    Jokes on you Nathan’s, now I know Impossible makes hot dogs and want to get some. Their brats are pretty good, didn’t know they made hot dogs.

      Yes but are these Impossible Hot Dogs made from the dregs of plants that were too disgusting to use for any other purpose? If they can’t meet that high bar then I don’t know if I even want them.

      For real. They’re practically toppings vessels for me anyway. If Impossible dogs don’t give you the hot dog burps, I’ll never eat another beef frank.

      My only problems with Impossible products is they’re usually quite a bit saltier than actual meat and of course that it’s usually more expensive then meat products. If they fixed both of those problems I’d be okay with replacing a good percentage of my meat consumption with them.

        I am once again asking for meat and dairy subsidies to be shifted to alternatives.

        I’m perfectly happy with oat milk, especially in how it keeps longer, but not it being twice the price per gallon.

        It’s been a little while since I checked, but the last time I was thinking of making chilli, I decided against it because the ground beef was too expensive. I use the fattier/cheaper beef, and depending on which store I checked, the Impossible/Beyond products were either slightly cheaper than real meat, or the same price. Of all the shops I checked, the cheapest option ended up being Impossible or Beyond.

        I say this without judgement as a fellow carnist, but you can definitely get away with eating less meat than you think. It’s just a matter of figuring out how to prep and cook other protein sources.

        I’ve got myself up to “almost vegan” except for when visiting family. Next step is bringing my own grillables lol that’ll be to-do, I just know it

      There’s a food truck in my town that serves vegan hot dogs, and they are awesome. If Impossible can manage to make theirs half that good, I’ll probably buy them over the real meat ones even though I’m not a vegan.
