What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 418 & BENKYO RADIO 418.

Have you ever tried an “Impossible” Burger? It’s a burger with synthetic meat, made from plants. It’s actually really good, it tastes like the real thing, and it can stop us from our dependency on meat in America. As you know, it’s an industry that is worth almost a trillion dollars, and contributes to Climate Change and Global Warming. I’m not suggesting you quit meat cold-turkey, but maybe after 5 regular burgers, try an impossible burger, then alternate, or something like that. I’m eager to see whenever In-n-Out will have an Impossible Burger with Animal-Style dressing. I bet it will be mighty delicious.

Until Next Time!
