Why the Impossible Burger’s ‘blood’ is raising eyebrows

&gt; &quot;The other reason it is controversial is that the Impossible Foods’ leghemoglobin is not produced by soybeans. It is produced in fermenters by yeast that have been genetically modified. Soybean genes were inserted into the yeast that allow the yeast to produce leghemoglobin, which is then extracted, concentrated, and included in the burger recipe. They justify it to their predominantly anti-GMO customer base by saying that, compared to a beef burger, the Impossible Burger uses 96 percent less land, 87 percent less water, and produces 89 percent less greenhouse gas emissions, and 92 percent less aquatic pollutants. Believe that? I don’t. But they are making a case, intentionally or unintentionally, for the safe use of GMOs in our food supply.&quot;<p>I mean, this is a great case for GMOs. &quot;Believe that? I don’t&quot; seems like unwarranted concern trolling and scaremongering based on zero evidence.
