It can also be used as a replacement human kidney.

Yeah, drench it in ketchup, then throw it and the bottle of ketchup into the trash.

I can't imagine it would be very good, but I'd try it. The Impossible Burger is pretty tasty, to my surprise.

You think you were surprised at how good it tasted, just wait until the truth comes out about what they were really putting in those Impossible Burgers (hint - Soylent Green). Then you're really gonna be surprised at how good it tasted.

Relax. This is how we eventually get the food replicator from Star Trek.

I had real TBone steaks for dinner last night and they were faaaaabulous. I draw the line at 3-D replicated fake steak. No can do.

The problem I have with those soy/unknown substance burgers isn't so much the taste, but the texture. Bite into one and when you chew, it becomes some kind of pasty goo. I'm out.

Have you tried the Impossible Burger? It tastes so much like meat that my vegetarian friend won't eat it.

I tried the Impossible Whopper; it was OK, I guess. Fairly reminiscent of what I remembered a Whopper tasting like.

I've been a vegetarian for a few years now, and I really don't "get" the whole fake meat thing. If I wanted meat, I would simply eat it. The notion of a 3D printed plant steak is a hard pass from me.

The only way I can see this taking off is if there is a confluence of events that render real meat cost prohibitive and the fake steak market can overcome adoption barriers where economies of scale can make it significantly more affordable than meat.

To be fair, I've had it at a reasonably nice restaurant where they actually know how to cook a burger, and that's what I'm primarily thinking of. The Burger King version is fine, but at the end of the day it's a Burger King burger.

As for the plant-based meat broadly, though, I think of it more as being for someone like me than someone like you. I don't think I could ever truly be vegetarian, but I do think that the world would generally be a little better place if we had less of a need for raising and slaughtering meat. So, if they can come up with some products that satisfy my need for meat while reducing the impacts of growing said meat, I'm all for it.

But yeah, they're gonna have to get the prices down. I actually think it's likely they'll get there in the next 5-10 years, but we'll see.
