Shortening the Food Chain

I watch this show on the Planet Green channel called "Future Food". It's a really interesting show where they are very inventive with food and have a theme each episode that they follow. They use a lot of those funky ingredients like gelling agents,foams and stuff I'm sure would be difficult for us to incorporate into our home kitchens,but nonetheless they are fun to watch. Last night they had a burger episode. They wanted to make a burger out of just the things that a cow eats. The ingredients were:

• corn that they charred
• beets that they juiced(I think they only used the pulp but I'm not sure)
• oats
  
• corn starch that they "disturbed" with sonic beams to mimic fat

I would love to try this burger,they were saying that it tasted like a real one. Since I don't have access to a sonic beam machine I'm pretty sure that won't be happening though =(.

So after they all developed their recipes, they took them to the streets so people could taste them and vote. Burger 1 was a regular beef burger,burger 2 was a veggie burger made with soybeans,spinach and other veggies and burger 3 was the beet burger. The winner was the veggie burger which was awesome. Everyone said how flavorful it was, I just was a little concerned because it looked like fried baby poop. Oh well,I give these guys mad props for doing things like that and helping people see how wonderful and delicious meatless food can be. I think I may do some experimenting and see if I can't mimic that beet burger...
