I wasn't going to post this, you can order vegan/vegetarian on flights, its no big deal. But the hysterical reactions down here from the meat board and some politicians were just ridiculous. I think I would try it, but I don't know about tasting like meat part.

If it looks like meat, smells like meat, tastes like meat, even "bleeds" like meat, it must be meat, right?
Not so fast, says Silicon Valley company Impossible Foods which has spent the last six years doing something not quite impossible but certainly unexpected – making a plant-based burger that replicates the sensory experience of meat such as taste, texture, juiciness and mouth-feel, with plant- based alternatives that use considerably fewer resources. And one that tastes, dare I say it, better than meat.
