This is the best news I've heard all week. The more widely vegan "meat" is available, the more likely it is to be adopted by average people and not just dedicated vegans. Reducing the demand for real beef is probably one of the best things we can do in the short term for the environment, due to the amount of land required for cattle farming, and due to the surprising amount of methane emitted by cattle. (see the docu…

Are there stats to back up that non-vegans begin consuming more vegan based meals if they have the option? And I mean more than once. A consumer might try it but then go back to normal. At there good stats on repeat buying on a large scale?

I prefer the taste of impossible but this is great news for the category.

I think either beats any frozen beef that gets served at a cheap fast-food joints while neither comes close to beating fresh, high-quality beef. They can take over the entire bottom of the market which is probably the most unwholesome for the environment.

Agreed, impossible is far superior. Impossible is only $5.99 for 12oz in Trader Joes at the moment

It's also for sale at Costco: $16 for 2 lbs which matches the pricing of the Trader Joes.

>market is hard to read!

The stock market guidelines has been the same for a very, very long time.

Shares collapse on bad news, fall on good news, and rise on no news.
