I haven't tried Impossible Foods yet, but I have been dabbling with Beyond Meat (both companies backed by Bill Gates apparently).
In case anyone is curious about this product category, here are my thoughts on Beyond Meat:
Beyond Meat has a normal burger replacement. Other than the factory-formed shape (easy to fix I'd think), the texture and taste approach the real thing. It probably wouldn't pass a blind test and it's expensive, but if they got the cost down and In-n-out started cooking with it I could see myself preferring it.
They also have a healthier burger (Beast). This one's not trying to be as convincing and isn't going to convert any carnivores. I don't really recommend it unless you must eat something healthy in patty form.
Then there's the Beefy Crumble. This is a ground beef substitute that isn't in patty form. It's on the healthy side and isn't going to fool anyone either, but I use it all the time as it's nice to have another protein in the rotation (all the Beyond stuff uses pea protein). Easy to throw into burritos or pasta.
Looking forward to the future of this space.
