#12Beyonds sausages imo are much better than their burger.
Impossible is the real burger king in this category

#13And 5x more sodium, which is a shame because I really do like the way they taste.
So is that comparing against plain red meat with no salt added? Because if so that’s not really a fair comparison because you generally add a decent amount of salt to burger whereas you don’t really need to for beyond

#14And if you’ve tried one, just about 99% less taste.
Less taste? That's not a complaint I've heard nor experienced. I've always found Beyond burgers to be a bit strange, sure, kinda like the uncanny valley of hamburger patties, but I certainly never found them to be bland.

#15That's good and all but the taste is still far off from normal. Impossible is a lot better but still not an exact fit.
I agree, but also find joy in the larger “burger experience” (toppings, bun, fries, soda, presentation, etc). I hope I’m not the only one.

So for awhile I liked it and ate it. Then out of nowhere it turned into a thing that when I eat it I, without getting graphic, let’s just call it extreme digestive issues.
I wonder how frequently that occurs. Or am I just odd?

It feels like they're on the right track, but after all the hype, I was a bit disappointed too. It has like a slightly odd oiliness that I didn't think I minded at first but ended up finding quite off-putting.

#20A bag of rice is probably a lot better than a Beyond Burger.
I think you're being facetious, but I kind of agree— I've found more joy in homemade black bean patties, shallow-fried falafel-based sandwiches, etc. Basically I enjoy it more when it's something clearly different that is filling that role, rather than something pretending to be something else.
