The Genetically Engineered Impossible Burger And The Story Behind It

Ketra — Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:24:02 GMT

Yuck! A Frankenburger! You couldn’t pay me to eat that lab created junk. FDA approved. Yep, that makes me feel safe. I wish I could track the health of someone eating these for 10 years.

I tried the Impossible burger from Burger King.

It wasn't too bad.

I might have it again, maybe.

I'd rather have a Gardenburger or a Black bean burger.

@LizzieInSRQ I would definitely eat a non-GMO, organic,

black bean burger, but none of this lab created fake food.

It doesn't matter how good tasting it is to me. It could taste like the best and most expensive beef in the world and I still wouldn't eat it. It's science project. It's genetically engineered faux food that could present health issues down the road that no one has even thought about. There's no reason for me to eat it....so I won't.

I tried the impossible burger from Burger King and it was ok. My husband threw his in the trash. We got one Whopper and one Impossible burger to split just in case we didn’t like it. Would I buy it again. Probably not. I would rather have the real thing.

The soy being used to make meatless products is

most likely the same soy used to feed livestock for

meat/dairy/egg.

@sidsmom Read the article by the manufacturing company (link below). It is not. This was developed specifically for the Impossible Burger.

@Ketra

There is no chance I’ll ever try that. I only eat real food. No wonder the world is full of sick people.

@Ketra

Right.

Heme from soy plants.

And soy is fed to animals so indirectly non-vegans are eating soy.

I don't see anything wrong with such choices.

I'm all for meatless alternatives, but a soy and oil burger is just not something I care to eat.

”A STRINGENT RAT FEEDING STUDY”

“GENETICALLY MODIFIED YEAST”

That’s what the makers are proud of. I’m so grossed out now. Genetically modified yeast! I don’t want to eat plants that bleed. Bad enough the alternative is dead cow. I’m going to be a breathatarian (breatharian).

No thanks.

Genetically engineered says it all.

I would rather eat a real burger once a year than a genetically engineered frankenfood burger any day.

After severe food poisoning from a salad eaten at Burger King, I wouldn’t eat anything from the place...ugh.

@sidsmom Yes, the heme molecule is extracted from soy and genetically modified. Yes, most of our food now is genetically modified, except for some organic and we can’t even be sure of that right now. I don’t ever remember my voting yes to these creepy scientist genetically modifying my food. They over-stepped their bounds years ago and now we’re just starting to pay for it.

I wonder if it's extruded, or even extrusable. Yum. Extrusile fermented plant heme.
