I have never met anyone confused by what beyond meat is offering and find the complaint that it is false advertising is ridiculous.
I'm a confused person. I thought 'beyond meat' sold lab grown meat, not vegetables that taste like meat.
I think it's fascinating how all these fast-food chains are jumping on artificial meat. It makes perfect sense: meat is expensive and difficult to work with, so low-cost chains like these have been serving really disgustingly low-quality meat for quite some time now; in some cases it could barely even be called meat. Plant-based meat, on the other hand, can be both cheaper and less gross at the same time, and it migh…
Also they've been completely left out of the vegetarian market other than for snacks.
I tried a few different varieties of chick'n nuggets, 90% of the taste is just breading and whatever the sauce so its really not a difficult as you'd imagine to have a substitute
I think it is a rather toxic movement that we are continuing to label things that which they are not. "fried plant-based ‘chicken’" it makes no sense at all A lot of it is egged on by the vegan/vegetarians and is the definition of false advertising. I saw "vegan" mince in the meat section the other day. I feel sorry for the elderly or learning impaired who might be accidentally buying soy substitutes when their bodie…

What combination of words would you like to be used to describe these new foods? Do you feel the same way about soy milk or almond milk?
Is there any plans to expand Beyond Meat, well, beyond USA?

It's honestly great, if nothing else simply because it makes it easier to be vegan - a huge blocker is often the fact that whilst you're on a road trip or similar your options may well be "eat chips or a cold premade sandwich" otherwise.
Though (as I posted in the other thread) I wish it were easier to source decent food on the go.
