livestock consumes more than three quarters of the world’s soy — a crop linked to deforestation

LOL if it helps shitting on meat soy is suddenly bad.

Fake news does what fake news does best: twist "facts" to suit their agenda.

Beyond Meat (BYND) are down more than 75% this year

the number of repeat buyers “may already have reached a saturation point.”

I.E.: it tastes so badly 75% of people are not buying it again.

The company has raised $4.6 million and its filet mignon was launched online in Europe and the United States earlier this year. Retailing for €30 ($30) for a pack of four 113g (4oz) filets, they’re not cheap, but have been bought by customers to cook at home, as well as restaurants looking for something that goes beyond plant-based burgers or sausages, says Mićković. It plans to begin selling in shops in the European Union, United States and United Kingdom in 2023.

30 bucks for a pound of fake meat. You can get a pound of real grass fed filet cheaper, and frankly filet mignon is a hilariously mediocre cut for its reputation.

I bet if I polled most people, on if they'd rather have 'beyond meat' or go back to doing preservation like salt pork, people would be breaking out the salt barrels..

It's $30 for 1 lb. That's more expensive than the real thing. And it's made by slovenians so you know it's not exactly high tech or cutting edge. I looked up online reviews:

• Cnet: "Didn't taste very much like filet mignon" & "the texture was stringier than I'd imagined" & "overall it was rather bland"

• Men's health: "I was getting a sort of mediocre sushi bar funk? Like a lingering taste of of how not-so-fresh fish smells? And as the fake meat cooled, the texture went from somewhat overcooked steak to dried brisket, the linear proteins turning to shreds." & "I felt kind of like I went on a date with a really attractive person only to find that they didn't have a personality. Juicy Marbles looked amazing, from packaging to plate, but didn't bring much to the table in terms of flavor."

A recent report from Deloitte said sales of plant-based meat were “stagnating” in the United States, citing inflation, consumers questioning the assumed benefits of plant-based alternatives and the possibility that the number of repeat buyers “may already have reached a saturation point.”

Turns out "libtards with unlimited money" wasn't as big of a market as the libtard media would have you believe.

No. I don’t think I will.

In principle, there's nothing wrong with developing a meat substitute; if nothing else, it could be a substitute for those meals that are not meat. The problem is that so far, Beyond Meat and its competitors have failed. A more expensive meal loaded with salt is worse than just eating a steak unless you only care about not slaughtering a cow or need survival rations that won't go off.
