 I am genuinely curious what this new plant-based slop tastes like, you know, what they are shoving down the throats of, I guess, a fairly high percentage of the American population. Beyond meats and impossible foods have been all the rave in the media lately. We're going to go over to Burger King tonight and compare the impossible whopper to the regular whopper. At least I'm pretty sure it's the impossible whopper that has more of a ring to it than the beyond whopper. And this is kind of contradictory because I have a gigantic refrigerator full of local, high quality, grass-fed beef. A courtesy of Frankie's Free Range Meat. This is our beautiful local beef package, actually. Really amazing stuff. High quality, fatty beef. And here I am going to Burger King buying this crap. So it's pretty late at night. I've had a long day and I figured this was perfect. I've wanted to do a more vlog-style video and I have a really bad pimple on my cheek from not sleeping. And I was like, well, if I ate this poison, I would have a bunch of these on my face. And I didn't really want to film something and have you guys say something and not be able to be more casual about it. So we're going to drive over to Burger King. There's one, I think about 10 minutes from my parents' house and they're open 24-7. But I actually called them ahead of time just to make sure the burger is cooked on the same surface that the other burgers are. I'm sure they thought I was like a vegan or something because I called them up. I was like, hey, and I was really excited. I was like, hey, do you guys have the new, the fake plant-based burger? And before I said that, I was like, oh, are you guys open till what time tonight? And they're like, oh, we're open 24-7. I was like, oh, well, that sucks for you guys. The girl got a little giggle. And then I was like, oh, you have the plant-based burger? And they were like, yes. And I was like, oh, okay, that's great. So it was cooked on the same surface as the other meats. And then they said, she said, yes. So we're going to go over there, pick some up. We'll take it home and see how it goes. Probably a little too dark for you guys to see my car, but I drive an old Ford Taurus. I drive in Manhattan, so car gets beat up. I don't really want to buy something nicer. It's actually pretty cold out today. I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It's like 47 degrees and raining outside, but I guess I'm a little lazy. I'd rather wear this than put on sweats. It is a dark and rainy night for a dark and rainy occasion. I don't know if I've ever been to a Burger King in general. I'm not really sure. Hi, I'm good over here. Hey, what's going on? Can I get an impossible whopper and a regular whopper, just the sandwiches? Impossible and a whopper, anything else? No, that's it. Thank you. Some of you guys might remember we compared Wendy's Patties to McDonald's Patties last year for the Carnivore diet purposes. But before that, I hadn't been in a fast food restaurant for, I think, over 10 years. So this is not a usual occurrence. As I said, I don't think I've ever been to a Burger King, little on a lot of other fast food restaurants. I've never tried a whopper. I mean, I've never tried a Big Mac either, but $14 is a steep for this gym. I had two pounds of grass-fed beef while Frankie's free-range meat. I wonder how much of a metric it is between different fast food restaurants. Oh, that was quick. Thank you. See, now, stuff like that is what I worry about. If they made the sandwich that fast, how can... You know, they had the burgers already ready. I ordered an impossible whopper and a regular whopper. That just means that the burgers were sitting in a heating element or something, like under a lamp, and then they just put it in the bag and gave it to me. Because that was literally less than a minute through the drive-thru. That was ridiculous. Alright, maybe two minutes, but there is no way I was in that drive-thru for longer than two minutes. So, does it really matter if this stuff is fresh? I don't really think so with the amount of preservatives and shit in it, but I guess we better make sure it's hot when we eat it. I don't know about you guys, but driving when it's this dark outside in the rain, you know, like where the sky is completely black, this is difficult, man. I have good night vision, and I can't imagine the average person, you know, trying to drive on this at night. It's like pitch black. You've got people with their high beams in the other lane. All this for two poisonous burgers. I'm sitting here complaining how much I can't see. I'm still driving like 10 over the speed limit in a shit box of a car that has the worst goddamn brakes in the world. It shows you how much I actually value my advice. Maybe it's just the super high retinol content in a carnivore diet. The amazingly high animal-based vitamin A only found in animal foods that is allowing me to perceive this road unlike any human being before. That being said, that guy just flew past me in a BMW, and I'm sure he's not on a carnivore diet. But, I'm sure if I was in a BMW on the carnivore diet, I'd be going even faster than that. Just as I'm pulling down my street, there's this guy walking his dog 10.30 p.m. at night, all black, rainy, cold outside. One reason I don't own a dog, so what are you going to do? But we got the goods. And ironically, this is probably, is it worse for you than dog food? No, I think dog food is better for you, and it probably tastes better too. Speaking of dogs and dog food, in general, the standard American diet is far worse than dog food or cat food. If you ate dog food which is mostly meat, the nutrient content is definitely higher than a human diet, and it's probably less inflammatory. And I think, you know, I'm sure like dog treats and stuff taste good compared to, you know, the shit people you're just eating. I'm actually really excited about this. I wonder what that says about my life in general. I mean, I work a lot and I'm mostly doing things I don't want to do, but this is definitely the most excited I've been, I think in probably months, let alone weeks. So we got the goods from Burger King. Again, skeptical, $14 out the window. Well, compared to how much money I've spent in past vegan or carnivore goes vegan videos, which is usually like $7,500 in vegan food per video. This is a pretty cheap in comparison. So we got some nuts in this. The impossible whopper, flame grilled to perfection with the same meat that this, or well, the same meat that's in this whopper. That's kind of funny, isn't it? That you, they grill the burgers on the same surface? What are you gonna do? So the whopper is 100% beef, no fillers, no preservatives, America's favorite burger. The impossible whopper is flame grilled to perfection. Why would they compromise America's favorite burger with the impossible whopper? Who knows? Now, I've never had an actual whopper before. So I don't really know if I should try this first or this first, but we'll definitely go back and forth between the two. And I'm a beef guy, so we will have the regular one first. Possible whopper. So I just ordered just the sandwich. Like I didn't change it at all. So this is default how it comes. It's, they're warm. I wouldn't say they're hot. The appearance of both is pretty similar. There's like, there's like sweating a little like, you know, some mustard, some sauce mixed on the wrapper. This one's sweating a bit of water. I don't know why there's water in here or what that is. There's some in here too, I guess. So it looks, I don't know what's on a whopper. I thought it was layered, but it's just like lettuce, onion, pickles. It looks like some type of sauce. I think there's cheese on it, but I don't see the cheese. Did they forget the cheese? No, I think there's cheese somewhere on here. Is there? No, they forgot the cheese. Did I have to say with cheese or does a whopper not have cheese? Oh well. Well, there's the burger patty. The plant-based burger is noticeably darker charred. Like the beef whopper doesn't have any charm works on it whatsoever, but the plant-based burger is like really dark black charred. So let's give this a shot. Smells like fast food. This is what the bag is really for. I mean to me, it just tastes like ketchup and pickles. So I don't really taste a burger here. I just taste pickles, ketchup, maybe a little onion. I see why this, you know, appeals to Americans. Ketchup is sweet, you know, pickles give that umami, sour flavor. I mean, I don't have a steak, but what are you going to do? So this is, let me actually see if this on top is cheese or if it's something else. Yeah, I think this is cheese. Oh guys, it says with cheese, but I don't see like a slice of cheese on it. So this is going to be the impossible whopper. I'm just trying to make sure I get everything in one bite like tomato, pickle. I don't know man, definitely a difference. I'm going to go in for that again. Yeah, that was uh, that wasn't enjoyable. Let me try the patties separately and see if I can figure out what that whop taste was. So obviously the beef burger, only ingredients in the patty are beef. I mean it tastes like fast food ground beef. I don't know what they do to give the beef this like specific flavor. In these uh, in these fast food restaurants. I've never had like cooked ground beef that tastes like this. Now I'm going to have a piece of the plant-based burger. They put so much like ketchup and sauce on this plant-based burger that it's like, there's no part of the patty without it on it. It smells, I can't tell what this smells like. I'm sure like one of you super smeller people could, but it's not beef. I just can't put my hands on what this tastes like. Does it taste like meat? Tastes like meat trying, or like it tastes like meat that's trying to be vegetable. Unlike the usual plant-based stuff which is vegetable trying to be meat. This has like protein isolate that was made in the laboratory. This has canola oil, high omega 6 oils. You know the amount of chemicals, preservatives, additives and ingredients to make this plant-based patty taste good is in the dozens. And from a health perspective, this is far more inflammatory. Now both the whopper and the impossible whopper are without a doubt bad for you. I mean I don't think I have to say that, but you know you have this bun. I don't know what the bun ingredients are. I'm assuming it's like refined white flour which is made from inflammatory modern red winter wheat. Has 48 chromosomes. Type of wheat with a gluten structure that's not good for you. I'm assuming there's some type of vegetable oil in the bun as well. Maybe some preservatives. And even the water that's probably used to make these buns is in high quality. Then you have onion, pickles, lettuce, ketchup. Probably not too big of a deal. The vegetables, I mean there's no nutrients in vegetables. There might be herbicides and pesticides sprayed on the vegetables and stuff. But those aren't the biggest concern on this. The bun is definitely very inflammatory, gluten, carbohydrates refined, preservatives. The cheese product, whatever the sauce is on top, we can assume it's high omega 6. It's inflammatory, it's oxidized. The beef patty is the healthiest thing here. Without a doubt by far. Just beef in it. It's not grass-fed beef. It doesn't have the best nutrient profile. It's not free of negative things like atrazine or agrochemicals. So the beef is still a concern here. I would rank, you know, the bun is the worst culprit. The vegetables, probably not that big of a deal. The sauce or the cheese can be a highly processed low quality cheese. And then you have the beef. So in order of worst to best, bun, cheese, accoutrements, beef. This one, though, whereas here the beef is the healthiest thing, I would argue here the plant-based patty is the unhealthiest thing. So the plant-based impossible patty is the worst, followed by the bun and the accoutrements and the other stuff on here aren't that big of a deal. I mean, the cheese is worse than the accoutrements, but I guess let's, you know, I paid $14 for these burgers. So I might as well taste them a couple of times and see what I think. Hey, I see why, man. I see why. You know, a simple carnivore diet, the foods I'm used to eating compared to this. I see why people choke this stuff down all day. You know, I can put some horseradish and some cheese on my cheeseburger and enjoy it just as much. But the bun, the chemicals, the flavor, you know, the stuff people are used to eating in a whopper in these fast food restaurants. You know, they've really figured out a formula to get America fat, sick, and unhealthy and have them enjoy doing it. Now that I brushed my teeth three times and got all that crap out of my mouth, I'll give you guys what I think. So I had a couple more bites of the plant-based burger, a couple more bites of the whopper. From a taste perspective, the plant-based burger just doesn't have as powerful of a flavor. Like the beef doesn't really come through on the regular whopper, but the regular whopper tastes better because when you have the beef, when you have that more powerful flavor, it just brings everything else out. There's something in the regular whopper that tastes better than the impossible whopper. You know, despite the higher amount of charring and grill marks on that impossible burger, I think it has to do with the fat content of the beef and that fat that's in the meat giving it more flavor. You know, just going back and forth several times, even with the patty meat itself, you know, the patty meat didn't really have, they had a slightly different flavor, but it didn't really seem like the plant-based patty tasted that much better or worse than the beef patty from the taste perspective of like a fully cooked, crappy, you know, grain-fed beef burger. But in the sandwich itself, there was a noticeable difference when the flavors came together. But I can see how the public is going to just choke this stuff down like all of the other crap they're eating. I would say maybe the regular whopper is 10% or 15% better tasting, but that's not much of a margin. Now, people might choke down, you know, two or three of these impossible burgers and not care. I think they're doing something better by not having beef, which is absolutely not true, but that can actually happen. That tends to be how things work. And as I was mentioning, you know, how they've engineered these fast foods to activate your flavor receptors. You have your sweet from the ketchup, your umami, your sour from the pickle. You have some creaminess from that sauce on top. I don't even know if there was cheese on this, but you throw cheese on that. That's another element. They've combined many flavor elements to trick your body into thinking you're getting nutrients because any food that tastes good naturally has nutrients in it. You take any fruit or vegetable, you know, fruit tastes good because it's sweet. It has calories. You can't jazz up vegetables without modern science and cooking methods. But if you take meat or cheese or dairy, natural, one ingredient from an animal, it tastes good on its own. That signifies to your body that it's something that can sustain us. So having these foods taste like this is so unnatural. Our bodies are just sucking it down, but there's no nutrients in it, so it's not satiating our appetite. I mean, that's the state of pretty much every food in America, let alone fast food itself. Even a lot of animal products, chicken, pork and beef, the way we're raising the animals now, it's not conducive to a high nutrient content.
