A coordinated effort to stop buying animal products on a mass scale could go a long way toward crippling the GOP, but too many on the left are still too busy crying, "no ethical consumption under capitalism tho," to be ready for that conversation.

FWIW, I've reduced my beef consumption by like, probably, 70% since I started buying Beyond/Impossible stuff. Incremental change is possible; doesn't have to be all or nothing / all at once.
My kids actually prefer Impossible over beef, I'm cool with it, I'm not strictly vegetarian, but I don't have to have meat all the time.
My ex was a vegetarian, so I made an effort. Some of those efforts stuck, and I'm okay with that. Even a reduction is a net benefit. Just wish it was less expensive, but I do stock up when it's on sale.
If you want a good fairly cheap "burger", try getting a few of those giant portobello mushroom caps, marinate in olive oil, balsamic, garlic, worcestershire sauce (technically not vegetarian as it contains anchovy but close enough for these purposes) and a splash of soy sauce, and fry or grill. It's not bang on but it's tasty as fuck and beefier than you would expect. I haven't eaten beef in 20 years and it's my preferred form of veggie burger. Just be aware they cook really fast.
I've always found the black bean and corn burgers to be better than the Impossible, honestly.
I've not tried those, but I've heard similar. Will have to check them out.
Do they cook like Impossible/Beyond? The neices and nephews love it in Hamburger Helper or tacos, though I also use TVP grounds for "instant tacos" (as they like to call them lol).
Ohhh, no, they would not. It's usually just a patty. If you're using a ground beef replacer, stick with the Impossible.
Cool thanks. Will definitely try them as burgers as I have heard good things about that style. Will stick to the impossible for the kids meals haha.
