is in NA. It is an incredibly inefficient means of production, including land use, water use, caloric loss, environmental contamination, etc. If the true costs of producing beef were passed on to the end consumer, it should cost like $100 for a hamburger.

"If the true costs of producing beef were passed on to the end consumer, it should cost like $100 for a hamburger."

$100 for a burger? Is that in Canadian or Monopoly dollars?

Oh for sure. Makes me believe this stuff won’t catch on on a large scale. How many pockets are currently lined to get you that $2.99 per lb package of beef.

If this stuff really does look, smell, and taste like the real deal, there should be no reason NOT to eat it, other than if you have soy allergies or something.

I look forward to trying this.
