Also for those interested, I believe these are vegan patties, whereas Impossible aren't vegan (they chose to test on animals for profit).
Not sure about the rest of the burger..
How did they test on animals? Feed them the burgers through the r&d progress or inject them with something related?
They fed soy leghemoglobin to rats to make sure it was safe to eat. They already knew it was safe to eat but they needed to document it so all they really did was feed plants to rats several years ago.
v2 didn't have to do any testing because their product doesn't have anything new, all the components have already been tested by other companies who developed them.
@Plankton: Thanks. At first glance i saw the funny side of it - feeding the patties to cows - but wondered if there really was something really going on.
@Plankton: The rats didn't just get fed.
They were killed and their bodies sliced open and analysed.
They likely had a pretty unhappy, short life.
@Vampyr: Ah ok I had never heard that part. Even though other fake meat companies are using ingredients that were tested in the same way that's definitely different than the company actually organising for it to happen. Personally I don't care about animal welfare so they could murder rats for fun and I'd still eat their burgers.
Interesting, taste wise is impossible > beyond > V2 personally.
Well I generally make decisions on:
Ethics > taste.
…and I love food.
Well aren't you just a very good boy (and love telling everyone about it).
@Bdawg: I'm anoying people to try to get them to think about their choices.
I don't enjoy this at all.
This isn't about me, it's about the lovely creatures that are being treated terribly every day.
What are your chips made from?
Least my chips are predictable and upfront about what they are. And not some tryhard imitation concoction of fk-knows-what
So don't eat it? Why the emotional response?
Could it be that you have supressed your feelings about consuming animals?
Sometimes we have difficult feelings. It is okay to dwell on them. You don't have to put something down because it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Edit: can't spell.
Eating animals is the natural order. Meat is filled with good proteins, vitamins, fats and TASTE. A taste the likes of which this industrial abomination could never come close to.
What bothers me in particular about these "plant based" meat substitutes is that many of the people who eat them have this delusion that they should replace meat entirely in the name of sAvInG tHe EnViRoNmEnT, usually quoting random stats without proper context like the whole "1000 litres of water to make a patty" (hmmm what is rain? What is the water cycle?)
And when intelligent aliens come along and farm us, use our women to produce milk and force us to mate and eat our tender children, that will be the natural order.
It was previously necessary to eat meat. It is no longer necessary.
If we don't need animal products, but we just enjoy them (eg. "TASTE' as you state above), then we are enslaving and killing animals for our enjoyment.
Ethically, I do not agree with that.
I wasn't always like this, but I'd never go back.
Good luck on your journey and be kind to yourself.
@Vampyr: Ah yes, what a normal and healthy thing to be daydreaming about. (Speaks a fair bit about the mind of a vegan).
You go ahead and enjoy your vitamin B12 deficiencies. I'll keep at it with the steaks.
I'll leave you to it.

What an outrageous proposition
@Techie4066: Not the proposition that's the issue, but the fact that vegos actually think it's what they're doing when eating this trash

I prefer the taste of these V2 burgers over the impossible burgers they sell at grilld.
