Impossible Foods is a company in Silicon Valley, California. They make hamburgers and other delicious meat and dairy products(奶制品). There's something very unusual about their food: Their meat and dairy don't come from animals, but from plants. Yes, plants! I didn't believe it at first, but it's true. Thanks to Impossible Foods, you can eat a delicious hamburger that looks and tastes like meat but is made with only plants.
How does the Impossible Hamburger look and taste so real? There is something called heme(亚铁血红素). It's an ingredient(成分) that is in both plants and animals. Heme gives beef its red colour. Impossible Foods uses the heme found in plants, not animals, to make the Impossible Hamburger. It's healthy, and the plant ingredients don't hurt the environment(环境). Clever, isn't it?
So, why does Impossible Foods make Impossible Hamburgers? Well, animal farming uses about 50% of the earth's land and 25% of the earth's water. That's a very expensive way to make food. So, it seems to me that the Impossible Hamburger is a great example of a food of the future—good for the environment and good for your health. Soon it'll be cheap to eat, too!
Maybe you think all of this is science fiction, but it's not. Twenty restaurants in the U. S. now sell the Impossible Hamburger. Soon these delicious hamburgers will be everywhere. In my opinion, it's the best thing to happen to food in years!
