$BYND
- Thread starter Cuddles
- Start date
Just bought our first BYND burgers.
Lots of packaging, the kind of thing that shows up in the back of consumer reports. Plastic tray, plastic wrap, cardboard cover
Only 8 oz total, on sale for 4.99
Odor while cooking was not palatable.
Ingredient list not easy to understand.
Young male cashier had never tasted one.
Taste better than it smelled.
Taste better with some ketchup

Meatless Burgers Stoke Sales and Questions About Nutrition

Plant-based burger makers say their products are better for the planet than beef. Whether they are better for consumers’ health is a different question.
Debate over the nutritional merits of patties made from soy, peas, coconut and other plants is growing as meatless products stampede into tens of thousands of supermarkets and restaurants, and their manufacturers rush to ramp up production.
Beyond Meat Inc. BYND -10.72% and Impossible Foods Inc. say their plant-based products contain less cholesterol and saturated fats than other meats. Some nutritionists point out that they contain almost as many calories and more sodium than beef and that they are highly processed.
“People assume that because it’s plant-based, it’s instantly healthy food,” said Desiree Nielsen, a dietitian who advises clients on eating and hosts a vegetarian cooking show on Amazon Prime. “That’s clearly not the case.”

I didn’t like it either. The impossible burger that I had from Burger King tasted better. I’ve only had one of each to taste and don’t think I’d be eating them ever again. Sell for sure.
I like the vegiFi burger from burger fi or any black bean , quinoa based patty that was recently hand made. Like many restaurants offer nowadays. Patties made in a lab to mimic meat you can keep.
There seems to be two type of plant based veggie burger lovers...Those who want the burger to mimic meat,and the others who are more "organic" and prefer the type of burger you like...The big money is obviously in the mimic meat type,but your health is probably best served with grain/bean/veg type patties
I missed this one.
Quick reply here. Beyond gets the best ratings of veggie burgers in every review I see online.
And that is saying something, because as a carnivore myself, I have tried the Morningstars, and they are not bad (But Boca burgers are just nasty). And the Morningstars rate TERRIBLE in reviews in comparison to Beyond.
Beyond's second offering tanked the stock? I don't know the mechanism for that, I am guessing that is like a stock split, in a way? Take it north for a couple of years until the beef industry can get through their ID crap and align themselves with reality. They are all clustering overthere.
And I totally appreciate that view man. That's my view on Tesla, because I don't think EV can work, ever, until we start seeing alarms on crude supplies.
But this veggie food shit is so quick and in-yer-face right NOW.
If Beyond has good management practices, does not spend too much, does their books properly, doesn't suffer any corporate malfeasance, they and their stock could do well.
May Brahma save the cow. Go Hindus! Because the less cows we kill, the more methane they release! Go go global warming!
