As a millennial who only gave up beef good for them, they have me beat. The second a lab grown option opens up I will be the first one finding out if over consumption causes any problems.
As someone who also gave up beef, I honestly can heartily recommend Impossible meat. I genuinely find it indistinguishable from the real thing, and even prefer impossible burgers (they cook beautifully in an air fryer) to the real thing. Their steak bites, chicken nuggets, and meatballs are also superb.
It goes on sale somewhat regularly, would highly recommend trying it out and stocking up to freeze on those sales if you end up liking it!
Thats what I usually order or a turkey burger at restaurants. It definitely scratches the itch and it’s fun to see how chefs personalize it. Fun fact: this year was the first year I saw the impossible option cheaper than the real (in an airport so pricing is weird).
I could see that being a problem for those who are sensitive to sodium. From what I recall though, higher sodium intakes are generally only negative or raise blood pressure if not combined with an adequate amount of potassium. The soy in impossible is naturally quite high in potassium already, which can also be combined with lite salt to further increase potassium intake.

The problem with impossible burgers is the super high sodium.
Still is healthier than Beef.
