Burgers are a staple in the Western world. People eat millions every year, from the cheap, fast-food option to expensive, gourmet editions.
And vegetarian alternatives have existed for a long time. But as more evidence piles on, everything from how much water it consumes and how much land it requires, the future of meat consumption seems to be coming to an end.
Two companies want to create a vegan option that's just as good as the real thing. This battle, however, is much more than just a burger patty. It's controversies, big names, and questionable products. So, let's take a look at the duel between Beyond Meat vs. Impossible Foods in this episode of Company Forensics.

So meat industry is saying impossible isn't safe cuz of heme. But heme is in all meat... Lol. That doesn't make sense
the soy causes cancer look it up buddy
@@prosper4187 it doesn't. All the Asians that have eaten soy for centuries and have much lower rates of cancer than most other places proves that. but I don't care to argue about that. I'm just talking about what was specified in the video about heme.

@@prosper4187 🙄🙄🙄 ok. Nice chat

I tried beyond meat, it is good !!! I am freaking meat eater but if these got cheaper , I wouldn’t mind eating them more often
What I'm looking forward to is that when you have a grill day with your buddies you don't have to compromise for you vegetarians/vegan friends. Everyone can enjoy high quality burgers.
Thing is, unless they include specific nutrients(which you can only GET from meat) it would never be a true substitute.
That's quite an interesting pfp you have there
The only reason meat is cheaper is due to farmers getting subsidies, if the government stopped giving subsidies out for meat and gave it out for fruit/veg we’d all be healthier and vegan food would be cheaper
@@mrbuttocks6772 such as? You can get all nutrients from sources if you eat the right foods
Heme-iron is the iron in meat. Just to keep a perspective, it's nothing special for the average meat eater to consume a high amount of heme-iron on a daily basis.
It’s possible the high sodium content of impossible and beyond 11:20
That may be one reason why vegans have lower rates of some types of cancer than people who eat meat. They also have lower rates of several other chronic deadly diseases, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
"People following vegan diets are less likely to develop chronic diseases, compared with other dietary groups, according to a study funded by the NIH/National Cancer Institute.Apr 8, 2019"

Regarding the sodium content, both beyond and impossible are meant to be cooked with nothing but oil, while beef patties are salted during cooking, so the comparison isn't 100% correct
@@arthurchazal3064 Good point. I am guessing that the decision was made at Impossible and Beyond Meat that it was important to make sure that their products could not be served with insufficient seasoning. Otherwise, people would write them off as unsatisfying an blame it on the fact that they are plant based.
I can't speak on Beyond Meat behalf, but that's what's commonly given as an explanation. Meat eaters are peaky regarding alternatives, so seasoning is pre-handled.
GMOs *ARENT BAD FOR YOU*. GMOs are perfectly fine for consumption. Every plant you eat has already been genetically modified by humans to increase productivity since the dawn of agriculture. Using crispr or 20th century methods are no different.
(Its environmental impact is another story)
100% agreed with you. Lots of inaccuracies in this video... and I love Caya's content. Kinda bummed tbh.
@@carlover4239 Well they werent wrong in their reporting, they're just the messenger of what the public perception of GMOs are and the company's stance.
I’m pretty sure selectivity breeding plants based on observed traits is much different than splicing in a gene the plant was never going to encounter to begin with.
@@fmccloud Its different, but that doesnt change how had it is for you. Alcohol and Water are chemically different, but both are wet.
More to the point leghemeglobin isn't even a GMO. The anti-science crowd need to get a grip
I prefer Impossible burger, but I also like Beyond burger. In spaghetti, lasagna, sloppy joe, burgers, etc. I won't use real beef again with these products in the grocery store!
Me too. Beyond meat has a strange “smoke-like” flavor to me. Impossible tastes more like meat to me.
I've tried Impossible before and loved it but I cant have it as often due to the prices
Same but sadly it's price is too much for me
@@jackrocks8350 can relate
@@aquareon2347 the prices are definitely coming down I’ve been able to find some for about a $1.25 per patty which is enough to make a meal with
wait a sec, beef doesnt have that much sodium as beyond's but when you season regular meat dont u add up a lot more Na?
Yeah and beyond and impossible are already seasoned
Even post-seasoning beef still tends to have less sodium. Just look up Burger King's Whopper and Impossible Whopper for an apples to apples comparison, and Burger King uses quite a lot of seasoning at that.
who seasons burgers ?
@@rex_melynas most people? You don’t add salt ?
@@rex_melynas More practically, who doesn't?
"No GMO" is basically "I'm an idiot" because all our modern food is GMO, just at a much slower level, i.e. selective breeding.
Anti-GMO movement has been debunked many times and their leader is a fraud.
@@thetaomega7816 don't take vaccines then.
@@shadmansudipto7287 wat, how is this relevant?
There are some valid criticisms against GMOs, particularly to how many are utilized, by creating highly pesticide resistant plants in combination with a large amount of pesticide, or GMOs with natural pesticide. But then again this is a criticism of utilization rather than the concept of GMOs themselves.
They're not dumb but mislead, I believe they want to make a statement. But that statement is fueled by ignorance. They don't want to eat what they don't understand haha.
There’s nothing wrong with GMOs in it of themselves. Everything we grow is GMO today
Just don't trust the companies that develop GMOs that places short term profits over ensuring quality & safe products. Otherwise it's a invaluable.
That's extremely true. But I still don't know if heme is safe, beyond meat is made entirely from vegetables gmo or not it has around the same sodium but it tastes slightly off. It doesn't have heme so i guess i'll choose beyond since A&W uses them for their vegetarian burgers
@@noobnub7305 heme is in real meat lol
@@WetFart996 *bruh*
@@noobnub7305 moment
Imagine mentioning hypertension without stating you have to go above the daily sodium intake daily for you to develop it. It's misleading, you can eat a burger a day and make sure you're below if not right on point for your sodium daily consumption. Btw for anyone reading this, daily sodium intake based on the FDA is supposed to be less than 2300mg, so it's possible to be in that range and still enjoy the food you consume.

Beyond burgers and sausages are great, but I’d like a little more variety, at least from what I’ve seen available.
A beyond stew meat would be nice- the only kind they have at most places near me is gardein, and they’re, bluntly, not my favorite.
That requires fat marbling, and for now, creating ground meats is far easier.
Im tired of all these marketing ploys to convince you it's a good item, "Beyond meat", "Impossible floods",
I want a farmer to sell meat and brand it as "Unironically meat" or something
As a Bioscience Engineer grown up on a grass fed beef farm, the ignorance of both of these companies is mindblowing to me. In their marketing campaigns, all beef farm systems in the world are simplified to that one same image of feedlots and deforestation, while many beef farmers all around the world work towards a carbon neutral beef production system. Carbon sequestration by holding cattle on pastures, lowered emissions due to adapted, animal-specific feed composition, planting trees to give the animals shade in summer,...
Meanwhile, these multinationals need all of their resources coming from cash crops, highly processing them using lots of energy just trying to recreate a certain taste, not adding any extra nutritional value. Acoording to them, thousands of family-run farms aiming to apply all durable practices, producing beef op excellent quality, have no right of existance. Just two so-called "visionary, do-gooder multinationals" aiming to monopolise and spoil yet another part of life, whatever it takes.
1. Can these green cattle raising methods be enough to sustain the entire planet economically
2. What percentage of meat consumed globally are from green cattle raising
@@adanactnomew7085 1) if people (especially in Western countries) respect the meat consumption limits proposed by national health services, absolutely! a shift towards more plant-proteïn intake in diets is a good thing, it is the overconsumption of (cheap) meat that causes the big problems, promoted by "burger multinationals" making burger production as cheap as possible, scaling up farms to industrial feedlot systems where the economics might make sense, but the environmental aspect certainly doesn't.
@@adanactnomew7085 2) there is way less beef consumption in the world, compared to chicken and pig meat. From the total amount of beef, depending on the country, more than half of it comes from dairy cattle.So for the remaining pure beef cattle, about 90% gets access to pastures in Europe and only gets a minor fraction of grains and soy, while in North-and South-America, this system goes up for +- 50%
@@pablodaxo9591 True. I do feel like focusing on sustainable meat raising methods is a distraction towards plant based and lab grown meats. Lab grown meat went from costing hundreds of thousands to supermarkets in less than a decade.
Also I do know that field grazing is really environmentally destructive in certain environments. Sheep and goat herding is a leading cause of desertification in Western China, The Middle East and the Sahel. However, this wouldnt be a concern in England or New Zealand.

@@pablodaxo9591 the entire point is that people don't want to give up meat. Else all would've turned vegan.

@@slydawwg I’m surprised you think that. I cooked up some beyond beef for a taco and it tasted exactly like real beef. Different tastes i guess
I gotta say, your shows are solidly tight. Great concept. Great production. I hope someone gives you a tv show - if that's still a thing.
Great quality videos! You'll see great viewer growth over this year!
i think if this stuff was produced on a larger scale, therefore was cheaper, I would totally buy it more often and probably replace it over meat. For reference I was vergetarian for 2 years, and I loved these equally to beef. But they are really hard to find in the uk, especially impossible.
I think the whole "farmland used for grazing" is overstated in importance. Land suitable for grazing is typically much lower quality than land where you can actually grow plant crops, and many countries have a lot of this type of land, like the USA and Argentina. The ability to feed livestock excess food crops is also great for the farmers who grow food crops, this lowers risk in growing stuff like corn and lentils, since the ranchers will always buy any quantity (for a lower price than when used for human food, but still it's predictable and safe). Cows eating grass is a very nice form of upcycling nutrition, since grass has zero nutrient value for humans and beef has large nutrient value. Obesity is a real problem, and not eating meat every day is good for you, but that does not mean cows destroy rainforests. In fact, burning of rain forests is to make space for growing food crops for humans, like soybeans and oil palm.
I get, where you're coming from. However there is a bit more to the problem of land use. First of all, animals eat a lot more food, than they produce. Cows for example need about 8 calories (iirc, could be more) of plants, just to produce one calory of meat. That means, that for the same amount of food, you need 8 times the amount of land. Of course, you can use "worse" land for grasing, but the reality is, that most live stock is fed soy, or other crops. In fact, the soy that gets the rainforest burned is mostly used for animals.
If we all adopted a vegan diet, that would drastically lower our landuse and co2 emissions (it is estimated that around 15% of global emissions are just from meat production). In addition to that, the now unused land could be led back to its natural state, which in most cases is forests. These new forests would take roughly 16 years of global co2 emissions out of the atmosphere.
Plus that would also drastically lower the chances of more pandemics.
If you want more information -with sources- i recommend watching some of earthling eds videos.
Who keeps perpetuating these myths?
Very little of what you said is factually true and the implied conclusion that cattle grazing isn’t really hurting the environment is a flat-out lie.
80% of grazing land worldwide was *not* grassland before it was converted for grazing, it was most often forested. The definition of “land where you can actually grow crops” sweeps a bunch of wrong assumptions under the rug, starting with “what counts as a crop?” Where I live, in NEPA, dairy farming is done on land too marginal to grow corn, but that land *could* grow wheat perfectly well, but wheat is less profitable than dairy (especially given the current government subsidies given to the dairy industry).
Over 90% of the rainforest of Madagascar were cut down to make grazing land for cattle, and neither the protein nor calories from the cattle are necessary to support the people of Madagascar, they just like having lots of cattle as status symbols, showing personal wealth.
@@playerik2135 90% of the total lifetime energy beef cows get is from pasture, which has zero food value to humans. I find the 16 year figure extremely optimistic, even though forests do grow faster now than before in part due to climate change and increased CO2, that is still an incredibly amount of biomass.
@@jpe1 The global wheat market is pretty saturated, the economics of improving the land to grow wheat most likely does not make sense in that particular case. Your comments on Madagascar is extremely patronizing, you are basically stating that they are too stupid to manage their own environment and agriculture, and someone from the outside must force them to change their ways.
@@ThePhiphler you are correct, the economics don’t make sense *because the government subsidizes dairy!* If there were far less demand for dairy and more demand for wheat then the land would be able to provide *more* human nutritional value per acre growing wheat than growing pasture for cows to graze. I’m glad you understand my point.
My comments on Madagascar are not patronizing! They are behaving in a very stupid way for very short-sighted goals. I’m sick and tired of leftist bullshit “people should be free to do whatever they want, all lifestyle choices are equally valid, let’s all get together and sing kumbaya” I am not patronizing to look at bad behavior and call it out for being bad behavior. If you had a child or a friend who was, for example, continually maxing out credit cards, unwilling to keep a job, denying financial reality, would you just give them money anytime they asked and shrug your shoulders, thinking “oh, it’s ok, they can choose to live their life however they want.” Or would you confront them any say “dude, this isn’t sustainable, you have to clean up your act and take responsibility and make better choices.” When the rest of the world looks on while Madagascar destroys their island (and then themselves) with a collective shoulder-shrug of “not my problem” then we are behaving the same as the bad friend who can’t be bothered to intervene in my example.
9:27 What font size did they use 🙃
Funny how the outrageous prices of these replacement wasn't talked about
It will take a while to reach same prices as real meat given historically sale prices of Beyond Meat are decreasing by 3% each year. The companies need to continue scaling up production and also successfully lobby for subsidies like those given to meat producers. It will take around 20 years to reach price equivalence.
You're aware that the US (and other countries) heavily subsidize the meat industry? Your taxes are going to meat farmers. Eventually though, yes, Beyond/Impossible/others will be cheaper than real meat.

Thank you for your support!
As a vegan, I am thrilled that they are available and doing so well in the marketplace! I still haven't tried either Beyond Meat or Impossible products. After all, they are targeted at people who eat animals. I prefer meat alternatives with less added oils, like LightLife products. Not every day, but as an occasional treat.
I've been vegan for almost 2 years. I think impossible tastes more like a real burger, but I like the taste of beyond better, and I love their sausages. Also, as a tip, I'd recommend cooking the burgers yourself, in the way you like to make them. I have liked them better homemade than in restaurants, and in restaurants better than in fast food joints like Burger King and Dunkin' Donuts.
100% agree. And yeah the sausages are insanely good

If beyond actually makes meat with less sodium, it'll be healthy
If you are worried about sodium, eat an actual burger
@@obo2999 which is funnily ironic
I’m sure as technology gets better, the sodium will go down. I’ve never really been a fan of burgers anyways though.
healthy? you joking right? If that man-made concoction is healthy than I must be a queen of England.
@@Anna-wf8ph Everything you eat is a man made concoction. Selective breeding throughout centuries has made even a simple banana man made.
I think that it's more likely that, no matter who wins this battle, the best thing that can happen is that every major burger manufacturer goes plant based, or at least, lauches a plant based alternative. Until then, it's just healthy competition.
I like Beyond better, Impossible is still good but if I have a choice I always go with Beyond over Impossible
Funny how they say this is the future but after all these years it’s still isn’t really sold anywhere I know...

If they can replace meat witg something similar enough, then I'll happily switch and stop eating meat. Im just not strong enough to switch until then!

Do we have clear figures on exactly how much more ecological meat alternative are ? That's seems like the crucial selling point, also not having to use water/land/crops/etc to raise animals would possibly make the mass production cheaper, even competing with "real meat" or even leading to market domination in the long term!

I'm an ex professional chef now working at beyond meat location in netherlands. Products are awesome and I enjoy work itself
Another very important difference is that Beyond has no gluten og Soy in it, which is good for gluten allergics and people on a low fodmap diet. Impossible has both soy and gluten I believe.
the beef patty has less salt/sodium because it wasn't seasoned yet? As opposed to the Beyond that already is seasoned?
That's what I was saying, too.
tried a beyond meat patty. Was actually better than I thought but just too expensive. I mean I could get about 3 big macs for the price of two patties, and I have to cook them!
If stuff like this replaced meat with a 1-1 reaction of meat, i wouldn’t mind, however i think we’re years away from actual meat recreations, it seems easier to make ground beef coppies instead of regular steaks, i’m really looking forward for when high class meats like wagyu will be mass produced with machines.
Sounds like the big difference is that Impossible Foods wants their stuff to TASTE like meat, while Beyond Foods wants their stuff to be HEALTHIER than meat.
As for taste, I have no desire to try either one. My father once tried an Impossible Whopper, and he told me it tasted like a salad. Not a glowing recommendation, IMO.
How can you do these two and not have an episode on Blue Apron and other meal kits? There are actually dead companies in that category!
Water: What is the water cycle?
CO2 and Methane from meat: Same they get from the vegetables they eat.

it's 2021 and people are still scared of GMOs...
Yep, people are dumb
It's pretty absurd.
@Jay Heece nah i think the problem is that people believe anything they find on a blog...
I tasted both. Impossible tastes like real beef 🥩. No hype and better tasting.
tbh. ive always liked plant burgers better than beef burgers. its not even a health or environmental thing, i just like the taste.
I've already had Beyond Burgers from Aldi, and I enjoyed them greatly. I'm looking forward to hitting up Stop and Shop this month to hopefully get a 1lb brick of Impossible Burger to try next.
And No, I'm not vegan, but I am all for looking for different options. :3 Hopefully the prices will drop even more in the coming year so that they are almost equal to beef, that's the biggest deciding factor for me right now.
great video but why is the title so aggressive 😭
No one is coming to take your steak away, but at some point I believe you'll find a product that is cheaper, more accessible, better tasting, and doesn't come at the cost of animal life. At that point, the real thing will be devalued to the point of irrelevance and you won't want it
In that case they won't breed cattle.

After all, they are targeted at people who eat animals. I prefer meat alternatives with less added oils, like LightLife products. Not every day, but as an occasional treat.
As a vegan who (before the pandemic and hopefully again afterwards) regularly entertains groups of 4 to 10 people for 2 to 3 days at a time, grilled Beyond Burgers is a cornerstone of my cooking. Give a meat eater a perfectly grilled Beyond Burger with melted vegan cheese, fresh tomato, onion slices, it’s familiar and comfortable, usually they don’t even realize they are eating vegan. Impossible Burger is a key ingredient for a fantastic “meat” sauce for pasta, and their meatless meatballs can be used in pasta or in a meatball sandwich, again it’s all about feeding friends food that is familiar to them. I won’t presume to say what *you* should, or should not, cook for *your* guests, just letting you know that they (BYND and Impossible) are a great option for preparing vegan meals that meat eaters can enjoy.
@@jpe1 Thank you for your interesting reply. I switched to a vegan diet for my health. So far, when I feel like a treat I am satisfied with LIghtLife and similar products. I am glad you have something to serve to your meat eating friends. Every time a consumer buys meat dairy or eggs, the law of supply and demand means that more animals will be bred into existence to meet that demand. That has huge consequences for our environment and animal welfare. I am also glad that Beyond Meat and Impossible products are available in so many restaurants for those times when I am eating with friends or family and they want to go to one of those restaurants. I will probably try one of these burgers then.
I've worked in a nicer restaurant in CA that has had Impossible and Beyond patties at a burger substitute at one point. To me beyond tasted like a flavorful veggie burger, but impossible tasted like meatloaf. I preferred meat patties over both of them but impossible was an acceptable alternative.
They are both more expensive then regular beef.
I tasted both Beyond and Impossible, they are OK (I liked the Impossible a little better), and I would not mind buying them on regular basis if they were half the price of real ground beef. Say, $2-3 a pound. But I am not buying fake meat for twice the price of a real thing. Heck, here in California they sell for about the price of steak-quality meat! No way.
The only reason real meat is cheaper is because of the grants given to those who kill and sell it
@@prizma45 actually cuase it's cheaper to produce.
These fake meats cost more cuase they have to be processed more and use more ingredients.plus the land usage and waste.
While cattle takes less processing,they actually have less land usage,produce no waste since their poop is used has freztlizer and no part goes unused and they can be fatten up by allowing them eat left over grain from harvest during the winter.
A vegan world would suck, because you "love steak?"
Don't worry. They're working on a Beyond Steak.
Impossible? We will see!
Hyperprocessed genetically modified appearance-focused fake meat is perfectly safe and healthy in the sense that you won't find out that it's terrible for you for another 10-20 years. The processed food industry has such a great track record that there is no way we could possibly predict this.
Versus "natural" meat which comes from the mass slaughter of livestock that lives virtually knee-deep in their own urine and manure, I'd say highly controlled lab meat is way better.
@@illustryfe5354 I find that by far these puppet -people who make environment the main focus don't have anything, are generally cash poor, many don't really work, & even if some don't realize it ? they are jelly of the successful. Anyway, If your young enough, still time to enjoy a good life. Cheers
Grazing land cannot be used for agriculture, that’s why it’s grazing land.
And large animals restore and improve soil, so destroying animal husbandry would destroy environment, rather than help it.
And all this factory meat is heavily heavily industry dependent, meaning it’s significantly more carbon intensive, than letting a cow eat some grass and shit in a field.
You say that Impossible and beyond have more salt than beef. But, are you comparing it to just beef with no salt added or one of the many commercial beef patties? I would think most people would add salt to their beef patties and every commercial patty would have different amounts. So how do you compare?
Because you can season your meat the healthy way without salt you can use spices to season your beef. We don't use salt Mexicans to season our beef we use different spices
The TH-cam channel Scishow says that neither burger was as satisfying as beef, neither tasted as good as beef and both products were lacking flavor and texture. I believe them.
the stupid thing is ppl r so adamant in being against gmos when there really isn't much evidence against it!
Slidebean does not want his beef taken away from him, but he will gladly pay someone to take away the life of an innocent animal.
I love both brands and products. I’m currently long BYND, but if Impossible IPO’s I’ll invest just as much in the company.
Really good & interesting to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
i just want to take a moment to appreciate that this is like the nicest comment section i've ever seen on a video about veganism, normally there are a bunch of arguments in the replies of top comments, but this just seems like people who are interested in the vegan diet and watched this video for fun and not to try to poke holes in it.
Just out of curiosity the last name of CEO of both companies is Brown.
Beyond meat does use GMO, it contains canola oil. "Canola seed is a genetic variation of rapeseed that was developed in the 1960s using traditional plant-breeding methods. Approximately 93 percent of the canola grown in the U.S. is from genetically modified seed."
okay but there is a difference between that and something that has pesticides injected into it's DNA in order to kill any bugs that might eat the crop.
Tried these many times, it's just not the same, I've had friends try to "trick" me at my own request, it's been random, cooked in different ways, I can just instantly tell and don't finish it
Very informative video thanks
So excited about lab-grown meat too!
Tyson also sold their shares and started their own meat alternative
Okay, I don’t mean to sound rude or anything and I hope people take this in a constructive way...
Honestly, the industrialized western world needs to look into Indian (Asian) Cuisine for vegetarian dish inspiration. Not saying y’all need to make “curry” your daily driver, but like just note down the incredible list of options y’all have in terms of vegetables to choose and cooking methodologies. EVEN if you’re one of those “Strictly vegan” folks, it’s super easy to make great dishes that taste “amazeballs.”
This “invest millions to make it taste like meat” makes me chuckle sometimes. It’s entirely an “American only issue” from what I’ve seen.
Again not to seem rude. But like...just take notes from other vegetarian heavy countries...It’s easier. And cheaper....and won’t give you “side effects” down the line if at all. Just normal organic stuff that we’ve been eating for centuries.
And one more thing: “Paneer”. Google it.
*Create a Better World by............................Living Vegan*
Impossible is SO Much better than Beyond.
my gut instinct tells me something that is highly processed is never good for ur health.....so the idea that impossible meat,something that is so highly processed and engineered could be healthy compared to raw natural ingredients just doesnt make sense.
Well red meat is an actual carcinogen so...
@@charisday3846 red meat isn't carcinogen.that is a popular vegan lie that purposely misrepresents data.
Over cooked red meat esipceally bq is a carcinogen.while perfectly cooked is not.
@Jay Heece nope. over cooked red meat is.
the red meat cancer causes cancer is vegan profusely telling half truths.
I think if the companies stuck to more of an environmental message instead of a health message, there wouldn't have been so much backlash. I think both products are fantastic advances for sustainable foods that are environmentally and ethically conscious. Even though I'm definitely not a vegan, I can see the value in having food we can eat together without a compromise in taste.

Very interesting origin stories
Who else is feeling inspired ❤️❤️
Inspired for GMO lol...
Appreciate it! Glad you find it useful!
I love beyond burgers, if they were less expensive I would eat them more often. I really want to try the impossible burger but I think you can only get it in specific restaurants
Yes but you know all those foods some people are allergic to that. And plus soy is not healthy for men it reduces testosterone
@@alfredoalcantar8691 did you mean to respond to my comment?
The reason I eat Impossible Meat occasionally is not for health. It’s because a beautiful loving animal didn’t give its life for me to simply eat and enjoy a hamburger.
Nice that you occasionally care about that
@@FloridaSprings12 I guess I said that wrong 😛 I meant I occasionally eat processed foods. I try to eat whole plant foods most often, and I don’t eat animal products. Cheers 🥂
@@DbeeSapphire that clarification makes a big difference...thanks cheers
People wouldn't even raise cattle if not for food, you haven't saved an animals life.
If both founders are vegan, how can they taste if it's similar to the real thing?
The companies use focus groups to get feedback for new products, similar to how every other company does it.
People aren't born vegan.
We know what meat tastes like
@@adshille8987 Maybe it's been years or decades..
