    Taco Bell has “bulked up” their ground beef with soy for years IIRC. Nobody noticed, because their seasoning and actual beef flavor were strong enough to cover.

    My problem with Impossible/Beyond is neither is nearly as good as real beef flavor, and I’m saying this as somebody who was vegetarian for over a decade. Boca and Morningstar were my favorites back when I didn’t eat meat, and I still buy the Morningstar breakfast patties because I like them better than greasy meat patties to start my day.

      I’ve bought impossible burgers and real burgers before and really struggled to taste the difference.

      unfortunately I fall into the lucky few who get extreme stomach pain, cramps, nausea and like over a day of horrific diarrhea from Impossible meat, So that basically means I’ll never eat it again, and also be incredibly unlikely to try any others.

      Took me 3 times before I noticed the pattern and started poking around online about it, to find I wasnt alone.
