news." >> welcome back to the "overnight news." i'm mola lenghi. lobbyists for the cattle industry are busy these days trying to head off a consumer stampede that threatens their industry. at issue, meatless meat. burger king, dunkin' donuts and subway have all jumped on the plant-based bandwagon, and supermarkets will begin carrying the stuff next month. nearly a dozen states have passed laws barring the companies from calling their products meat, hot dogs or even sausage, and 30 more states are considering legislation. how did this all come about? allison aubrey has the story of impossible foods. >> reporter: at the oakland a's coliseum, there is a new twist

on a summer classic. and julia green is about to get her first taste. >> i have mixed feelings about this plant burger, but all right. here it goes. >> reporter: this is the impossible burger. >> it doesn't taste like plant. >> reporter: so it tastes like the real thing? >> it does. i'm spooked. >> reporter: it looks, cook, even bleeds like the real thing. michelin star restaurants are serving it up, and so is burger king. the guy behind it is a scientist. pat brown is a former professor at stanford. you know, i've been talking to people about you, some of your fellow scientists. the first words that came out were brilliant, the real deal. brown helped revolutionize the way genes are studied. but during a sabbatical, he decided to shake things up even more, to pick what he thought

was the most important problem in the world that he could help solve. >> once i started looking into it very quickly i realized that the problem was the destructive environmental impact of our use of animals in food technology. >> reporter: meat production is a leading cause of deforestation. more than a quarter of all the usable land on the globe is used to graze livestock. on top of this, about 1/3 of all crop land is used to grow food not for people but for these animals. in fact, it takes about seven pounds of feed to produce a single pound of beef. now pat brown knew people would never give up on the taste of meat. so he set out to recreate it. his eureka moment came when he and his team found the very thing that gives beef its beefy taste. it's an iron containing molecule called heem. it is super abundant in animals,

and turns out plants have it too. brown's idea was to get heme from the roots of soy beans. >> it looks like blood. it tastes like blood. >> can i stick my finger in there? >> why not. go ahead. >> yeah, it's like when you skin your knee. yep, tastes like blood. >> reporter: so the heme is what gives blood its raw taste. more surprising is it's what caused the magic to happen when you cook meat. >> reporter: this is really the secret sauce of the impossible burger. along with a mix of vegetable proteins and fats, the heme is the catalyst that helps produce all the flavor and aroma of cooked beef. we feed plants to cows, and cows turn those plants into meat. we are just getting rid of that middle cow. >> reporter: laura kleimann is the senior flavor scientist at impossible foods. >> voila.

>> reporter: it's her job to make sure the burgers taste great. >> reporter: all right. now comes the fun part? >> now comes the fun part. >> reporter: oh, i like that. very juicy. wow. i don't know that i would be able to tell the difference. >> yeah, that's the goal. >> reporter: the company is in the midst of a big scale-up. if all goes as planned, they'll be in burger kings nationwide by the end of the year, and eventually you'll be able to buy the impossible burgener grocery stores. another company has a completely different approach. you ready for this? they want to grow meat in a laboratory. >> i think in a handful of years, the majority of the meat made on this planet won't require killing a single animal. >> reporter: josh tetrick is ceo of just, a food company based in san francisco. you are trying to grow meat in

big vats. >> at the root of it, we're trying help people eat better. all we do is say you don't need billions of animals. you don't need all the land and the water. you need a couple of cells from the best animals. >> reporter: so you're basically saying you don't need to slaughter cow to get great tasting beef. >> no. why would you have to? >> reporter: well, that's the way it's been done for thousands of years. >> for us it's a natural evolution and more efficiency. >> reporter: he gave us a peek at his process. you see these cells? these are cells from a chicken. when they're fed with this mix of liquid nutrients and put in a tank like this one, they divide and grow, and two weeks later, according to just -- >> so now i'm going to show you our cultured chicken. >> reporter: voila. so this is the chicken that grew in the cells right here in this lab? >> exactly. so this is ground chicken, but this is how it looks like. >> reporter: so you're asking me to be your guinea pig? >> i would love you to be my guinea pig. >> reporter: all right. let's try it. so what does it taste like? it tastes like a chicken nugget.

>> need some more. >> reporter: what is the cost of one? like $100? >> a little bit. >> reporter: a thousand dollars? >> i'd say about $200. >> reporter: all right. this is a $200 chicken nugget. well, there is not really a set price since the meat isn't even for sale yet. but eventually the goal is to make it affordable. when are you going to be selling the cell-based meat at the grocery store? >> i think we'll have a small scale commercialization before the end of the year. >> reporter: actually, it will likely be years before cell-based meat is sold in the u.s. but back at impossible foods, pat brown insists the future is now. so you can be able to move beyond the burger? >> oh, of course. we've already made steak proto types. >> reporter: fish? >> fish for sure. >> reporter: and he says every day they get a little better at it. so do you think you're going to be putting the conventional meat business out of business? >> that's the whole purpose of impossible foods. the purpose of impossible foods the purpose of impossible foods is this industry and this

keep it very simple. rookies generally are the books that i read as a child. and the veteran books are sort of what i'm reading now. and i thought it may be a fun way to maybe encourage people that maybe wouldn't read or pick up a book to pick it up. >> reporter: was there a book when you were a kid that you really remember reading or loving a lot? >> yeah, i loved this book "ender's game". >> reporter: punter jeff lock was with the colts during part of training camp in 2017. i think for a lot of people you think book club you think oprah. this is andrew luck, an nfl quarterback. he has a book club. that seems a little crazy to some people. >> the fact that he's got to so much going on. he has a huge playbook to study. he is helping players, he is doing all these other things in the community, to picture him going home and reading a couple of chapters every night and being able to interact with his fans about a book. and i think he interviews. >> reporter: a podcast. >> some of the authors too, he brings them on. >> my very good friend andy
