I live in a plant-protein-free part of Maine, but had to buy these for the youngin's this weekend.

Not for me...(I like Morning Star)...but this negated everything....

I also prefer Morningstar grillers but I have never tasted the Beyond Burger. If I had wanted "bloody" food I would have stuck with the real thing.

To each their own, if they stay away from meat by eating this then I say GO for it, it is just not for me. Gods not at all for me.

so I am stocked. I cannot eat them like I used to because I am not supposed to have grain and cannot eat bread and no condiments except my Veganaise. It makes it harder to use them in anything but I do but I will not notice a price change for a long while yet. Oh how I wish I could eat like I used to. I loved being a vegetarian.

Thanks for the heads up. Damned Trump.

MS burgers for years (bc that's all that was available) I've tried Beyond Burger and liked it, I think because it has the thickness of a burger whereas MS does not, they're skinny/thin.

once or twice but not consistently. That would sure make it better for those with bigger appetites, mmmm.

I tried Impossible, and it was delicious.
The Publix near me was out when I went shopping this weekend... Hoping to grab some tomorrow for meatless Monday.

I thought the exact thing when I picked some up. I feel like 4 burgers could fit in the package that's just two. I think they are trying to make the package compare to a package of hamburger meat and seem more substantial than it really is. But my family likes them so I buy them for grilling.
