Beyond Meat to lay off workers as ‘veggie misinformation’ bites

There's a corner of the meat department (why aren't the vegans complaining about the proximity? As they do!) that was stocked with Beyond Meat. I noticed it slowly shrinking...
And there's trouble in the refrigerated cheesecake section. Their GF chain is broken, but that's okay, I know how to make my own in the microwave. I just need to remember the night before, because the "curing" in the fridge is vital, much like Atkin's rolls. So there's all this plant-based cheesecake, just sitting there. Much like artificial meat, tofu-based cream cheese just does not cut it. |
It seems that the company is slowly heading toward bankruptcy.

The "misinformation about our products" that came from the makers themselves, of course.
Sad for those people losing their jobs of course, but this industry was never going to be a sustainable one. |

In my world, everything is calculated on dollar cost per pound protein. And vegetable protein is a far cry from the complete protein of animal meats. Why would I pay more per pound of vegetable matter than the complete amino acid profile of meat proteins? Im very frugal. A good veggie burger would be a treat in a past life. These days with less money, meat protein based on cost per pound, is far less than many whole vegetables ( cost per #) and processed cereals. ie fruit loops, Cheerios. That's putting protein aside!! |

I felt the jolt of job losses, too. We need to support more jobs that are sustainable for generations. |

The thing about business today is how so much of it is not about solid business principles which endure for generations. Smash and grab and con artists. That's what MBAs are taught now, and it shows. |
It makes no difference to me, as I would never buy fake meat. I avoid highly processed foods, and vegan-tastes-like-beef must be insanely processed. Besides, I think meat is good for me. Humans have been eating meat since before we were even consider Homo Sapiens.
I don't oppose offering vegans something, but if there aren't enough of them to keep the company in business, that's the way it goes in a semi-free market system. |
Veganism is a scam. It started as a dream, from the woman who had a religious vision, founded Christian Science (!), and preached that a certain religious figure would come back when every human on the earth was vegan.
Because it's everyone's libido blocking the Rapture. That, and the money Seventh Day Adventist church makes from their food companies, which are based on this prophecy. One of the biggest is Kellogg's. And it is all tied up in bogus health claims and the panics from each wave of Atkins popularity, and then the discovering of the healing properties of ketosis and the dangers of oxalates looming into people's consciousness like a mountain about to fall over. They don't have that many actual vegans, who live on convenience foods like any other unaware out there, but they are pushing the culture to think "Plant based" and grab something with that on the label. It's "convenience nutrition," too. |
Just a reminder for everyone to stick to the topic of waning popularity/profitability of plant-based "meats". If you wish to discuss veganism in this and other threads around the forum, then please do so without also bashing religion(s). Read why here.
Thanks for understanding :rose: |
I meant no disrespect to anyone's spirituality. I'll just apologize.

This is the path to sanity, and the eventual end of factory farms. In fact, it's one of the reasons -- prodded by my fans -- that I've started on on TikTok, last week. People are trying to feed their cats vegan again. And that is my business :) |

Very sad. Cats can't be vegan. They must eat meat. Especially, taurine. Taurine is added to cat food, it's that important. |
In my world, everything is calculated on the dollar cost per 100g of protein. And yes, vegetable protein is a far cry from the complete protein of animal meats. I also find that legume & grain proteins cause me inflammation, so I get 85-95% of my protein from animal sources. If I don't, my nails & hair start getting brittle and I don't want my muscles to wither!
I base my meals on the bioavailable protein and even plan my shopping that way, looking at the online flyers to see what meat/poultry/fish protein is on sale that week before deciding where to shop and what to buy, with extra for freezing. I too am surprised the vegans & vegetarians don't whine more about real meat sitting next to their fake-meat chemical concoctions in stores. In my stores the fake cheeze and fake milks are farther away from the real stuff, though the Canadian Dairy cartel/lobby probably has something to do with that. |
