People think this stuff is healthier for you, but it's just not. Its engineered in a lab and has a ton of additives in it. If your eating it to save the environment or are vegan that's one thing, but if your eating it to be healthier than eh...there are better options. 

Sorry to hear that; I think BM is SO delicious, I will sometimes grab one instead of a burger, the odd time I go for fast food (but I already eat FF MAYBE twice a month, so it's really few and far-between).

My sister has been vegan for nearly 10 years now, so I've eaten a crap-ton of the imitations, the plant-based meat (like Beyond, Impossible, LightLife, etc.) and the just pure vegan stuff in general; a lot of it is nasty, a lot of it is delicious, some of it is, "meh."

I will say that for the imitators, chicken/poultry is far and away the most-nasty; there is rarely a good vegan product that is a chicken or turkey imitator.

I did get a cookbook, back in 2014 (literally only bought it because of the swearing in it... but the recipes are PHENOMENAL) that is vegan and after making a bunch of recipes, got the second book... then got the third lol. I've made... I'd say around 30 of the dishes/meals from those cookbooks and I must say, they have all been superb, save for one or two; they don't require you to buy imitators or even make imitators, just delicious plant meals, like bean burgers, vegan pancakes and waffles (their recipes for both are insanely-good), vegan desserts, etc.

I actually made their vegan Buckeyes once and they were so damn good; a great, State sweet!
