Well spotted, someone should be paying you for your great contributions.
I’ll stick to my U.K. based beef then eh? And avoid the veg.. limiting exposure as much as possible...By the way am an omnivore will eat anything.
OK so what is the point of this story?
It has no relevance to diabetes its just another story rubbishing and alternative food source and if you want a meat free burger in the USA then try Beyond Meat.
But if your all sitting there smug thinking "well I'm free of it" think again. Glycophosphates are used on a commercial scale in the USA across nearly all their agriculture, which means on the wheat used to make your bun, on the lettuce, tomatoes used to flavour your burger, may also be in the grass that the beef product has eaten before being served to you and of course if the diner uses veg oil odds on it in there as well.
So that means you will also get your dose of Glycophospates as well. Happy eating

Cool save some for me
However that was not what the title of the thread said, in fact it was just a link to news site with nothing more about why.
There are lots of members here that care about nutrition as so we should all be that was not the point, are you for example interested in buying and eating the Impossible Burger? if so then yes I agree the article can be very informative.
Alas, the history of food and what's good or bad for you is littered with junk science or advertising depending on how you view these things.
Had the title said, or even the main article said something along the lines of "anyone looking for alternative meat products might be interested in this...……" then fine, but it was just dropped in and left to see what festers, which so far it is doing.
However, the issue still stands that many agricultural products produced in the USA may well have this weed killer in them so it is not just limited to the burger in question.
Hence my 'minimise" exposure statement.@bulkbiker even UK grass fed meat could have traces through the grass eaten (and supplementary feeding over winter) even if only from spray drift.
well, time for me to bail.it was just dropped in and left to see what festers, which so far it is doing.
