Yes, it is better! Part of the goal is to provide a "gateway patty" to make it easier for meat-eaters to reduce their consumption. Good for their health, good for the environment, good for the animals.

(Also, I've been vegan for years and _love_ the Impossible burger.)

I guess over the years I've lost some perspective :). Thanks for your reply.

> Good for their health

It's definitely not clear that eating meat is bad for your health. In fact there's plenty of evidence to suggest it's good for you.

Also the impossible burger has about the same amount of calories as an 80% lean ground beef burger, so it's no better as far as calories are concerned.
