2019-04-01 | Behold the Beefless ‘Impossible Whopper’ - The New York Times
'White Castle has sold a slider version of the Impossible burger in its 380 or so stores since late last year. '
'This week, Burger King is introducing a version of its iconic Whopper sandwich filled with a vegetarian patty from the start-up Impossible Foods. '
'OAKLAND, Calif. — Would you like that Whopper with or without beef?'
'The Impossible Whopper, as it will be known, is the biggest validation — and expansion opportunity — for a young industry that is looking to mimic and replace meat with plant-based alternatives. '
'The vegetarian burger made by Beyond Meat has been available at over a thousand Carl’s Jr. restaurants since January and the company is now moving toward an initial public offering. '

This is going to lead to them outlawing natural meat for citizens while the upper class and elite continue to farm real meat for themselves.

I went to a burger place while I was visiting New York and ordered an impossible burger. I didn't know what it was and thought it was just a name for a specialty burger and it was... ok. I thought there was something off with the texture of the burger but I thought it might just be under cooked I didn't think it was a vegi burger.

I went in last week to try it, they acted like I was nuts and no such thing existed despite the fact that BK was running national commercials for weeks about it.

I doubt that normal Whoppers contain any real meat either, haha.
