Patrick Brown is on an improbable mission: Make a burger Americans love, minus the meat.
Veggie patties have been around for decades, but Brown and others want to make foods without animal products that look, cook and taste like the real thing - and can finally appeal to the masses.

I like Boca Burgers, and they’re fewer Points with the new Weight Watchers calculation.
Jackfruit can be an alternative for pulled pork. Never tried it because I can’t find canned jackfruit which is suppose to be better for it than fresh.
Another Freak telling us what to eat
You are what you eat.
Just what I want to grill on my $1,200 Kamado grill: imitation meat.
Decades of people trying and the stupid cows still do it best!
Stupid hippies can stick their veggie burgers where the sun don’t shine.
I don't see it that way. I see a guy who wants to offer a product to a market that he believes will buy what he's selling.
Maybe he will be successful and make a profit. Maybe he won't and he'll go out of business.
That's how it's supposed to work. I don't see a problem with this at all, although I can't imagine ever becoming a customer (but who knows? Maybe I'll take a bite and be hooked).
What problem do you have with this? Nobody is forcing you to buy or eat this stuff. If they ever do, I'll be on your side.
But I applaud what he's doing and wish him well.
These nuts will be starving after a week of sustained power outage. Without electricity, there will be nothing to produce or deliver their “sustainable” manufactured vegimeatburgerlikeobjects.
Perhaps it's the curry that makes the difference?
As an aside by giving up meat will "transform" America by making our children small, puny and anemic.(The elites will feed their children meat creating a size difference between the peasant and Lords.
Problem is - we like meat. There you go.
I haven’t tried those. Curry makes everything better!
Lots of vegetarian powerlifters and body builders these days. As long as you are getting the needed nutrition, a lot of a person’s size is really a matter of getting the necessary calories.
I’m with you, Sacajaweau - meat, milk, eggs, bread, salt, sugar are all good for you. Moderation is the key. Did I mention wine and chocolate? Coffee? Eat tofu and kale, you start looking like those skinny, pasty, girly-boys that eat like that. Plus. I really HATE people who tell me what to eat, especially when there is a moral high-ground component to their beliefs.
My great aunt lived to 103. I visited her apartment, where she lived alone, when she was 97. She had a walker, so I offered to clean her frig. When I opened it, ALL I saw, top to bottom, was — Sarah Lee cakes, Baskin Robbins ice cream, fruit cakes, cookies, See’s candy. You name it, she had it in there. I offered to get her some food - fruits and vegetables, milk? She said, “I have been eating this way all my life, and I am 97.”
I felt like I’d bought the biggest lie!! Good to hear the Truth spoken, always.
Aemelius Paulus - I think it is also, ‘Cows are bad. They eat food that could be used for humans! They fart and ruin the atmosphere! We have to kill them! That makes us savages. If we didn’t eat meat, there would be no war.”
I’m not buying it!
Yes, there is nothing wrong with anything you said in post #9, but the hidden, lurking problem is the government, in the form of a Bloomberg-like nanny, will eventually want to start banning meat and forcing us to eat the alternatives.
I know it is not this guys fault, but that is what people think about when they read stories like this.
