Plant based burgers look more like a fad than a growing trend.
Nah even if you're not a pinko commie there are plenty of benefits to avoiding eating meat a few days a week and more people (particularly the most influential generation right now - millennials) are choosing to eat plants over meat. There are substantial environmental costs (methane production, tons of water use, etc) that we will need to be more aware of as we approach the 15-20 billion people mark. I'm not big into the "invest your heart" kind of trading but this is one place I'd like to see more work in.
I'll just leave this here...

Personally, if I could buy this at around the cost of 90% lean beef I'd eat it 2-3 days a week no problem. BYND's offering is bean-based iirc making it also convenient for people worried about phyto- and xeno-estrogen intake. There's nothing to lose unless you attach your identity to eating cow parts every day of your life. I love myself a steak, but I'd probably love it more if it was a treat - you know?
Is this supposed to run counter to what I said or something? Like me supporting alternative meats means I support soylent green? Are you an idiot? Hold that thought, you did just link breitbart. Next you'll tell me the people on Coast To Coast can actually read my mind through the radio!
Soy will reduce your testosterone and probably will make you more feminine.
Less testosterone equals less physical power and brain mass, especially when you are growing.
Stick to natural food, not processed food. Vegan food are mostly heavily processed.
