Amid the current hoopla surrounding their standing, there are other important issues we would like to reiterate. 

When companies like Impossible Foods use words like “plant-based,” they’re trying to evoke images of healthy food. Don't be fooled. It is an ultra-processed GMO soy byproduct.

It contains 46 new proteins never before consumed in the human diet created with SynBio. We've heard from quite a few supporters who said the Impossible Burger made them sick. The safety study lasted only 28 days.

Impossible Foods should really be called Impossible Patents. It’s not food; it’s software, intellectual property — 14 patents, in fact, in each bite of Impossible Burger with over 100 additional patents pending for animal proxies from chicken to fish.

We avidly support plant-based eating, but lack of transparency in getting GE Impossible Burger in restaurants, stores and schools highlights a troubling deregulatory trend that prioritizes corporate profit over public health and safety.

The percentage of shoppers who have eaten Impossible products say they’re less likely to eat as much going forward. Smart decision. bloomberg.com/news/articles/

you blindly echo the myth that as people get richer they eat more meat .Indians continue to be vegetarians even when they become rich .Food cultures are shaped by cultural & ecological values .Your #fakefood fails tests of bio cultural diversity,democracy & ecology

Oh no, I hear you say, we want people to eat less meat and dairy. And we have a brilliant strategy: er, ask them nicely. In other words, you want to break the entire trend of modern history: as people get richer, they eat more meat. By handwaving. Good luck with that.

“In order to truly do something to derail the runaway train that is the Great Food Reset, we must first understand it. And in order to understand it, we have to know something about the people behind this agenda.” — James Corbett

Food and cultures are the real currency of life . Indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with the Earth for thousands of years vs. the modern world spanning 500 years of colonialism and 300 years of industrialisation covers a relatively shorter time in history.
