The Impossible Burger is a burger that tastes exactly like beef, but it was made using vegetables and science. There are many kinds of "veggie burgers" for vegetarians (素食者),but this one is made for meat lovers. The company that makes this burger, Impossible Foods,wants to change the food that people eat to reduce climate change.
Scientist Celeste works on the flavor (风味) and texture (纹理) of the burger. She looks for the key points of beef its flavor smell and look. Then those points are copied using plant based ingredients (成分),which make the burger look and taste like blood and give it a meaty texture.
The Impossible Burger has the same nutrition as beef, without the unhealthy parts. In fact, taste, nutrition and reducing climate change were all equally important when creating the burger.
Cows are actually terrible for the environment. They need lots of land and water, and they create greenhouse gases. However, an Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 75% less water, and creates 85-87% less greenhouse gases than a beef burger.
That's why this burger was made for meat lovers. The goal is for them to eat less meat in order to protect environment. At the same time they can still eat delicious burgers that taste like real meat.
