The Impossible Whopper is coming to every Burger King in America next week
Burger King will start selling its meatless Whopper across the United States on August 8, the biggest rollout for Impossible's plant-based product.
The burger chain has been selling the Impossible Whopper, featuring a meatless patty made by Impossible Foods, in a few markets in the United States since April. It first tested the product in St. Louis before announcing in May that it would offer the Impossible Whopper nationally this year.
Interest in plant-based protein has surged as many people try to reduce their meat intake for health or environmental reasons. US retail sales of plant-based foods have grown 11% in the past year, according to a July report from trade group Plant Based Foods Association and the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that supports plant-based businesses.

A tax on meat products in the same fashion as the car insurance tax where if you refuse to put a GPS tracker box in your car you have to pay more. On top of the halal tax of course.

I dunno, I think that every place should have some kind of vegetarian offering, makes it a lot less of a pain in the ass when it's dinnertime with that annoyingly vegetarian woman you're dating.
But yeah, this is all deliberate UN bullshit, normalizing eating bugs so they can run a starvation-based slave economy of overpopulation to maintain infinite financial growth for the shareowner classes. Yeah, no -- you can pry my big, bloody beefsteaks from my cold, dead hands.
