Faux meat burgers might not have all the health benefits you might think

If you're looking for a vegetarian burger instead of a beef-based burger, you're in luck these days. Two popular options include the Impossible Burger, in over 5,000 restaurants in the United States, Hong Kong, Macao, and Singapore, and the Beyond Burger, available at more than 35,000 locations, including the meat aisles in supermarkets.

These burgers are the makings of food chemistry at its finest, and include ingredients that attempt to mimic the flavor, aroma and even the"bleeding" color of meat. .

Personally, if I want a plant-based burger, I want a really delicious veggie patty -- not one with fake"blood," but one that is comprised of real vegetables and tastes totally different from a burger made from meat. Like LT Burger's veggie burger, which has beets, brown rice, red pepper, quinoa, black beans and jalapeño, and topped with wheatgrass, tomato, onion, avocado and sprouts.

Let me understand: plant-based burgers are lower in calories, cholesterol and fat. They’re not made from slaughter house and factory farm cruelty. They are readily available. They are high in protein. They taste delicious according to carnivores. But umm... huh?

Yes, how many additives to make it palatable ? Just eat the real thing.

You’ve spent the past two weeks telling how great these are, and now they’re not?

They taste like shit

this title is incredibly misleading, please do better. no, they’re not the same as eating a carrot, but they’re MUCH better for you than any animal protein, infinitely better for the environment, & you don’t need to kill an innocent animal to eat one. EAT PLANT BASED EVERYTHING

It is important to control the ingredients well before eating. I hope that veggie burgers of good quality and free of chemicals and transgenes are or will be offered. 🤔

They are amazing! Not sure why CNN is peddling for the Beef industry but Beyond Burgers are healthier than beef and delicious AF. Try them. I'm not vegetarian or vegan and my family loves them. I can't eat red meat so these were a great alternative.

Eat less meat. Ok here’s a plant based burger. Wait a second...this tastes like meat! We don’t want you to actually enjoy eating plants! We want you to be miserable to atone for years of eating meat.

Only Libs eat faux burgers.

Honestly. I expect more from cnn than this click bait bullshit. Stop misrepresenting shit in your headlines when you know damn good and well no one is going to click to actually read the article or worse, in hopes they do.

The meat industry paid this post ?

Better than the corn-syrup laden, over-processed grain filled selections available now.

It’s an ultra processed food. No thanks.

😝

The initial cost might be a little offputting too. Is the world ready for the $10,000 dollar Big Macless?
