Beyond Meat is likely headed for bankruptcy by 2027 due to its $1 billion owed in convertible bonds, but its stock has retained some value.

    Overpriced. Tastes fine, but they’re selling a brand and not just tvp.

    If only they could get the price to match meat. I’d buy it every time.

      Beyond is the price that meat should cost, but the meat industry is heavily subsidized.

    It’s a shame; they’re expensive and yet the best-tasting meat substitute I’ve tried. I especially enjoy their minced meat, for home-made dumplings and belyashi, although I only make them like twice a year.

      I actually prefer Beyond to beef burgers, and back when beef prices were soaring, they cost about the same. But yes, they need to lower the price.

      Yes it will! Still like a good black bean burger over these, but I respect that this is a niche of the vegan world that some like, and have even used to transition to veganism.

    I only tried Beyond Meat once when A&W came out with their Beyond Burger. At first I thought “Hey this is not bad?” But then after a minute or so, I noticed a kind of aftertaste I didn’t care for.

    I guess these days, they make other things like sausage and chicken substitutes, and I haven’t tried those. But there are a lot of other non-meat burger options these days.

    It’s so expensive that I have only tried it when buying from restaurants. I wouldn’t buy them directly because they’re not affordable nor being sold in a place close to me.

      I get it occasionally. It’s vegan junk food, something for a treat but not every meal. And when I do decide to make some mince, I usually go for the Impossible light. Or just use tvp when I’m cooking for myself.
