When A&W got the beyond burger years ago I was one of the firsts to try it. Up close smelling it and you can tell it's not real meat but when the hell do I ever smell my food like that. Overall it's good, I've tried many veggie burgers before that they were horrendous. It doesn't beat regular meat though, but it's close.

Beyond is definitely a new generation of veggie burger and this is a good thing. I on the otherhand have not had a beyond burger since that day because meat is still better.

We also have to address the unethical and immoral issues of unsustainable plant farming.

Do I even need to mention glysophate? https://www.politico.eu/article/mexico-food-agriculture-clim...

We need to go the other direction on plants. Less plants and more animals. We need to start breeding and expanding the amount of animals very very significantly.
