Had a couple of opportunities to try the Impossible Burger/Beyond Meat offerings.
As a lifelong meat eater I can confirm that they are not meat...however, depending on the application, I do consider them a reasonable substitute.
Eaten “naked” it is just an okay patty of something that was edible but did not give me the same joy as a plain meat patty. However when used as a meatball in a tomato sauce I found it a worthy substitute.
So my take is, if you are going to slather it with sauce and other condiments you will likely be pleasantly surprised at how good a substitute it could be. But for me it will not be a replacement choice when beef is what I want.
As to it’s overall health and or environmental benefits I will remain silent.
