Although it was not the first social media site it is currently the most popular with over 2.23 billion users.
Many people on Facebook like to share pictures and videos. Some of these videos are even streamed (shared) live.

Let’s look at the nutritional facts for two of the burgers made by the Impossible Foods company - the New Impossible Burger and the Original Impossible Burger.
