  • Looking at the ingredients list for the burger and chicken nuggets, there’s nothing jumping out at me as particularly unhealthy. Perhaps the sunflower oil isn’t ideal for pan frying, as it’s not a particularly stable oil at high temps unless it’s the high-oleic varity, but the coconut oil will hold up fine. Considering red meat has some fairly solid evidence now of increasing cancer risk, I suspect an impossible burger is potentially healthier than a real one.

    Beyond meat (the competitor to impossible) used to use some nasty oils that would oxidize during cooking and become quite unhealthy, but they recently reformulated using avacado oil, so they’re pretty solid now too, health wise. I think they have a slightly off flavor compared to impossible though.
