The Impossible (Plant-Based) Burger

Before the “meat-eaters” jump down my throat for the cherry-picked comparison at left, let me admit that there are drawbacks to plant-based meat, especially that they are processed, which means they may contain additives, preservatives, and high levels of sodium.

Having said this, I urge readers to try one of these burgers, if only to find yourself amazed that they are virtually indistinguishable in taste from beef.

There are many reasons all this is important, of which kindness to animals is only one. The main point to be made here is that humankind’s demand for meat is driving the mass destruction of our rainforests, which in turn is heating up our oceans and atmosphere.
