Wish their products had less fat in them. They're tasty, but nutritionally they're a whole lot of canola oil.

Re: Beyond Meat fights for survival
#12I feel like I'm the ideal customer for Beyond Meat and its competitors. I am not price sensitive, I don't mind the idea of plant based meat products, and I am willing to try new things. My biggest reasons for not buying Beyond Meat are that I: 1. Would rather not cook, and eating Beyond Meat in a way that's financially meaningful for them as a company means me cooking 2. If I'm going to put in the effort to cook, I w…
For your own health, I implore you to explore even the most basic of cooking.

#13I think the problem is that crappy supermarket meat is really cheap, and most people don't seem to care about the quality of the meat. For those people, it's hard to justify buying a more expensive product that's not even meat.
I wonder if reducing the price (without selling at a loss) would increase sales enough to offset the lower revenue

The crappy supermarket meat is actually incredibly nutritious it just has dubious ethics for an apparently vanishingly small market segment.

#15Any employees here, sorry what morale must be like at work (I’d guess) & hope you get great offers elsewhere!
Re: Beyond Meat fights for survival
#16I've been vegetarian for about 8 years and won't buy them and try to avoid them in restaurants because they're too meat-like. Unfortunately they've made good non-fake meat vegetarian burgers (black bean, wild rice, etc) harder to find. It's a situation of "You know that thing you don't eat, don't like, and don't have cravings for anymore? We made something that tastes exactly like it. You're going to love it!" I'm gl…
I'm not a vegetarian and I buy them exactly because they're meat-like.
You're literally not supporting a company which, as you admit, made your life more pleasant. And might potentially do so for others.
I'm confused.

#17It’s always been awful IMO. Tastes like sawdust with a congealed vegetable oil binder and chemical flavorings that approximate meat. A straight up bean burger is better and far less processed.

#18Other faux-meat companies like Impossible seem to be doing better. Maybe Beyond's product is inferior? Personally, I don't choose it over Impossible.
The article says that impossible food has gone down 50% (the stock price)
Re: Beyond Meat fights for survival
#19This is too bad. Beyond and Impossible opened up the door to me gradually becoming vegan. It was similar enough to real meat that I didn’t miss meat anymore, and from there I found other substitutions which were healthier. Without them I’m sure I never would have started a plant-based diet.
What have you substituted cheese with? It's one of my favorite foods but no substitute has come close to it
Re: Beyond Meat fights for survival
#20Last I looked, there was an awful lot of saturated fat in their burgers. I tended to order something other than a veggie burger when their was the only one on the menu.
