Making plants taste as good as meat

This isn't yer fancy-schamncy lab-grown meat, it's a plant-based burger that claims to be as good as a meat burger. It has the virtue of actually being available for purchase in restaurants, though the price is not stated. Environmental stats are not as good as synthetic meat burgers but still a dramatic improvement : "74% less water, 87% less ghg emissions, 95% of the land".

  1. "Boca" burgers aren't bad and turkey burgers are great for those who simply avoid red meat. I do it for health reasons. For anyone who wants to get an idea of just how much red meat taxes your body, try staying completely off of it for at least three weeks. Then, try eating a sizable steak. Take note of how you feel within about 20 minutes after you finish the steak.
