Plant-based meats may reduce resources normally needed for raising animals...but there may be other concerns for consideration (e.g. overuse of fertilizer, lack of crop diversity, etc.)

I've tried vegetable alternatives such as veg burgers while some taste the same as some regular burgers they miss that special something. They miss that taste.

Beyond Burger ingredients:
"Water, Pea Protein*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Beet Juice Extract (for color)"
Yeah, that looks healthy and sustainable. Blech. Just get a nice grass fed burger. Cattle are raised in some places where not much else can be done with the land. It's only when we crowd them onto feedlots and pour grain down them that we ruin the nutrition and sustainability of a nice cut of lean beef.
