> Animals don’t have to be slaughtered to enjoy a hamburger if it’s an Impossible burger. I realize this is a bit extreme of a characterization, but this argument doesn't sit right with me at all. It sounds like 'I'm only willing to change my habits to reduce animal cruelty and help the environment if an alternative that tastes exactly like meat exists. Otherwise, what can possibly be done?!' If you are really concerned about those things, whether the Impossible Burger exists or not should not make a difference. There are plenty of delicious vegetable burgers that already exist. They just taste like the ingredients they are made of (beans, mushrooms, etc.) and not a faux replica of meat.
