impossible foods, animal testing & the controversy

kombucha hour podcast

welcome to episode five of kombucha hour. in today's episode we will be discussing the contraversy surrounding the new impossible burger whopper at burger king and their animal testing. this is a hot topic in the vegan community as of late. some vegans believe you are not vegan if you consume the burger, some vegans believe you are plant based if you consume it and others see a bigger picture. in the first half of the episode, i discuss the actual study conducted on animals (rats) in order for impossible foods to receive their GRAS certification through the FDA. i also give tips on how to order vegan at most fast food chains. around 43:33 i start to give my personal opinion on the impossible burger, their brand & how i feel as a vegan about their testing on animals. towards the end around 1:07:38, i discuss the frustration associated with living in a non vegan world that is full of everyday products that have ingredients that were once tested on animals. so sit back, grab a kombucha and enjoy the episode!
