After a vegan cheeseburger crashed and burned Burger King has successfully rolled out a true alternative to meat burgers for vegans working with Impossible Foods to make the vegan Impossible Burger. First thought to be an April Fools joke, the Impossible Burger is now on the menu at St. Louis with one carnivore inclined customer saying that he would not have known that it was plant-based.
Finally, the last barrier to mankind heading for the stars has been reached.

What you are seeing is the effect of a good marketing campaign. They already had a veggie option for a burger...

Lettuce and condiments in a burger wrapper is not as appetizing as it sounds.

They've had a veggie burger (ie with a vegetable-based patty) on the menu for ~15 years. It makes no attempt to taste like meat though. I wish more places had veggie burgers - they can taste even better than meat when done right. Millet patties, bean-based, etc., I've had a lot of good variants due to my vegetarian sisters.
