Do plant-based meats make a better burger?
Speed readWhat’s happening: There may be no food more American than the hamburger. An estimated 50 billion of them are eaten every year in the United States. Now there are new meat-free alternatives popping up on restaurant menus across the country. The lion's share of the non-beef burger market is dominated by two products: the Impossible Burger and the Beyond Burger.
But just because the burgers aren't made of meat, doesn't necessarily mean they're healthy, some argue. Impossible and Beyond Burgers contain saturated fats and high amounts of sodium, but have a lot less cholesterol than a beef patty. What's next: The market for plant-based burgers is growing rapidly and more restaurants are adding them to their menus. That doesn't mean the classic beef burger is going away. Demand for meat increased to a record high in 2018. Since plant-based burgers are a brand-new food, it will take time to know what are the long-term health effects.
