I don't think that I am touting an ideology. I am reporting on something that is new (or kind of new) that is at the intersection of biotechnology and dining. We all have to eat. I could have waited until I've had a chance to try an Impossible Burger myself, but it might be another week or 10 days before that happens. It's not a supermarket or grocery store product, and i wouldn't expect to find it on the menu except at the relatively limited locations that are listed on their website. (See my previous posts... must see my previous posts... )
Maybe someone here who thinks they might like it will "beat me to it." As far as trying one. There are locations in about a dozen or so different metropolitan areas in a few different states. This is a possibility that would not even exist, if it were not for my ReportHereBeforeEatOneMyself attitude.
I've seen many a news report on the theme that a beef burger has a larger greenhouse emissions footprint than any of the vegan or vegetarian substitutes. This can (and should be) revisited when (or if) the Impossible Burger is ready to transition from its current startup phase into large scale production. And why wouldn't it be revisited?
To produce a side-by-side comparison of the two products in terms of water, crop acreage, land allocations for grazing or pasturing of beef cattle, the energy requirements for every process in the chain that puts either a beef burger on a plate or an Impossible Burger on a plate. It's all about the metrics. It will be the work of the Department of Agriculture, and most likely involve research grants or contracts with universities that have Agriculture or Biotechnology departments.
Because, in the words of the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, it's our historic responsibility to "make the planet great again."[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-09-2017).]

I think you are right...
They are trying to deny the red blood to every single red-blooded North American !!!!!!
Its a leftie-commie-progressive plot to feminize and eliminate us !!!! 
(Either that, or part of some secret war against the vampires.)

... intersection of biotechnology and dining.
Your thinking skills are suspect. Vegan biotechnology ? Damn. The last I heard I was supposed to eat organic,  .
You are reporting ? You have not even eaten one ? Let me fix that for you.

Has anyone eaten a bloody vegan burger ? |

Insert your limited information. Taste one and report. Get the opinions of others. Give us your opinion, but you have none. You are regurgitating an ideology. We are not fooled.

It should be revisited. Because the vegan burger footprint is dwarfed by the preferred beef preference. Yet, for some reason, some people think we shouldn't like real beef burgers, and yet again, they want us to eat a vegan burger that tastes like a beef burger.
I don't want a beef burger today. I want steak. Will I be able to use my Vegan knife ?
Ok, let me try to understand you. You can make my vegan bleed. Maybe. What does it taste like ? What vegetable is it made from ?
A vegan burger is a salad. Do they make a vegan hotdog ? I used to not like liver. Do they make vegan liver. Chicken gizzards are good too. Do they make vegan oysters ?
We could sell vegan dog meat to North Korea.
Let me know how it tastes, if you ever eat one.
Oh, are these vegan burgers cooked, or are they like sushi ? Imagine. How much more global footprint can we remove if we don't have to cook.

Really, ? We need the government and all their studies which support what the government wants, ?
You need to up your meds.

Emmanuel Macron ? Did we vote for him ? The planet was not made great by America ?

I actually had a vegan hotdog once. I could not even eat it.

Your coming across here, Cliff (W), as not fully vested in the free market aspects of our economy. If the idea of trying an Impossible Burger doesn't appeal to you, that's great. It's your unalienable right not to be open to the possibility of trying one, yourself.
But that begs the question, why are you trying to make my little "show and tell" about it into a "negative"..?
It's your unalienable right not to be open to the possibility of trying one, yourself. It's your unalienable right not to accept the veracity of the idea that an Impossible Burger is considerably less of an imposition on Earth's climate and natural resources than a traditional (beef) burger.
In what way have I transgressed against any of your unalienable rights?
And if there's been no transgression against your unalienable rights on my part, then how would you or anyone else explain the kind of "negative" (almost churlish) temperament of your conversation here?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-09-2017).]
