What about the other 95% of people you know who aren't vegetarians because they like meat a lot?
> Second: When I tasted an Impossible Burger, it was awful. It tasted like a horrible veggie burger.
Haven't had one myself, but the friends I've heard from (largely not vegetarians) have liked it better than that. Reserving judgement until I can get one.
> I personally reduced my meat consumption for environmental and health reasons, but when I want a burger, I get a burger.
It sounds like you're disagreeing with your own first point. "So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb," but (supposing they'd actually pulled that off) you're exactly the market who would eat it. Likes meat, wants a burger, reducing meat consumption for environmental and health reasons. Doesn't sound dumb to me.
- gwbas1c 8y agoGo try a good veggie burger. They've been around a lot longer then the impossible burger, and taste a lot better.
- sokoloff 8y agoAny specific product/brand recommendations? I've tried several and all were underwhelming (or worse).
- wlesieutre 8y agoI've had a lot of veggie burgers, my main problem with them is the lack of structure. If they're more than like 1/4" thick you try to take a bite and the whole thing squishes out the sides of the bun. Personal favorite veggie-protein-patty is morningstar's "buffalo chik," which aren't really that chicken-like but taste good and have enough structure to stay together while you eat them.
