Beyond Meat Inc’s (BYND.O) quarterly losses ballooned, as the plant-based protein maker spent heavily on product launches and offered big discounts as it tried to guard its market share against deep-pocketed players and nimble upstarts.
The company’s stock slid 20% in extended trading on Wednesday, as Beyond Meat reported a gross margin of 0.2% for the first quarter ended April 2, a 30 percentage point slide from a year earlier.
They got millions worth of free product placement in the news cycle, and people still won’t eat the crap.
No formula? No problem. Maybe you can feed it to babies? Anyone else recall Milo Minderbinder’s chocolate covered cotton?
SAVE A COW!!!
‘Eat Bacon’.
‘BBQ Ribs.’
From the Pork Producers Council.
Yum…Yum…Yum…
SAVE A PIG!!!
‘Eat a nice Juicy Steak.’
‘BBQ Hamburgers.’
From the Beef Producers Council.
Yum…Yum…Yum…
Damn those dirty pig ribs and bbq sauce and that lousy bacon stuff. Damn those methane spewing cows and their lousy steaks, and ribs and roasts, and burgers. Hell, now I am wondering why I just had a chicken sandwich, mmmm, chicken.
L – If *Beyond Meat were to donate to the Trudeau Foundation. Would their product then
receive Canadian Public Health approval as a prevention/treatment for Covid-19 ?
*(Shareholder value bleeding profusely does not qualify it as meat. Though their decision to invest in it, in the first place, may qualify them as meatheads.)
It tastes like cows processed it first.

VANCOUVER – “Researchers at the A&W Centre for Theoretical Food at the University of British Columbia were found yammering incoherently after piercing the scientific veil and briefly seeing what lies beyond ‘Beyond Meat’.”
“Everyone was screaming, brandishing forks, and spraying condiments this way and that,” reported a first responder. “And the smell, it wasn’t meat, but it wasn’t not meat, either.”
Several of the younger researchers had removed their clothing and were screaming about a “flavour that should never be tasted” and demanding their tongues be removed so they could never taste again.

Too bad, so sad. Not…
When they start making vegetables out of bacon give me a call
Plus why would Covid omicron be driving the loss in sales?
Bill Gates cashed out of that outfit a few years ago, yet he still wants to convert us to eat that rubbish.
So he can have more meat.
It’s not about resources running out (meat, oil, ect), it’s about the elite getting it all for themselves.
Kinda reminds me of this planet.
https://asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Solaria
“Originally, there were about 20,000 people living in vast estates individually or as married couples. There were thousands of robots for every Solarian. Almost all of the work and manufacturing was conducted by robots. The population was kept stable through strict birth and immigration controls. In the era of Robots and Empire, no more than five thousand Solarians were known to remain. Twenty thousand years later, the population was twelve hundred, with just one human per estate.”
I have a good idea of the contents of what is sold in grocery stores as “beef” or “chicken” …
but I’m not a biologist nor about to become one so I can figure out (or pronounce with accuracy) the contents of “possibly somewhat tastes similar to beef”
Time to roll out “Beyond Food: Work Shall Set You Free” for us plebes.
someone should point out that like political parties, given a choice between the real thing and a pale imitation, most people will go for the real thing..
Given that next week there is going to be a vote to override sovereignty of nations, and the establishment of global governance via UN-WHO – dont be so sure it wont be made mandatory, and all meat banned (for you anyway)
This reminds me of info I received ,from an inside source, about the Burger King launch last year of meatless burgers . Apparently the ingredients for the meatless burgers have all the same ingredients as dog food … minus two ingredients.
Yummmm … bon appetite !!!!!
And those two ingredients are probably chicken and fish.
It’s really not crap. I am vegetarian and love Beyond Meat as it’s the best meat substitute out there. I can certainly understand meat eaters not preferring it to meat, but don’t knock it – it’s good at being what it is.

“it’s good at being what it is.”
fake meat for the lunatic left?
trans-flesh?

Agreed. My 93 yr old father in law had to stop red meat because of gout, so we got him beyond beef burgers to try. It actually tastes good.
I don’t understand why vegans and vegetarians need meat substitutes? I thought you were choosing not to eat meat?
That said, the high fertilizer prices is going to lead to a huge increase in fake meat prices as well. The fertilizer shortage may mean that it’s off the menu all together. That fake meat takes way more resources to grow and process than a cow or a chicken.
beyond stupid.
but maybe early soylant green. the development phase .
I will stick to raising cattle on my farm.
Beyond Meat or a fat public servant?
Buddy’s Pop-up BBQ will only serve whole, unprocessed and natural ingredients.
Beyond Gross.
There IS a use for their veggie burgers. If you scatter them out around your campsite,it will keep the bears away
because EVEN BEARS WON’T EAT THAT SHIT!!!
I refuse to eat greasy palm oil soy bean “burgers” … or Bill Gates organically farmed crickets
I love to watch cooking shows, and I noted that vegetarian dishes require a lot more ingredients than normal food. Beyond meat, read the list of stuff they put in that stuff and if that doesn’t turn you off the products nothing will. Eat a pork chop, or eat a fake one that contains forty different products almost all of them processed food.
I don’t get why they go to such great lengths to make grass taste like hamburger.
Cows have been doing that forever.
My favourite grass processor.
This guys got it right…

I actually like peas and other pulses just as they are. No need to mash them up add a bunch of other crap and try to tell me it’s meat.
I started working in the frozen food section of my local supermarket a few weeks ago. I’ve noticed that the Beyond Meat pizzas and non-dairy ice creams just don’t sell while real pizzas, including the meat lovers are selling briskly.
A note re inflation, last week an old lady sighed and said “I guess I’m never eating ice cream again.” I asked if it was because her doctor told her not to. “Oh no, it’s the PRICE these days.” she replied. Two days ago I saw a man in his late 50s standing in front of the freezers saying “Come on guys”. I asked if he was looking for a particular flavour or brand and he replied “No, I’m talking to the politicians who don’t think inflation is a problem.”
We are the problem. After all, we’re not among the elite and, therefore, don’t deserve nice things.
Do beyond meat cows produce fertilizer that can be spread on crops to increase yields? Because the US govt just said that farmers should use manure due to fertilizer shortages…. How is this going to work in the future with no cows, and why didn’t the hundreds of millions of buffalo, mastodons, giant ground sloths, etc, etc, cause global warming?
Seriously, I like veggie burgers, and Beyond Meat tasted OK the first couple I had, the Burger King Whopper was OK, but after about five of them over a few months, I just got sick of them. I prefer the ones made from, you know, veggies.
Pressing dog sh*t into patties does not make it edible.
I guess they couldn’t escape the Beyond Bull Shit promotion.
