They mention that (in the US) pets consume a significant quantity of meat, understandably. An interesting datapoint: our dog will eat Beyond Beef, and of course my wife's actual beef, but shuns Impossible Burger. I wonder why. I've repeated the experiment across numerous dinners.

I've tried the beyond burger in two different occasions and both times it had the foulest smell, reminiscent of a burnt tire.

I wonder whether there's some genetic variation that causes some of us to be revolted by it, like some people who can't stand the taste of cilantro or Brussels sprouts.

I don't get the burnt tire smell, but Beyond has a very strange aftertaste to me, and does not sit well in my stomach at all. Impossible on the other hand is delicious and digests just fine.

So now you're saying that everybody's dogs are causing global warming and Peta was right?
