I mean, can't we just try to push real food, that looks, smells and tastes like real food? It doesn't have to be meat. Just something that isn't made on a production line, from ingredients you can't identify and in a way you don't ever get to see?

Don't worry about it. You probably eat too much protein anyway. Give it a few years and protein will be the enemy and everyone will be rediscovering carbs. Just eat good old fashioned food, a bit of everything, and what you like. Do you know anyone who lived to 100 that even knows what a "carb" is?
If I wanted a lot of carbs with some protein, I could always eat quinoa or something. There's no shortage of options there. What's interesting here is a vegan protein source that's actually a nearly pure protein source. When you are targeting specific macros for athletic reasons, a pure protein source is pretty much a requirement. During aggressive cuts, you require a tremendous amount of protein to prevent muscle wa…
A Burger King hamburger sounds awful already. A Burger King hamburger with fake meat somehow manages to sounds even worse. It's not just shit food, it's shit food with a fake flavour.

There's a food truck by my house that sells Impossible 2.0 burgers, and they charge $4 extra for it over meat burgers. If I can get something even close to that burger for half the price, I'm there, because it's that good.

It's not very obvious that it's supposed to stand for more than one letter. Is it less confusing to do this way than to say "vegetarian" since that includes vegans?
Have you met any Vegans? There is no way they'd accept being lumped into a larger 'Vegetarian' demographic. One thing about Vegans is, is that they are not shy about telling you what they are.
Edit: Found a different article [1] that says:
> Burger King is giving the Impossible Burger a trial run in 59 restaurants in the St. Louis area, and if that goes well, the fast-food chain will make the product available in all its 7,200 branches across the US

As a vegetarian and former meat eater, I've had an "impossible taco" a couple of times. I don't want or crave meat, but they tasted very good. However, the texture totally weirded me out and both times I checked more than once to make sure they didn't accidentally serve me meat. I would wager a meat eater wouldn't know the difference if they were accidentally served these vegetarian tacos instead of beef.
I eat meat and occasionally eat impossible burgers to reduce my meat consumption, and you can definitely tell. Just not as good.

If you hate Burger King, more power to you. But it's not just about putting real food out there, it's also about making it accessible to people who are lower on resources like money and time. Apparently it's super hard to do that. Even this rollout, which I applaud as getting healthier food in reach of more people, can be financially daunting to some families at an extra dollar per burger. There's a food truck by my…
And if fake meat is more expensive than the real deal and is not the real deal, then how is it going to fix anything?

Addon: This youtube video posted by Burger King of "expletive-filled double-takes from actual diners informed that the Whoppers they just ate were made of plants..." https://youtu.be/N9FED3jkNTo ... was linked from this Politico piece: "Inside the Race to Build the Burger of the Future." https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/04/01/meat-poli...
Isn't it illegal to sell people food that doesn't contain what is advertised?

* is the wild card character so veg*n "matches" both "vegan" and "vegetarian." It's a short-hand way to say "vegetarian and/or vegan."
