If you were wondering why Katy Perry dressed up as an Impossible Burger at the Met Gala last week, it would seem that the pop star has a personal steak (sorry, had to) in the plant-based meat company. As Reuters reported, a slew of celebrities just made significant investments totaling $300 million in Impossible Foods. 

The company is now worth $2 billion.

In case you're unfamiliar, Impossible Foods is a food technology company famous for its Impossible Burger, an entirely plant-based patty that is designed to look, taste, and even bleed like beef. Vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike have all applauded the burger for expertly mimicking meat but without the same environmental, animal welfare, or health concerns.
