As a vegetarian, having fake meat options is really great. Sometimes you just want a burger, or you need something that can be cooked on a grill at a social gathering. Just the fact that I can get fast food that isn't Taco Bell when I want to is a big deal.

Cool, have a fake meat option. It's a snack food option. But please don't tell me it's going to save the planet. It's not even close to doing that. It's just a way to sell another money making snack. I love French fries and eat them a few times a month but in no way am I kidding my self into thinking that I'm saving the planet.

As a former vegetarian, I loved boca burgers as they were cheap and high in proteins and minimally processed.

The new fake meats aren’t that great over existing meat substitutes and I’m frustrated that their price is so high and has not been coming down over the years available. I don’t see these being viable as they cost more than beef.

At least at Burger King, Impossible Whoppers are only like $1 more. Most restaraunts, yeah they are the most expensive option by a couple of dollars. Very frustrating. Still good to have the option though, because the alternative is often a crappy house salad or sides.

Beef is heavily subsidized. Give it time.
