I've Been Vegetarian For 4 Years, and I Don't Miss Meat at All

"What's the first thing you want to eat when you get back home?" my Thimphu hosts asked. I'd spent the past few weeks nannying my cousin's kids in a remote region of eastern Bhutan, and food hadn't been particularly plentiful there. I was hungry often and even ended up losing weight unintentionally, so as grateful as I was for the whole experience, I was thrilled to be slowly making my way back to the US and its abundant supermarkets, all-you-can-eat buffets, and wide variety of restaurants.
"A cheeseburger," I replied. I hadn't eaten meat for the duration of my weeks-long stay in Bhutan, and while I'd harbored an aversion to meat for as long as I could remember, I did have a penchant for cheeseburgers. In fact, I'd missed burgers so much while I was in Bhutan that I only made it as far as the Bangkok international airport before ordering one — that I didn't finish. I ate every last fry and drained my drink, but from the taste to the texture, the burger was utterly disappointing.

It’s surely no accident that McPlant retains its corporate prefix.

Having watched warily from the wings, McDonald’s Corp. is finally entering the modern meatless-market with a menu of herbivorous items. Top of the list is the plant-based burger, McPlant:
“There are other plant-based burgers out there, but the McPlant delivers our iconic taste in a sink-your-teeth-in (and wipe-your-mouth) kind of sandwich. It’s made with a juicy, plant-based patty and served on a warm, sesame seed bun with all the classic toppings.”
Although McPlant is a notable pivot for a company that grinds through a billion pounds of American beef each year, McDonald’s is being a soupçon coy: The “other plant-based burgers” to which they allude include Burger King’s Impossible Whopper, Wendy’s The Plantiful, White Castle’s Impossible Sliders, and Carl’s Jr. Beyond Burger — as well as groundbreaking consumer products from Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, and Kellogg’s Incogmeato.

The "P.L.T." sandwich is arranged for a photograph at a McDonald's Corp. restaurant in London, Ontario, Canada, on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020. Fifty-two McDonald's locations in southwestern Ontario will now serve the "P.L.T." -- plant, lettuce and tomato that feature Beyond Meat's pea-based patties-- for 12 weeks starting Jan. 14.

Rapper Stic.man was a 20-year-old in Brooklyn trying to get a record deal, deep in what his wife calls the original hip-hop lifestyle: burgers, blunts and booze.
"I had picked up some bad habits, smoking herb all the time, drinking every day in the urban obstacle course," says Stic.man, a.k.a. Khnum Muata Ibomu but born Clayton Gavin. "I woke up one morning and my ankle was gigantically swollen, and I found out I had gout. That was my wake-up call. It was a blessing that revealed my path."

Impossible Foods' new Burger King breakfast sandwich is launching in 139 test locations, but it has not said when its meatless ground pork is coming.

Demi and her attendees enjoyed bites from Umami Burger such as their Impossible Sliders, signature burger sliders, crispy chicken sliders and sweet potato fries while Sugar Factory provided candy and sweets.
“Last night was so sick… thanks to @hydesunset @sbecollection @umamiburger 🎈💀🤡👻🎃🖤💋,”
Demi captioned with her Instagram post.
FYI: Guests in attendance hydrated with Fiji Water, kept energized with Red Bull, and featured specialty cocktails by Carbonadi vodka and Jaja Tequila, Peroni beer and Besa Mi Vino organic canned wine.
