C
The Impossible Burger is a burger that looks, smells and tastes exactly like beef, but is created using vegetables and biochemistry. There are many different versions of “veggie burgers”, but unlike most veggie burgers, this one is not made for vegetarians. It is designed for meat lovers, with the goal of reducing climate change. The company behind this burger, Impossible Foods, wants to change people’s eating habits to reduce the impact on the climate from meat production.
The Impossible Burger has the same color and good nutrition as beef, without the unhealthy parts such as cholesterol (胆固醇).
In truth, beef production is terrible for the environment. Cows require huge amounts of land and water, and they produce greenhouse gases, which are one of the major causes of climate change. In order to make a regular hamburger, it takes the same amount of water as a 10-minute shower, 75 square feet of land, and creates 18 driving miles worth of greenhouse gases. On the other hand, the Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 75% less water, and produces 85%–87% less greenhouse gases than a beef burger does.
If you would like to try the Impossible Burger, it can be found in Texas, Nevada, California and New York. Some restaurants serve it in L.A. and New York City. Check the Impossible Foods website, and you can find the full list of cities and restaurants.
