Black bean burgers are delicious and healthy. Fake meats are processed sh!t.

Funny, I just received my latest copy of "Nutrition Action." An article "Moo-less goes mainsteam" lists the different meat burgers versus the plant based ones. Burger King Impossible Whopper has 630 calories, 11 grams Sat fat, 1,080 mg of sodium and 25 grams protein whereas the regular whopper has 660 Calories, 12 grams sat fat, 980 mg sodium and 28 grams Protein. The list covers several chains. A friend (whose daughter helped create the plant based 'meat' ) stopped by and he said the lack of health benefits are well documented. It is simply to help people reduce their negative impact on the planet. So what's not good for you is good for the planet - some choice.

Wow, I did not know that. I tried one two weeks ago and was pretty impressed. That will be my last one!!!!

Bottom line is, there are no truly healthy fast food choices. Best to enjoy your own kitchen !

I do not patronize Burger Kings anymore. They moved their headquarters to Canada to avoid reasonable taxes. They are not a good corporate citizen.

Oh good to know. They have just started pushing it here in Australia (BK known as Hungry Jacks here) and I was wondering how it tasted. I need to check out the ingredients though because I think it contains soy which I try to avoid. Thanks for your review. Good info.

Burger King Impossible Whopper review.
I stopped for lunch today to try the veggie whopper BK has been pushing. The following is my impression and opinion.
Thought #1 Why is a Veggie based burger so much more expensive than a beef based burger? Regular Whopper $4.49 Impossible Whopper $5.59. Over a dollar more.
Thought #2 Very dry, very bland. The only thing I could taste was the lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce. Might as well be eating damp sawdust.
Thought #3 My dog is smarter than I am. I tore off a piece and he ate the bun and left the rest.
Conclusion: The only thing "Impossible" about this thing is getting me to buy a second one.

It's highly processed.

I don't see how that can be any healthier. If a person wants to eat it, fine. Just don't think it's healthier for you.

I have tried it but not because I thought I would save sodium or calories. I don't eat beef. I really like it for a once in awhile treat.

Only 30 calories? WOW! I knew the sodium was gonna be higher.

My sister told me she tried one and it was pretty good... But salty.

I've tried a lot of vegetarian ground beef substitutes. I've had much better than BK's, which I found dry and rather tasteless. Plus, it lacked the char flavor of the actual beef burgers. Unfortunately, I noticed the last time I ate there, the beef burger is lacking much of the char flavor and aroma it previously had. I'm guessing they adjusted their broiler for less output because it was overdoing it on the fake burgers.

While working today I had to make a u turn at a McDonalds and decided to order a fillet of fish and a small fries. Big mistake. Cost was over $7.00, threw half of roll out-too much bread, fries were cold and salty. Felt sick the first bite I took. I don't use salt. It was gross. Never again! Next time a piece of pizza at $2.

If you are eating fast food for health reasons or being good to yourself, well, who's kidding who?

I haven't had a fast food burger in years and from what you're describing there I will keep on passing for years, but when I do make a burger I know exactly where the beef was born raised and slaughtered approximately 35 miles as the crow flies from where I live. And as far as the sodium goes Morton salt would go out of business if they depended on me. And I'm happy you enjoyed it.

They never said it was more healthy than meat.

Did it taste like a burger?

Americans expect to be salted with meals.

This is only one of many reasons that I rarely eat out.
