Burger King is introducing a Whopper made with a vegetarian patty from the start-up Impossible Foods.

The Impossible Whopper, as it will be known, is the biggest validation  and expansion opportunity  for a young industry that is looking to mimic and replace meat with plant-based alternatives. 

The vegetarian burger made by Beyond Meat has been available at over a thousand Carl’s Jr. restaurants since January and the company is now moving toward an initial public offering.

Burger King’s chief marketing officer, said that in the company’s testing so far, customers and even employees had not been able to tell the difference between the old meaty Whopper and the new veggie one.

The Supreme Court held that Missouri can execute a man who claims to suffer from a medical condition that will make lethal injection excruciatingly painful.
The case concerned Russell Bucklew, a convicted murderer and rapist who suffers from an extremely rare disease called cavernous hemangioma, which causes blood-filled tumors to grow around his head and neck.
Bucklew's attorneys argued that lethal injection will cause Bucklew to suffer from the feeling that he's suffocating for several minutes during the execution. For Bucklew, they argued, the punishment is cruel and unusual, even if it the method is permissible for others.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who wrote the opinion of the court, said that the Constitution's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment does not mean that executions must be painless.

He didn't have heart for those when he raped and murdered.  Just a thought.
