Current Events > Beyond Meat unveils plant-based steak. Would you try it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Beyond Meat is launching a steak substitute in grocery stores on Monday.

The new product will roll out nationwide at more than 5,000 Kroger and Walmart stores, as well as Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, Jewel-Osco, Sprouts and other local grocers.

Amid the chaos, Beyond and Yum Brands Taco Bell started testing meatless carne asada using its Beyond Steak product at restaurants in Dayton, Ohio.

The Beyond Steak that will be sold in grocery stores comes packaged in bite-sized pieces. It uses faba bean protein as its base and contains 21 grams of protein per serving, according to the company. It also has lower saturated fat content than beef steak and contains no cholesterol. The 10-ounce package will retail for $7.99.

I'm not quite sure I understand why people who give up eating meat create foods that try to taste like meat.

According to Ethan Brown, 93 percent of people purchasing the Beyond Burger are not vegan or vegetarian.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Brown revealed that most of the customers purchasing the brands plant-based patty which looks, cooks, and tastes like beef are actually meat-eaters. People are even buying the burger alongside real meat products, which Brown sees as a really important breakthrough.

He explained, tens of millions of dollars have been invested into researching this product and making it better and making it more real meat like. He added, I think we are 99 percent of the way there. Its close enough that people eating it enjoy it the same way that they enjoy actual ground beef.

The patty is more environmentally-friendly than beef, producing 90 percent fewer gas emissions than its cow-derived counterpart. It also uses 46 percent less energy, 99 percent less water, and 93 percent less land.

Also, these products aren't for people who eschew meat altogether. Their target demographic is meat eaters.

Anyway, this isn't anything I couldn't make out of seitan for much cheaper, so I wouldn't buy it. Would try it if given though.

Never tried beyond, impossible has some good shit though. I would probably pick this up and try a steak sandwich or something

My heart is about to give out if i don't eat better. But I like the taste of animal.

What does your diet look like these days?

I am trying to change things up.

Like I am trying just to get chicken and corn . But after the street of work I always break and get fries lol.

Id try it

their jerky is really good

Don't a lot of people give up eating meat because of all the factory farming cruelty involved or the absurd amount of resources needed to produce meat compared to veggies? Not necessarily because they dislike eating meat.

Truth.

Seitan is so amazing.

Great texture, crazy high in protein, and dirt cheap to make.
