   I just want tasty food that keeps me healthy – it doesn't have to be meat or even resemble meat. Although, I'm not giving up salmon. So I know I'm not giving up on meat entirely (yes, I count fish as meat – it's the flesh of an animal), but I can do stuff like the Mediterranean diet.

   I don’t want vegetables pretending to be meat. And I would not want meat pretending to be vegetables. Why would a vegetarian or vegan want meat or something pretending to be meat? Y’all choose to eat only vegetables. If y’all want to eat meat, then you are neither vegetarian nor vegan, and y’all might as well stop pretending. It’s insulting to the rest of us when you expect Us to eat fake food so you can Prove to us that fake food is somehow Better. Stop already!

   I’d never consider having a vegan dish, especially when I go out to eat, but if a dish was served up to me and I was told afterwards that it was vegan I wouldn’t complain about it. I’m not against veganism but personally for me I would prefer to consume natural proteins for the relevant vitamins because vegan products don’t often provide the same necessary nutrients and vitamins that natural proteins provide

   Why though? Vegans eating fake meat is like me saying I don't want to hurt puppies, I just want to pretend I do. Weirdos.

   I would love to stop eating meat and this looks very good judging by the comments, so would like to give it a try, but like many products will it ever be on the supermarket shelves or is it a one time wonder?, you should put under the video where to purchase products you use, so we can get them!!

    buying 'high quality meat' (whatever that is..) makes no difference you are still paying for an animal to be killed..

    Why would they make a burger so tall you can't bite it properly? If a normal adult cannot take a full bite through a burger that gets both the top and bottom bun in a single bite without straining or needing to squish the burger in their hands, it is too tall.

    There is no blood with meat resting. It’s actually a chemical reaction I don’t have my fingertips. All animals are drained at slaughterhouses of blood. There is never blood on your plate.

    I have two vegan burgers in my freezer made by a company called Quorn – their burgers are made from mushroom in some way.

    I understand that the people who make the burger are vegan, but they should know that when you cook meat it’s not actually blood that comes out from the meat it’s a protein called myoglobin

    I do get that that isn’t exactly the main selling point of the burger though, but for a big company they should at least get all the facts down

    Can't really see the point in having a vegan burger that appears as though it's "bleeding" to look like meat.
    Kinda defies the point I think.
    I'm a meat eater that appreciates some vegan recipes btw. They make good side dishes lol

    Just need more variety of good meat substitute now. I've seen a lot of them managed to make very convincing burger patty replacement, now we need one for like the actual meat looking meat. No need to make a leg of chicken or something big like that, just make something around the size of karaage or something like that.

    1581, first mention is the derivative pukishness (“the tendency to be sick frequently”). In 1600, "to spit up, regurgitate", recorded in the Seven Ages of Man speech in Shakespeare's As You Like It. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Germanic *pukaną (“to spit, puff”), from Proto-Indo-European *bew- (“to blow, swell”). If so, then cognate with German pfauchen, fauchen (“to hiss, spit”). Compare also Dutch spugen (“to spit, spit up”), German spucken (“to spit, puke, throw up”), Old English spīwan (“to vomit, spit”). More at spew.

    I wish meat alternatives wouldn't use pea protein and hemp as some people myself included are allergic to them. I have a very limited selection of alternatives and also I agree with James buy better quality meat

    I’ve been vegan for 19 years and the first time I ate one of these “bleeding” vegan burgers I couldn’t finish it. They’ve put a “heme” or “blood” taste into it that is uncanny!

    As a lifetime vegetarian who's never eaten meat "bleeding" and extremely convincing meat substitutes wig me out a bit. I'm always paranoid there'll be a mix up and I'll accidentally get the wrong burger. I'm a vegetarian because my mum and grandma both are and I was raised without meat so the thought and smell of it are completely disgusting to me (I eat meat substitutes like quorn but they don't really smell or look like real meat) plus I don't want to eat something that can feel fear and pain. But they're great for meat eaters that want to reduce their meat consumption! Especially if it gives someone an easy and affordable alternative. If you've grown up with meat making up the main part of your meals it can be hard to cut that back even if you know it's better for you and the environment and if you don't know how to get enough protein in other forms it can be a huge barrier.

    I'm with James on this one: Buy high quality meat, preferably from a local source and only eat meat once a week or every other week. I never got why we need meat substitutes. Humans don't need meat in their diet, we are omnivorous and are therefor perfectly fine with a vegetarian diet. If you don't want to eat meat, just don't. Half the population of India doesn't eat meat and has done so for hundreds if not thousands of years. If you're concerned about animals or the environment and you need meat replacements to stick to your vegetarian diet, then you're not concerned enough because highly processed foods harm animals and the environment. Maybe not as much as lifestock operations, but still a lot more than a regular farmer growing organic veggies.
    I've tried the impossible burger and it's horrible. I'd rather have a good old well seasoned vegetarian patty made from beans or lentils without all the highly processed stuff in it.
    It's really funny. A few years pack everyone was outraged about the pink slime in burger patties and today we produce replacements that look and feel exactly like pink slime but people are raving about it.

    Nah, just do what us Asians do: 40% deliciously flavored veg ('quality' is a thing, but here we don't really give a shit about GMO [which has been going on for hundreds of years (another argument)]) (actually the way Westerners cook their greens to soggy blobs had almost turned me off or almost want to "Bleh" in younger years), 40% rice/noodles or other carbs(depending on where and what you're eating), and actually about 15-20% meat.
    One thing I do notice when going back to the States is Westerners eat a LOT of meat. So not necessarily high-quality—just learn how to balance your diet more.

    This is why I'm always nervous about trying plant-based meat substitutes… I'm deadly allergic to mushrooms. There has to be a way to make a meat substitute that doesn't have mushrooms in it 🙁

    I really appreciate the efforts people are making towards a viable meat substitute. I worry that, in our zeal to do that, we won't adequately test this highly-contrived and heavily-processed product for long-term health effects. James – you're a grump but you're self-conscious about it which is just charming 😉
