I don't think that Impossible meat will repleace the meat industry for varius reason. 1) it would be a monopoly which is bad 2) "It tastes like real meat" , it's half false it tastes like cow burger but a cow tastes different from a pig. I don't think that any reasonable human would give up on bacon. I mean what's the point of a burger without bacon. 3) cows are used as a source of milk and cheese, old milk cows are used in lower quality meat industries *coff* fast food *coff*, but if you continue to produce milk you still in need of thousands of cows that eventually will die and if let them die without eating them you will need to get rid of thousands of cows' corpses, basically wasting meat. So it would be worse than now. 4)As i said earlier since every animal tastes a little different part of the world where they eat a lot of different animals will not adopt it (at best it would repleace some burger). And europe is that part of the world, form goose to quail form cows to pig, form sheep to goat. 5) Farms didn't stopped people form continuing to hunt 6)Not only different animals taste different but different parts of the same animals tastes different. A steak tastes different form a burger and it tastes different of an hotdog. Plus higher quality meat is determined by the fat structure and quantity of fat in the meat, but if you had to replicate thoose structure in a lab, you would need to recreate an entire cow, and at that point why not just breed cow? 7)If you say that a cow pollutes more than a lab cow you would be wrong since we have no data about a lab cow, their actual data regards cow burger vs lab burger without considering the milk produced, the fact that cows excrement are used for biofuel energy and as manure, and how a mass production of Impossible burger would scale
I went full vegetarian for 7 months in 2018 (felt clear-headed and great). After that I cut down my meat consumption by 90% of what it used to be. I have had these plant-based burgers and they are outstanding; miles ahead of the veggie patties of the 90's. I am definitely on board!!!
I´m not a vegetarian, but if you make me choose between a normal hamburger and a beyond meat hamburger, I will always ALWAYs choose the beyond meat burger, it´s the most wonderful and for me, the tastier one I have ever tried, it´s wonderful!! And my wife loves thebeyond sausage, I don´t so much, but she loves it!! We don´t get the impossible burger here in Colombia, so we will have to wait. And they don´t talk much about one of the most important topics, with this burgers, we will not have animal cruelty anymore, that´s for me more important than anything else.
@@argyelanadam why not? with enough research it'll eventually be cheaper, easier to cook with, taste nicer, use less land, water, and co2, and be better for you. Right now it's far off but think about how far we've come in 10 years.
@@tatyboy1337 because you cant just change people mind, you cant just ignore millions and millions of meat eaters. Meat wont be replace. Is not about money, is about people.

"It will be the meat industry in 20 years" Exactly the thing the CEO of a "tech" company with rapidly rising stock value wants to say. Similar to the claims made about autonomous cars, cryptocurrency, solar panels, and all other popular "tech" things in the zeitgeist.

The problem with china is that its the original source of plant-based meat, tofu and other soy products have been treated that way for centuries. It is far from new, on the other hand, real meat is a status symbol, a sign of wealth, a testment to the fact that famines and food shortages have become a thing of the past. The marlket is also extremely adverse to GMO. It will be very difficult for companies, particularly american, to alter the public perception
What I like about this "impossible meat" is that it contributes greatly to reducing fossil fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I wish for it to completely replace traditional meat and for traditional animal based meat to become an expensive luxury offered at high end restuarants in hotels such as the 7 star hotel Dubai (Over there it would be halal too).
Burger King recently lowered its price for the Impossible Whopper. Not sure if there are regional variations, but around here, you can get it for $3, so you might check that out. That's still $6 for 2 patties, but it includes the other ingredients as well.
4 Patties at $7 would bring it inline with Beef Patty prices. When certain Vegan Burger patties are On Sale I will often buy some. There are a few different brands that are close enough to Beef that it is very difficult to tell that they are not Beef.
When this technology matures governments should really aid these meat replacements with lowered taxes or similar policies. Could be huge for the environment.
Nah cattle farmers would need more grants as they could be forced to obscurity, and it also makes no sense for them to get such insensitive in other countries because if it isn’t as healthy as meat then what is the point because it’s just gonna drive the national health bill up . The USA makes millions in med and pharmaceuticals
I love how people that support plant based diets always forget the amount of water, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers agricultural requires. Then they forget to aknowledge that large swaths of land are only suitable for grazing, that methane breaks down into CO2 after ten years in the atmosphere, and organic fertilizers are manure.
Well a lot of the plants grown in agriculture is grown to feed a lot of the very animals people use as food. You cut out animal agriculture altogether and you have a lot more land, water and other resources available. The only real grass fed meat is wild game meat. Your typical farm raised grass fed meat is too fatty or high in fat to be considered healthy. Wild game meat has been shown to cause much less inflammation and is the healthier choice. I personally am looking forward to ethically made lab grown meat or cellular agriculture. I think it would be a great solution for supplying the demand for animal products in the future once it is perfected.
Also if what you say about methane breaking down into CO2 is true, why hasn't this happened much on Neptune whose atmosphere is largely methane? Also, where is all the CO2 another greenhouse gas, going to go and become O2 with much of the land being constantly cleared of trees and other vegetation for agriculture, especially animal agriculture, among other things, that would help take the CO2 out of the earth 's atmosphere?
healthier and less expensive will definately happen sooner rather than later. Tastier might never happen. That means it will get phased out at mcdonalds but not your favorite mom/pop burger joint
Impossible meat is nothing like the real taste of meat and those who say that it tastes the same are the ones who eat their steak well done, Meat isn't going anywhere
Nope, but that's where cultured meat comes in. You can have real meat, real beef, real chicken, real fish, real...human if that's what you're into. They're trying to figure out how to give it enough structure and texture at scale right now, but when they perfect that, You could eat a You Filet that grew in a vat of nutrients.
yea its trash right now but meats most likely gonna get more expensive as the world gets richer, so that will most likely push the development and make it better since there will be more incentive to do it.
I am almost certain that once they get more mainstream leverage, they'll be making briskets, pulled pork, boneless T-bone steak, chicken breast, possibly even fish like salmon.
That isn't their goal right now. They are focusing on ground beef because it is by far the largest way people consume beef. Hell most people have prob never even made a brisket.
It really bugs me that everyone's solution to cow methane is less cows. When a much faster solution is to change the diet of the cows to something other than corn.
Did a little test this July 4th: made both beyond burgers and regular burgers for my guests and no one said anything LOL. The key is to keep the patties thin. There's no difference at that point.

"Livestock farming is responsible for nearly fifteen (14.5%) of greenhouse gases." Bullshit! 1. Livestock is a carbon neutral system. Cows cannot emit any more carbon than they take in via food. They do not "create" gasses. They convert carbon from one form to another. 2. The emissions are all at ground level. Very little of it rises high enough to actually act as a greenhouse gas. 3. Plants take up CO2 and Methane at the ground level. It's an important part of the ecosystem. 4. Livestock like cattle do not produce anymore greenhouse gases than elephants or wildebeests. I've never once heard a vegan say we should reduce their populations to cut down on greenhouse gasses. This propaganda is just Vegans trying to piggyback their cause onto climate change so they can sound more important. If you care about greenhouse gasses and the environment then the only industry you should seek to abolish is the fossil fuel industry. Unlike cattle that converts grass into gas and gas then gets taken up into grass, the petroleum and coal industry digs carbon up out of the ground to be burned and then ejected via smokestacks straight into the atmosphere. Livestock produces ZERO new carbon in our ecosystem.
Cavan Clark well said. The supply chain is the most destructive part of the industry. I’m more interested in lab own meat over plant-based. Plant-based doesn’t solve the complex supply chain issue. Patented technologies that can produce lab grown meat locally is a better option. As well as supporting local farmers with a much smaller impact on the supply chain
Cavan Clark lets get something straight globally there’s 70 billion farm animals that you have to grow food for to feed 7 billion humans. And there’s farmers cutting down rainforests to grow feed crops. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work that’s a very inefficient way to feed 7 billion people and thinking that changing the environment to do that is not going to have an effect is nonsensical. Also the amount of fossil fuel used to grow the feed crops, transported the cattle to slaughter and then power the refrigeration process the manure, It’s very misleading to say that the meat industry isn’t part of the problem and can be easily solved by changing what is on your plate. The livestock farmers need to recognise that they have to change because if they don’t their way of life will be gone.

At first the title made me feel so sad about slaughterhouse animals but then I got happy 😃 I’ll take any meat replacement over an industry that exploits and tortures animals.
another avenue to reduce environmental impact would be *gasp* producing meat in a lab. We're probably far off, and to make sure it's safe will take a lot of research. But imagine huge scale production of meat that requires no animals. Meat itself has unique nutritional value that contributed to the development of our species. I don't think it's realistic to eliminate it entirely
Things like riding a bike rather than taking a car, taking shorter showers or using less electricity does not matter at all. There are two ways to actually help the environment: Buy and consume less products that destroys the environment. Going vegan or vegetarian is the best you can do, otherwise buy wayyyy less products in general. Or political acts to create laws that helps the environment
It’s not a substitute. The ONLY reason some people can’t tell the difference is because they load their burgers with other crap (lettuce, tomatoes, onions). Just make it as a simple burger or cheeseburger, and it’s extremely easy to distinguish between the real beef and fake.
Back in my day when we wanted to eat plants we made a "salad." Nowadays kids mash up the salad into a paddy, throw in additives you can't pronounce & call it a burger.
The biggest hurdle is that they are using too many expensive veggies or trying to make profit before trying to end meat. I'm not gonna pay $5 for an impossible Whopper. If it was $2 okay, and that's still more than what a McDouble with real beef costs.

well first of all by concept alone... Any meat eater will tell u a burger actually kills the actual flavour of the meat after you add so many things. Burgers are the easiest things to make veg. Veg burgers have been around for yrs. Tbh I didn't mind them... but veg is not meat and never will be.

@julio1c1saga thats what is happening with the pork plant meat
@julio1c1saga you don't understand you can't take away Meat and replace it with a veggie because it would have as many chemicals they put in the veggie burger to make it taste like meat they may have even more or the same amount of chemicals they put into this veggie meat to make it the same so no
This is quality clickbait 🤣

Yes agree. The promise on environment is great but how about to our body. Processed food is less nutritious than well cooked fresh ingredients. And the ambition is to replace completely a food source (animal) that we as species have depended on for millenias.

I don't think that Impossible meat will repleace the meat industry for varius reason.
1) it would be a monopoly which is bad
2) "It tastes like real meat" , it's half false it tastes like cow burger but a cow tastes different from a pig. I don't think that any reasonable human would give up on bacon. I mean what's the point of a burger without bacon.
3) cows are used as a source of milk and cheese, old milk cows are used in lower quality meat industries *coff* fast food *coff*, but if you continue to produce milk you still in need of thousands of cows that eventually will die and if let them die without eating them you will need to get rid of thousands of cows' corpses, basically wasting meat. So it would be worse than now.
4)As i said earlier since every animal tastes a little different part of the world where they eat a lot of different animals will not adopt it (at best it would repleace some burger). And europe is that part of the world, form goose to quail form cows to pig, form sheep to goat.
5) Farms didn't stopped people form continuing to hunt
6)Not only different animals taste different but different parts of the same animals tastes different. A steak tastes different form a burger and it tastes different of an hotdog. Plus higher quality meat is determined by the fat structure and quantity of fat in the meat, but if you had to replicate thoose structure in a lab, you would need to recreate an entire cow, and at that point why not just breed cow?
7)If you say that a cow pollutes more than a lab cow you would be wrong since we have no data about a lab cow, their actual data regards cow burger vs lab burger without considering the milk produced, the fact that cows excrement are used for biofuel energy and as manure, and how a mass production of Impossible burger would scale
I went full vegetarian for 7 months in 2018 (felt clear-headed and great). After that I cut down my meat consumption by 90% of what it used to be. I have had these plant-based burgers and they are outstanding; miles ahead of the veggie patties of the 90's. I am definitely on board!!!
@@tukayz254 cool
I´m not a vegetarian, but if you make me choose between a normal hamburger and a beyond meat hamburger, I will always ALWAYs choose the beyond meat burger, it´s the most wonderful and for me, the tastier one I have ever tried, it´s wonderful!! And my wife loves thebeyond sausage, I don´t so much, but she loves it!! We don´t get the impossible burger here in Colombia, so we will have to wait. And they don´t talk much about one of the most important topics, with this burgers, we will not have animal cruelty anymore, that´s for me more important than anything else.
They didn't say that impossible was going to replace the entire meat industry, they said that plant-based in general is going to replace meat.
Yeah but it won't.
@@argyelanadam why not? with enough research it'll eventually be cheaper, easier to cook with, taste nicer, use less land, water, and co2, and be better for you.

@@tatyboy1337 because you cant just change people mind, you cant just ignore millions and millions of meat eaters. Meat wont be replace. Is not about money, is about people. Also, some vegans or vegetarians turn this whole situation as annoying as posible. As you said, if they make enough research they will creat cheaper and tastier products... is similar with meat. There is cheap and luxury meat, is all about (as vegan products) about teast, health, how is made. There will be bad vegan products. Also meat is not bad for human.

"It will be the meat industry in 20 years"
Exactly the thing the CEO of a "tech" company with rapidly rising stock value wants to say. Similar to the claims made about autonomous cars, cryptocurrency, solar panels, and all other popular "tech" things in the zeitgeist. They all say in 10-20 years the world will be different, so get on the stock train as fast as you can. Progress is progress but none of these will happen in 20 years.
Empty promise as always.
The problem with china is that its the original source of plant-based meat, tofu and other soy products have been treated that way for centuries. It is far from new, on the other hand, real meat is a status symbol, a sign of wealth, a testment to the fact that famines and food shortages have become a thing of the past. The marlket is also extremely adverse to GMO. It will be very difficult for companies, particularly american, to alter the public perception
Me in the beginning: That's pessimistic...
Me one minute later: Oh... OOOOOOH.
What I like about this "impossible meat" is that it contributes greatly to reducing fossil fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I wish for it to completely replace traditional meat and for traditional animal based meat to become an expensive luxury offered at high end restuarants in hotels such as the 7 star hotel Dubai (Over there it would be halal too).
Average Chinese don't care about animals, so that would be a tough sale...

It’s $7.00 per pack of two patties right now. They have to pack 8 patties at $7.00 price for me to start buying it as much as I used to.
Burger King recently lowered its price for the Impossible Whopper. Not sure if there are regional variations, but around here, you can get it for $3, so you might check that out. That's still $6 for 2 patties, but it includes the other ingredients as well.
4 Patties at $7 would bring it inline with Beef Patty prices. When certain Vegan Burger patties are On Sale I will often buy some. There are a few different brands that are close enough to Beef that it is very difficult to tell that they are not Beef.
So 6 patties for $7 is the sweet spot?
Chemically driven rubbish will never seriously challenge the real thing
You really have no reason to be sure of this.
Of course it will lol, just ask your blacksmith
When this technology matures governments should really aid these meat replacements with lowered taxes or similar policies. Could be huge for the environment.
I would aid the cattle herders instead.
Nah cattle farmers would need more grants as they could be forced to obscurity, and it also makes no sense for them to get such insensitive in other countries because if it isn’t as healthy as meat then what is the point because it’s just gonna drive the national health bill up .

I love how people that support plant based diets always forget the amount of water, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers agricultural requires. Then they forget to aknowledge that large swaths of land are only suitable for grazing, that methane breaks down into CO2 after ten years in the atmosphere, and organic fertilizers are manure.
Well a lot of the plants grown in agriculture is grown to feed a lot of the very animals people use as food. You cut out animal agriculture altogether and you have a lot more land, water and other resources available. The only real grass fed meat is wild game meat. Your typical farm raised grass fed meat is too fatty or high in fat to be considered healthy. Wild game meat has been shown to cause much less inflammation and is the healthier choice. I personally am looking forward to ethically made lab grown meat or cellular agriculture. I think it would be a great solution for supplying the demand for animal products in the future once it is perfected.
Also if what you say about methane breaking down into CO2 is true, why hasn't this happened much on Neptune whose atmosphere is largely methane? Also, where is all the CO2 another greenhouse gas, going to go and become O2 with much of the land being constantly cleared of trees and other vegetation for agriculture, especially animal agriculture, among other things, that would help take the CO2 out of the earth 's atmosphere?
Shhhhh, these are startup businesses we are talking about, they can’t handle the truth.

@@tasmanianbadger Too true. Quantity always beats quality in the mass market.
Impossible meat is nothing like the real taste of meat and those who say that it tastes the same are the ones who eat their steak well done, Meat isn't going anywhere
Nope, but that's where cultured meat comes in. You can have real meat, real beef, real chicken, real fish, real...human if that's what you're into. They're trying to figure out how to give it enough structure and texture at scale right now, but when they perfect that, You could eat a You Filet that grew in a vat of nutrients.
yea its trash right now but meats most likely gonna get more expensive as the world gets richer, so that will most likely push the development and make it better since there will be more incentive to do it.

Not with that attitude!
I am almost certain that once they get more mainstream leverage, they'll be making briskets, pulled pork, boneless T-bone steak, chicken breast, possibly even fish like salmon.
That isn't their goal right now. They are focusing on ground beef because it is by far the largest way people consume beef. Hell most people have prob never even made a brisket.
It really bugs me that everyone's solution to cow methane is less cows. When a much faster solution is to change the diet of the cows to something other than corn.
Meat is not going anywhere. I will eat it until I die.
I love how they equate 'all meat' with ground beef. They can't even replace all beef products, let alone all meat products.

"Livestock farming is responsible for nearly fifteen (14.5%) of greenhouse gases."
Bullshit!
1. Livestock is a carbon neutral system. Cows cannot emit any more carbon than they take in via food. They do not "create" gasses. They convert carbon from one form to another.
2. The emissions are all at ground level. Very little of it rises high enough to actually act as a greenhouse gas.
3. Plants take up CO2 and Methane at the ground level. It's an important part of the ecosystem.
4. Livestock like cattle do not produce anymore greenhouse gases than elephants or wildebeests. I've never once heard a vegan say we should reduce their populations to cut down on greenhouse gasses.
This propaganda is just Vegans trying to piggyback their cause onto climate change so they can sound more important.
If you care about greenhouse gasses and the environment then the only industry you should seek to abolish is the fossil fuel industry. Unlike cattle that converts grass into gas and gas then gets taken up into grass, the petroleum and coal industry digs carbon up out of the ground to be burned and then ejected via smokestacks straight into the atmosphere.
Livestock produces ZERO new carbon in our ecosystem.
Cavan Clark well said. The supply chain is the most destructive part of the industry. I’m more interested in lab own meat over plant-based. Plant-based doesn’t solve the complex supply chain issue. Patented technologies that can produce lab grown meat locally is a better option. As well as supporting local farmers with a much smaller impact on the supply chain
Cavan Clark lets get something straight globally there’s 70 billion farm animals that you have to grow food for to feed 7 billion humans. And there’s farmers cutting down rainforests to grow feed crops. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work that’s a very inefficient way to feed 7 billion people and thinking that changing the environment to do that is not going to have an effect is nonsensical. Also the amount of fossil fuel used to grow the feed crops, transported the cattle to slaughter and then power the refrigeration process the manure, It’s very misleading to say that the meat industry isn’t part of the problem and can be easily solved by changing what is on your plate.
The livestock farmers need to recognise that they have to change because if they don’t their way of life will be gone.

another avenue to reduce environmental impact would be *gasp* producing meat in a lab. We're probably far off, and to make sure it's safe will take a lot of research.

It’s not a substitute. The ONLY reason some people can’t tell the difference is because they load their burgers with other crap (lettuce, tomatoes, onions). Just make it as a simple burger or cheeseburger, and it’s extremely easy to distinguish between the real beef and fake.
Back in my day when we wanted to eat plants we made a "salad." Nowadays kids mash up the salad into a paddy, throw in additives you can't pronounce & call it a burger.
