Speaking from personal experience, I've been eating a lot more plant-based meals now that Beyond and Impossible Beef are available in grocery stores. I wouldn't say I'm completely vegetarian but I'm 60% there.

I think that's a very positive step. We don't need everyone to turn vegan to flight climate change. We only need everyone to consume significantly less meat.

You can describe this as a semi-vegetarianism or flexitarian diet.

  Or, you know, just a regular diet.

    ...regular to who?

  Maybe you could make up a scientific classification for this: maybe pick some appropriate latin like "omnivorous"?</joke>

I was so excited about the Impossible Burger at Burger King. But I made the mistake of ordering it and a regular Whopper for comparison. I tried the Impossible Burger and thought wow, this is amazingly delicious. Then I took a bite of a Whopper and realized that the Impossible Burger will never be able to replace this. You could make the world's best vegetarian burger and some discount meat from the local dollar store would still taste better.

  the Impossible Burger will never be able to replace this Impossible Foods is only 8 years old, and look how far they've already come.

  Thts the thing I just can't compare vegetarian food with meat food they are two different things. Sometimes I will eat the meat burger sometimes a veggie pattie just depends on what I am in the mood for.

  I have not had that experience. Impossible Whopper has been amazing to me. Additionally, Burger King definitely doesn't make the best Impossible Burger (and not every Impossible Whopper tastes the same--like regular burgers, there's slight variation in quality depending on who is at the grill). I had it at a local restaurant, and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had.
