I've tried it. It's good. At $16 a pound I'd much rather get some high quality meat or fish. If it comes down in price to something reasonable I might add it to our rotation.

When did I say this was a 100% soy burger? > Those labels are because the compounds could trigger a soy allergy ...because it contains soy, which has negative effects on fertility. That was my whole point. So why change the subject?
At what quantities does soy have negative effects on fertility?
From https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/23/11/2584/2913898/S...:
This association was stronger at the higher end of the sperm concentration distribution suggesting that soy food intake may have stronger associations among men with normal or high sperm concentrations than among men with low sperm concentration. Also, soy food intake was more strongly inversely related to sperm concentration among overweight and obese men. Intake of soy foods or isoflavones was unrelated to the remaining semen analysis parameters examined.

Much like how a Tesla Model 3 isn't as cheap as a Corolla, but still not completely out of the question for alot of people like a Model S is.
Even if it settles at double the price of meat I could see myself buying it regularly. Given how unethically meat is produced now, I don't mind accepting some price increase.
I remember reading the original impressions of the Impossible Foods ground meat and thinking it was just media buzz. I promise you it is not. At Momofuku's Ssam Bar in the East Village of NYC, you can order an off menu item called Spicy Pork Sausage and Rice Cakes. It's not really off the menu - the item has simply been around so long and is so well known to regulars that they left it off to make room for new dishes.…
I tried the Impossible Meats burger - it was nowhere near as tasty as a beef burger. I think it could be improved drastically by just adding a little MSG tho.
I'm happy to see that fat and protein are the main ingredients. http://impossiblefoods.com/images/faq/nutrition-facts.png A lot of veggie imitation meats are low on fat and protein and extremely high on processed carbs.
Wow, do nutrition labels in USA generally not show figures per 100g?

I'm paleo, and wanted to try it to see how it tastes. Closer than I expected to a real burger. Not great, but this would be an excellent replacement for factory farmed animals. Not as tasty, or as good for the environment as pasture raised cows.
> Not as good for the environment as pasture raised cows. Even at scale?
When you start talking environmentally sustainable meat production, you're talking about utilizing land and calories that would not be well utilized otherwise. Pastureland that is too rocky or arid for grain or vegetable production, grazed at a level that is sustainable for that land. Food waste and mast you can feed to pigs or goats but not people.
Scale is "a whole lot of meat" but "not much as Americans eat now".

OK, I'll help explain why I downvoted you. It probably would have taken you less time to google "impossible foods burger" than to write your question. More importantly, by starting of your question the way you did, you seem to be implying, intentionally or not, some level of smugness that "don't these guys know soy burgers have been around for 20 years." Here is the Impossible Foods FAQ: https://www.impossiblefoods.c…
I read the article. It didnt say. I even googled leghemoglobin and found that its in all soy/tofu, so that didnt seem a differentiator. I expect other people here will have the same question Honestly yes if you cant be clear what your business does where others have failed IMO at the very least your marketing team is failing
Soy burgers have been around for 20 years and that has been 20 years of failure.
Vegetarians might not care how the product tastes, especially if they make their culinary decisions for ethical reasons. But this is the first time meat eaters are actually saying that they might use a veggie product just because they like it.
That is a big deal.

nutritionfacts.org is vegan propaganda and shouldn't be confused with a good source. Nutritional science is hard and we have very limited ability to actually study it and make strong recommendations. Cherry-picking phrases and results from limited power studies just muddies the waters.

Would love to see a better source. - Nutritionfacts.org is non-profit - Their conclusions are based on studies. - They're not trying to sell supplements or food products. Do they omit certain studies that contradict their overall conclusions? Sure. That doesn't mean anything to me.

IMO: Your website is trying to sell a lifestyle. Their conclusions are made in advance; then they attempt to rationalize them with studies after the fact.
> Do they omit certain studies that contradict their overall conclusions? Sure. That doesn't mean anything to me.
That is a major red flag in science reporting.
