Vegan does not equal health.

IMG_2362.jpeg

There is a profound misuse of the word “Vegan” It is presumed that to be vegan is to be healthy because you are not eating meat or any food that is derived from animals. This food item, or should I say “non food” item called The “Impossible Burger,” is misleading the public into thinking that it’s a wise alternative to eating meat. Which is better? Food created in a science lab? Or food that is grown organically in soil?

Here is a full list of the ingredients. You decide and tell me if you think this is quality healthy food?

Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, 2% or less of: Potato Protein, Methylcellulose, Yeast Extract, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Soy Protein Isolate, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Zinc Gluconate, Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Sodium.

It's called the Impossible Burger and it looks, feels, tastes and smells like ground beef, even though it's made entirely of plants. It's all thanks to science and genetically engineered yeast. WIRED explores how close it comes to the real thing and if it's 100% safe.
