Burger King still sells the “Impossible Whopper”, AKA Bill’s Burgers (he’s heavily invested in Beyond Meat as well), but wants $1.49 more for the meal with lab garbage.

I was at Burger King last night with my spouse and noticed this.

Bill Gates said at one point that he admitted that the fake burgers aren’t as good and the beef industry wants to have labeling laws that make you call them “lab garbage”, which is what they are.

Why would I bother to write this? It gives me an excuse to pull this out after 23 years. I found it on an old back up of my website from when I was 14.

Maybe this is the patented process for Bill’s Burgers too. Anyway, the Burger King deal was a natural fit, as Bill was so evasive and told so many Impossible Whoppers in the US v. Microsoft case that even the judge broke down and laughed.

While Bill tries to claim that these things are more environmentally friendly, they really aren’t. They source the fats for the lab garbage from largely unsustainable practices involving cocoa and coconut oils, and canola oil, and they get the proteins in much the same way, and the damned things have enough sodium to kill a horse. Maybe finishing you off a few years early is good for the planet. Maybe that’s what Uncle Bill meant.
