Land that isn’t being used for cows or other crops can be reclaimed by natural vegetation. Livestock takes up a TON of land that could be used to grow other crops that have smaller carbon footprint (less cows = less cow farts = less greenhouse gas emissions). (But please note that this study was commissioned by Beyond Meat, so it’s totally biased). This study conducted by the Centre for Sustainable Systems at the University of Michigan found that the Beyond Burger generated 90% less greenhouse gas emissions and 46% less energy. We can’t conclusively say “plant-based meat is better for the environment is better than eating real beef” because we’re not scientists and haven’t studied the full impact. (We’re preparing ourselves for the comments from angry vegans.) If you research the impact of plant-based meat vs real beef or vegetarian diets vs omnivores, you’ll see mixed results - some studies say vegetarian or vegan is better for the environment, others say that it depends or that flexitarian is better. Why Plant-Based Meat? Should I Become a Vegetarian? When the Impossible Burger is available in Canada, we’ll definitely try it! So in the meantime, we tried Beyond Meat and that other sh*tty “burger” that we will not talk about. ( “Psst, yo, you wanna buy some burgers?”) Is that legal? We don’t know.Īccording to this article, Impossible Foods just got the green light to launch its plant-based burgers in Canada. What we think happened is that someone brought some up from the US and sold them. Or at least, the people commenting were likely telling the truth at the time. Now if you live in Edmonton (there is a small chance you’re one of our friends, hi), then we want to let you know: they do not carry the Impossible Burger! Womp womp. And by that, we mean we went to Earth’s General Store in Edmonton, AB because this reddit post led us to believe they carried it. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait, why didn’t you try the Impossible Burger too?” Why Didn’t You Try The Impossible Burger?
