- Plant-based meat alternatives have seen booming interest from consumers, prompting a growing number of companies to enter the space in hopes of carving out a spot for their products in the competitive supermarket aisle.

REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton/File Photo Consumers increasingly want to reduce their meat consumption amid growing concerns over health risks, animal welfare and environmental hazards. Spurred by the success of California-based Beyond Meat BYND.DE, veteran meat companies have also entered the market.

Shoppers at U.S. grocery stores have many plant-based options, with several companies planning to roll out meat alternatives by the end of this year.- Beyond Meat: burgers, sausages, ground meat and crumbles made of protein from peas, brown rice, sunflower seeds and mung beans are available at more than 53,000 retailers and restaurants worldwide.

ما تنشفوا كده خليكم اد كلامكم وبطلوا حك ههه

Good stuff Maynard!

CoryGroshek As ridiculous as having stock farmers try to produce meat that taste and look like celery.

What is the proper handling of this product? Internal cook temp? USDAFoodSafety Ecolab foodsafetygov foodsafeguru

Uh oh vegans. This is made with GMO's!

The Beyond Burger is strictly non-GMO, whereas Impossible Foods recently faced backlash about using genetically modified ingredients that contain the pesticide glyphosate excerpt: via CNET

Da Fuq? No. Just no. Next

No

The sad thing is that it’s actually more money than actual real Meat !!

Don’t get it, why does the veggie industry make meat looking products?

Processed garbage.

I bet they have a price tag as if it was actually meat as well.

I've tried Beyond Meat's burgers and brats, both are incredible. Yummytown

C'mon man, you can eat vegetables on its natural shape without additives others than oil, salt and some especies. You can cut them thin with onion, fry them a little bit and add it to a non-white rice for example. You also can grill with some oil too!

I can’t wait to buy one and feed it to my cow, then eat the cow.

Meat industry should sue to have all meat references removed from packaging. Call it what it is, veggie patty.

No they don’t

Disgusting mush.

10/10 for the effort put into actually making it look like meat.

Stop providing free ads for this and other companies like this one Reuters, go back to actually reporting on real news!

beyond burgers are rad it's just a shame they have 50% of your daily saturated fat allowance or else i would eat them all the time

Currently in my freezer... looking forward to trying it.

OH, that goes nicely in my garbage can.

Horrific.

Is this a tweet from 2016?

Consumption of oxymorons is bad for your health.

BYND

They are terrible. Maybe in a few years they’ll taste ok, but I have my doubts.

Isn’t the Beyond meat processed in a Lab 🔬 Correct me if I’m wrong!

This will be just a trivia question in a year.

So we will replace cattle farming with mass agricultural farming, pesticides and soil erosion. Great.

a short movie about health of our planet in contemporary time. We can see it inside the opposition between the Orphic concept of life in harmony with nature and the chemical industry of contemporary world.

That shit is worse than eating the regular meat burger.

Hey since nut and soy are not milk, can we stop calling this meat.

LOL To all these haters commenting. I needed a good chuckle.

I’ll stick with beef

Soylent Green...Their feeding us people!!!!

And in 10 years we will find out that the ingredients that make it taste ok also cause cancer and there will be a new fad to eat real cows again. Remember when eggs were bad and then good and then bad again.

Beyond meat brought to you by PPFA

“Crowd”

'Crowd US grocery stores'. Exaggerate much.. I have to hunt high and low to find those.

PalNDT

Had the Incredible Whopper at Burger King - YUCK tasted like mush - terrible experience - will never order Incredible Products again! Feels like a huge ball of lard in your stomach.

paolavelasquezd

Sooooo delicious! And the Sausage too!

Twice the price. Being a vegan is expensive, I'll just eat the reg.

K11Marc I would not eat them!!

well should read vuger !

Sell your stock now!

30 ingredients to replace one ingredient, meat 🤣🤣

Processed foods are terrible regardless of what they’re made from.

I’ll skip the asthma attack & just stick w/ real meat. 🥩 But, hey! For those who aren’t allergic & want something like that, go for it I guess. Just don’t want anyone trying to “prank” me by serving me poison.

False advertising. It's not beyond meat, it's just the accessories rearranged.

In meanwhile a university in the Netherlands is growing meat. It sounds weird and wrong, but I'm pretty sure people prefer non animal labgrown meat over substitutes. Just give it some years.

BBCArdalan

We have veggie burgers here in the UK, and I like them.

Nothing replaces real meat.

Hyped up junk to make the initial investors a truck load of cash. Then they’ll sell all their stocks before Joe Public realises it’s pure junk literally and financially and gets stuffed.

Nothing new, all burgers are plant based. Cows eat grass, we get meat.

I tried it a while ago - it’s a first class disaster. Other veggie alternatives are tastier. It’s incredibly fat and has terrible taste. Not for me. Save your money is my advice!

Tastes horrible. Just overprocessed fakefood. Why not just call them what they are: Mushy Peas?

davestewart4444 It's overpriced, and frankly not that great. Very good marketing to release it during barbecue and travel season, though.

I prefer animal-based, plant alternatives.

Had my first one of these yesterday. I miss neither meat, nor its taste, so I could live without this, but did taste good and replicated burger meat quite well. veganism vegan

Blasphemy. I didnt beat down brits for this nonsense.

I prefer to have real meat grown from plants.

Grown just to be slaughtered. Barbaric vegans

Smells and tastes like the devils taint. Just means more real meat for the rest of us.

Actually I just tried this very brand and as a meat eater I thought they were pretty authentic! Everyone should at least try them before passing judgement I feel.

All the fat and sodium without the taste. How could it go wrong?

How many plants had to suffer and die for this atrocity!

Why would you want a plant to taste like meat? Just eat meat!

Incoming zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♂️ jk tastes just meat

There is no substitute for a steak grilled by me, on my grill, for me. It’s a close second to sex.

The one at Burger king is good.

IT'S PEOPLE........

Problem is...generally a soy product. Many people are allergic to soy.

No.

Nasty.

Yeah, they crowd them because no one wants that industrial slop. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
