'MURICA — Burger King has dropped the plant-based Impossible Whopper burger throughout its stores across the Good 'Ol U.S. of A. <br /><br />According to Today, B.K. announced last week that its meatless option would be available 'Murica-wide starting today. <br /><br /> According to FoodBev, the burger is made from meat-free patties pumped out by California-based Impossible Food. It will be offered for a limited time starting this week.<br />The Impossible Whopper features a flame-grilled plant patty with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup and pickles on a toasted sesame seed bun.<br />Unfortunately, for vegans and vegetarians, the Impossible Whopper may be impossible for them to eat as the Impossible patties will be cooked on the same broiler used for beef and chicken. <br />Another thing that annoys vegans is that the Impossible Whopper has mayo, which is made with eggs. <br /><br />So for people who eat normally, that's an added bonus—eating a plant-based burger and getting to annoy ultra-annoying vegans. <br />But if you're looking to shed some pounds, the Impossible Whopper may not be the way to go as it contains nearly the same amount of calories as a regular Whopper and actually has more carbs and sodium than the meaty option. <br />Either way, introducing a plant-based burger option to the U.S. is a step in the right direction.
