Tim Hortons will no longer offer Beyond Meat products at its eateries outside Ontario and B.C.
“We are always listening to our guests and testing a wide variety of products across the country,” Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the parent company of Tim Hortons, wrote in an email to CBC News.
I have tried the A&W version and liked the taste.
buuuuuut then again, Im a glutton and eat about 3 X avg for my age group,
and then work it off in the gym and cycle everywhere year round.
I tried Tim’s breakfast sandwich and did not like it. It had an off putting spicy taste. Good riddance.
Tims will be changing to Burger King’s fake meat patty…
Processed complex and simple carbohydrates? Yummm, along with the same fat as a lean beef burger.
“Yes, the Beyond Burger is a vegetarian- and vegan-friendly plant-based burger. But it’s not made out of actual vegetables. The patties pack four main ingredients: water, pea protein isolate, canola oil, and refined coconut oil. These provide the protein, heft, and moisture/juiciness of the burger. Plus, they contain minimal amounts of other ingredients, like potato starch, natural flavor, yeast extract, and beet juice extract.”
The downer: Fat and calorie-wise, the Beyond Burger is about on-par with a beef burger, says Dallas-based nutritionist Amy Goodson, RD, CSSD. And then there’s the fact that while it may have a good amount of protein (20 grams), it doesn’t exactly have vegetables (pea protein isolate def doesn’t count). So despite being a “veggie burger,” it’s not getting you any closer to your five to seven servings of vegetables a day.”
Where’s the beef? No way I eat this processed crap. As far as land use, don’t care what watermelons think or say.

BTW, Wendy’s says here’s the beef. “Wendy’s Tests and Discontinues Vegan Burgers.”

refined coconut oil.

Wait one second. Remember the health nuts back in the 1980 when they claimed (coconut oil) used in making popcorn (movie theaters) was so darn bad for you. Yet now it’s sold as a healthy oil?
Nuts.

Awww, gone already? I haven’t even had a chance to refuse to try one.
See, there’s these wonderful things that convert grains and grasses into forms we can easily digest. They’re called cows. Of course, other ruminants can also work. The nanosecond I see the word “Isolate” in an ingredients list, I run like hell. And, like vegans actively avoid anywhere that serves meat out of protest, restaurateurs should know that, although I don’t avoid places that feature vegan items, I DO actively avoid any place dumb enough to throw money at Al Gore for this garbage pretend beef.
I won’t eat at any fast food joint that promotes this gipe. I was about to enter a Carl’s Jr, in Fillmore, UT, and saw a Beyond Meat poster on the door. Next stop: Wendy’s
Real vegans/vegetarians don’t need counterfeit meat. They are fine with eating explicitly vegetarian dishes. This Frankenfood is a direct assault on the ranching industry.
How much meat is there in any fast food burger?

Are people paying attention yet, now that the climate debate may affect their bottom line?
Another phony apology from a corporate PR guru-apologizing NOT for their own actions but for how others perceive their actions.
If the intent isn’t to attack beef why do they give the product a name that denigrates beef and attack beef in their prospectus filing and marketing propaganda?
This issue isn’t about a veggie patty, made to replicate the colour, taste & texture of 100% meat burger, cutting into the beef market.
The closer one looks the more it become evident that this “nothing burger” is laced with virtue signalling and corporate hypocrisy & an attack on personal lifestyle choices. But then that’s par for the course in this age of wokeism.
That the Cattlemen walked away with their tales tucked in doesn’t help. The Roughriders will stand behind their corporate partners. The Canadian Cattlemen need to shred the marketing propaganda that attacks beef. Not all beef is created equal.
“””Beyond commissioned its own lifecycle assessment completed by the University of Michigan. The study found that from cradle to distribution, the Beyond Burger generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 46% less energy, 99% less water and 93% less land compared to a quarter pound of U.S. beef.The data about U.S. beef production came from a 2017 lifecycle assessment by the National Cattleman’s Beef Association, a lobbying group for beef producers.””

I have tried both the Beyond burger and Impossible burger. Both are fine but I think i may be the only vegetarian that is not looking for something with the taste and texture of meat.
The Beyond Meat Burger contains 1,110 mg of sodium, 43% of your entire day’s intake. The Teenburger, 0mg. It also has more fat and less protein than the Teen. So yeah, not healthy at all.
Beyond Meat and other meat-free burgers are overprocessed overhyped veggie burgers. The real deal is meat cloning. When the tissue is isolated and grown in vast vats. No more cows, no more farms.
