I looked up a comparison.[1] It seems that the only potential issue with an impossible burger is much more sodium. On the other hand, it actually contains fiber(3 grams). Apparently, Impossible meat are fortified with micronutrient as well. Correct me if I am wrong, but the problem with ultra processed food is not the processing per se, but the poor nutritional profiles. 1. https://www.cnet.com/health/nutrition/is-the-impossible-burger-healthier-than-beef/ https://www.cnet.com/health/nutrition/is-the-impossible-burg...

I wanted to find some views on the the impossible/beyond GMO meat substitutes vs organic, grass-fed, which many contend is the gold standard for healthy meat, not regular feedlot / grain raised beef. Found a number of different perspectives [1], [2], [3] [4] [5] Most alarming was the presence of GMO, and soy & glyphosate connection alleged by testing from Moms Across America [6] found in both varieties (They are anti-GMO and anti-vaxx in the pre-covid term, using the original vaccine defintion). A vegan response by The Reasoned Vegan to these allegations and testing can be found at [7] which raised questions about the overblown testing hyperbole by Moms Across America. Consequently, I don't have a strong opinion on the veracity of the testing. However, given my biases towards organic, grass-fed and away from both soy, GMO, and feedlot/grain cattle, the Chiropractor Dr. Pompa best captured a nuanced view with which I concur. [8] I say this because I've known many vegans, and the one I dated expressed concerns around the negative implications of a heavy soy diet that led to her to cut out all soy, and head more towards a raw food diet.
