Morningstar soyburgers aren't bad. They don't pretend to be hamburgers but some of them have interesting taste and texture.

Boca seems to be all grey mystery meat simulation, regardless of box illustration (serving suggestion, it says).

At greasy spoon restaurants, you will often see pre-cooked burger patties warming in a large rectangular container of grease. When someone orders a burger, they pluck one out and grill it for a few seconds before slapping it on the bun. That seems to be pretty much the same as those canned burgers.

There's probably lots of cases of these in long forgotten fallout shelters all under America.

After 20 years in the military more than 50 years ago I ate everything and liked it. 30 year old powdered eggs for breakfast, field rations, mystery meat, slop. But my favorite shift was nights because I could eat breakfast at midnight AND at 8 in the morning after getting off shift and of course I ate lunch and dinner too because for some reason I actually liked chow hall food.

My favorite dinner at 0300 a-bounce in a 130 was pork steaks in brown gravy -- out of rations older than I, included: 4 lucky strike cancer sticks.

The food boxes that poor people in America receive have a big can of cooked ground beef inside. But it's not formed into hamburgers. I think that hamburgers would be better. And as far as that goes, they could make the hamburgers with fifty percent soy protein; people wouldn't care. But Burger King would have a fit. And so would Tyson Foods. They don't want people to know that soy-protein burgers taste good. Then people would realize that the "Impossible Burger" is impossibly horrible, on purpose. Remember: We must eat more cows! And just to show you how crooked the cow business really is, look at this link which shows the four biggest cattle slaughterhouses: https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/09/17/yup-80-of-our-beef-comes-from-4-producers.aspx

As you can see, these companies are called "Producers". That's a sleight-of-hand trick to avoid naming the actual cattle ranchers. Why do they do this? Because the ranchers illegally stuff the cows full of anti-biotics, and then illegally bribe the Congressmen, so that they can feed the cows on public land for free. They don't want their names in the newspaper. And they sure as hell don't want people to discuss the morality of the bloodthirsty murder of millions of God's creatures.

Trying to comprehend your logic. Did Burger King put hamburger in the food boxes? Assuming Tyson WAS putting meat in the boxes, they will do whatever the minimal cost is to fill the contract. Which would have included 50% soy protein IF it was allowed & they could do it at a lower cost.
To claim that farmers are illegally using anti-botics is you talking out of you backside. Example is the test for penicillin in milk: 10 parts per is the legal limit. The test is actually sensitive to 2 parts per. So milk that would meet the 10 could still be being dumped down to the range of the 2-10.
FDA spent 2 years testing 100's (1000's?) of random samples from store shelves for various drugs. What they reported at the end was about 15 items had some level of drug. What they didn't tell was if it was including that some of the tests were more sensitive that the law required.
Is there a way to legally bribe the congress persons?

If you want to kill some time wallowing in this kind of stuff, check out Lileks. It's pretty funny.

Canned hamburgers! Clever!

When I was a kid (over 50 years ago) I'd often enjoy some kind of vegeburger out of a can. It wasn't close to a real burger but it was a great sandwich in its own right. Loma Linda brand, I think. They also had a fun fake hot dog--like eating hazelnut Jello on a bun.

The characteristic consumer packaged goods sales pitch in the '50s was "Labor Saving".

For example, this ad shows us how Swift's Canned Premium Hamburgers has freed up the consumer's time to artfully carve a radish for garnish.

If you don't serve your burgers with an artfully carved radish, you are sadly behind the times, my friend.

I bet those would be good steamed. Mmm, steamed hams!

I don't remember if they were Swifts Premium, But my mom sometimes cooked Canned Hamburgers.

She dried them off with a towel, (not a paper towel, this was before such were common)

Fried them in bacon grease.

They weren't bad.
