Your vegans were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should.

The Impossible Burger is made from several ingredients, although the main ones consist of wheat, coconut oil, potato protein, and heme. If you’re not familiar with the latter, it’s an iron-containing compound found in hemoglobin, the red pigment in our blood, which can also be derived from nitrogen-fixing plants. According to the outfit, heme is the molecule that gives the meat that undeniable meat flavor, allowing their plant-derived burgers to mimic the previously inimitable taste. Heme, by the way, also turns red when exposed to oxygen, allowing these burgers to looks as bloody as erstwhile regular meat.
