Hunter's comment
If you were to take a quick glance at the burger above you'd probably think it looks decent and and be more than happy to consume it over your regular McDonald's cheeseburger.
What if I told you that this bad boy is made 100% from plants? That's right, Beyond Burger is the world's first plant based burger that looks, cooks and tastes like a beef patty. The middle of the burger even has that juicy red, "beefy" look to it. On top of that, compared to a regular beef patty of similar weight, the Beyond Burger has similar nutritional values.
Let's get one thing straight here, I am not a 'tree hugging vegetarian' per se and I love myself a nice thick steak, but I do care about the earth and the sustainability of resources. This might be a great alternative (sustainable) to traditional beef burgers. I will never be a vegetarian, because I am an omnivore through and through, but I like innovation, am open to change and genuinely think the human population needs an alternative to our current ways of consuming.
Watch this video (not from the company) to get a better understanding of why this burger is so revolutionary. It is backed by Tyson Foods, one of the largest producers of meat products in the world and secondly A&W restaurants across North America began selling the Beyond Burger on their menu last week.
Here are the nutrional values put alongside a regular beef patty, looks pretty good to me. I have yet to try this burger, but I definitely will be in the not too distant future. What are your thoughts? Would love to hear opinions from carnivores, omnivores and herbivores on this subject.

This may not be about cool products but this is worthy to be supported since it falls under science and advancement in food and healthy. This is just my opinion. Keep hunting @jasonshick!

Great Hunt!
I really need to test them! I'm a agricultural student and I'm really happy to see the trend going in the green direction in the past few years. Finally people do realize what we do to our earth and lastly to ourselves. Since the Mc Donalds next to my block closed and a vegan burger place opened I got kind of addicted to plant based burgers.
Just that I have mentioned it. With products advertised like this we still should be careful and not get blinded by the slogan "plant instead of meat". It still can have a huge negative impact to the environment, bio diversity,... if those plants are farmed using not sustainable farming techniques.
Keep on the good work!

You raise a good point here. Yes just because it’s not meat doesn’t mean it is farmed sustainably, another issue we need to look at

I know you all think they're probably not good... Honestly they're pretty great, a touch of artificial after-tase but a great option for feeding a population of ~Billions instead of cows and all the water they need.

Thank you for another hunt! Because Beyond as a company has been around since 2009 with this product, usually this would be rejected. And falling under PG2:
Steemhunt generally covers unique IT or hardware products, including:
Web services
Mobile apps
API, IT solutions, bots, open sources or other types of software
Tech gadgets, hardware, IoT/connected/wearable devices
Games
Innovative Engineering/Design Products
It technically doesn't fall in this category. I wanted to mention that it's an opinion of the mod about flexibility of guidelines but typically this shouldn't fall under PG2 of the guidelines. Upon second review, and future reference posts like these will be rejected.
Congratulations!
This Hunt has been Approved by the Steemhunt Moderation Team!

Cheers for the explanation. The reason I thought it would be okay is that has been worked on over the years since 2009 and the fast food chain A&W just partnered with them last week to put these burgers in all their stores

It's been evolving as a company for sure @jasonshick, but issue too is that it doesn't technically comply with the type of products we allow on steemhunt. Just for future reference!

If the idea is to embrace food science, then shouldn't we be hunting/promoting the lab or the company that came up with idea in the 1st place instead of the burger chain that is using the 'tech'?

With backing from Tyson foods and a partnership with A&W I think this burger might actually catch on... so would you try it?

@jasonshick you've made me so crazy for this burger. At first look i thought it was a "beef burger". Well for me this deserves a big 10. Since i'm into cooking, i love this concept about a new way to live a healthy life yet don't even sacrificing a food that is tasty and appealing. Good hunt and keep on hunting!

Food science can be very interesting. I would be interested to try it and I think if they did make plants actually taste like meat (which isn't beyond what we've thought we could do before with science) that would be pretty awesome. However, my experience with trying vegetarian versions of meat in the past out of curiosity (and my experience with tofu as well), has made me a bit wary of vegetarian food (as in stuff like meat replacements etc, not meals that just naturally don't have meat in them) as I didn't find it to be that nice. This seems closer to true food science I'm guessing than what went into what I tried though, and making things taste like other things is interesting, so it could be a cool thing.
That said I'd hope that they share with people exactly what is in it because meat and hormones etc aren't the only things that can be "bad" for people in food. There are diets for health problems etc that restrict certain vegetables for example and they would need to know what was in the food.
