I’m not going to apologise for liking an Impossible or Beyond burger every now and then. Sometimes I feel like I should, given the criticism they face for being highly processed, not focused on recognisable vegetables, etc. (Cue the self-righteous, “gotcha!” commenters with their tired “Why would vegetarians and vegans want something that reminds them of meat?” questions.)
Instead, I want to focus on how easy they can be to cook and what a boon they can be to plant-based eaters like me who, yes, enjoy the taste and texture of a well-made burger but don’t want it to be made of animals.
