Question:

Is impossible meat ok to eat or is it too processed?
— Mary Janicki
Answer:
So, impossible meat. Um, I always look at it as impossible meats is a great converter, right? So if you're converting from being a hundred percent, you know, like you're eating mostly meat, going over to plant-based, impossible meats are a great way to be able to convert from one to the other. They have the look, the feel, the taste, you know, of a regular burger. So, um, you're, you know, you're getting the same kind of thing, but you're lowering your cholesterol levels on those. Now that being said, um, if you, uh, impossible burgers definitely have a lot of stuff in them, even more stuff than burgers would, you know. So, um, I definitely wouldn't stay on that for too long. It's not like you, they're not meant to be like a thing where you eat all the time on the impossible stuff. So I might veer away from that a little bit, um, on, uh, the Impossible Burger side. So, you know, it's a great when you're just kind of converting over, but definitely look at a, a plan to be able to kind of escape over into, um, more of a plant-based and whole food diet.
