What are plant-based burgers, such as the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, actually made of?

Dr. Frank Mitloehner, professor at the University of California-Davis, was a guest on AgriTalk last week where he shared about his recent discussion comparing the ingredients of plant-based meat alternatives to high-end dog food.

“When you look at Impossible Burger or Beyond Meat, they have 21 or 22 highly processed ingredients. So processed, that you are hard pressed in identifying the difference between those items, versus let’s say, pet food.”

Mitloehner explained to AgriTalk host Chip Flory that this is something that many consumers aren’t aware of, and when given the opportunity, aren’t able to distinguish the difference between the burgers and dog food. Mitloehner took to Twitter to further this point.

“Within 24 hours, I had 100,000 people trying to answer that trivia question as to which one of the three is the dog food. The vast majority of the people had it wrong. I find that very interesting,” he says.

I wanna get me some meat-based kale.

[Bonescreek]

If you had some "meat based kale" ..
What would you do with it ?

Re-cap a tire ?

Patch the leak in the roof ?

Spread it on the ground around back to keep flies and mosquiteos at bay ?

4thredneck just showed us a preview of 2020 McDonalds Vegie Burgers.

Oh' Patty's at McDonalds meat free. First 100 served get a free toy gift
of rubber knee high "Clod Hopper Boots" to cormemorate the event.

[Bonescreek]

Now that I think about it, that cow pie looks a whole lot like
the same McDonalds burger I saw back in 1972 only it was much
smaller and sat on a sesame seed bun.

Like the old saying goes; plants aren't food, it is what food eats.

For giggles last week I went into an A&W an ordered a 'Beyond Meat' burger but I asked them to hold the lettuce and tomato and add bacon.
The order take didn't act in the least surprised.

You might wanna check the ingredients before you try one.

When a lab will not eat it it's not food. labs eat anything and everything.

Can ya get mushrooms on top? Had someone tell me we have too much meat in our diet. I prefer most but not all of my veggies raw. So it being plant based one should be able to just sauce it up and chew no cooking involved.

And they are the first thing you see on the website when looking at product details.

At A&W, on the promo posters. That's what my post was about. Not sure what box you're talking about.

Look around you and it’s obvious people have to much carbs in their diet and not meat. Lol

It’s getting ridiculous...

Beyond Meat: Lead free!

It is like SPRITE contains NO CHOLESTEROL but 3 heaping tablespoons of sugar, DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold the pattie and triple up the Bacon.

That is the funny part. A straight up hamburger is far healthier that that overly processed veggie mulch.

The other funny thing is to grow veggies you need to remove all other plants from the field and remove any animal that would eat the crop.

To maximize yield you need to use pesticides and herbicides.

Last I looked in the foothills...cows are roaming around with all the plants and animals together.
