Today's CNN has a piece on plant-based meat alternatives.  Among other things it announces that Burger King will be offering the Impossible Whopper (based on Impossible Burger's plant-based meat substitute) nationwide as of August 08.  This is following highly successful trials in St. Louis an other locations.  I am anxious to try it.  In an era of global climate change, population growth and increasing pressure on agriculture worldwide to provide food for earth's burgeoning population, I think plant-based meat alternatives will assume increasing importance as a substitute for the highly-inefficient  and resource-intensive raising of animals for meat.

"Beyond Meat" is one of the better tasting brands. Some condiments and it's a reasonable facsimile of a burger. I like to throw a little butter or olive oil in the pan before frying. 

I'll be truly impressed if they can make beyond bacon. I miss bacon. The wife bought me turkey bacon once...


Just once.

Sounds nasty.   They've never been able to fool anyone with sugar substitutes or "vegetarian" burgers up to this point, I doubt if it'll work this time.   Besides which, 97% of climate scientists say that we have only 18 months to save their jobs, so I guess we'll see.

looking at photo, don't have a clue about the burgers    but I like the bike.

That's a nice one.   They love those things in England, I'll bet a motivated Connecticut seller could double his money sending it over.

I'd keep it, though.

You can jump back 70 years and make that same statement. 

I was watching a Cary Grant movie where his character talks about climate change.  Ask the folks who walked across the Bering Strait Ice Age Bridge about Climate Change.

Climate change has been continual and constant during the billions of years the Earth has existed.  Normally, it works very slowly, taking thousands of years to effect a significant climate change.  The difference with the current and near-term future climate change is that this one, powered by accumulating greenhouse gasses produced by industrialization and burning of fossil fuel (ie. anthropomorphic change factors), is happening at least 400 times faster than any documented climate change in the past.

So a quick search shows alternating periods of glaciation averaging 70,000-90,000 years and interglacial warming periods of 10,000-30,000 years. 

Based on your information the cycle will now be alternating periods of glaciation averaging 175-225 years and interglacial warming periods of 25-75 years.

Since industrialization is said to start before 1800, we will say 1800 for it to be well under way.  This would mean that we should have seen a period of glaciation by now. 

I'm sorry, but I don't trust college researchers who rely on grant money and publishing papers to obtain tenure and keep their source of income flowing.

I sat at the dinner table tonight with a couple eating In-N-Out burgers - we've been conditioned to think eating animal carcasses which go on to rot in our intestines ISN'T nasty.
Very few people eating the SAD diet know meat is classified as a probable cause of cancer & processed meat is a group 1 carcinogen.
Then there's the links to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease... burger drive-in nostalgia is cool & all but truth be told... we've been duped!

Hey, go for it!   Everyone's got their own idea of what makes life worth living, and what the risk/benefit ration is for anything we do ...
