Fighting climate change with plant-based burgers

The Amazon rainforest is burning, largely a direct result of ranchers clearing land to raise cattle. Amid mounting environmental concerns, some diners are turning to plant-based meat alternatives such as the Impossible Burger.

In 2017, Good Food’s Evan Kleiman tried the plant-based patty for her first time at Crossroads Kitchen, an upscale plant-based restaurant in West Hollywood. The Impossible Burger is designed to mimic the mouthfeel and visual cues of meat, including blood.
