It’s a burger. It’s not meant to be consumed daily and it switching to it or other plant based burger decreases the amount of meat consumed.

No matter what it’s a much better deal than going in to a mcdonalds / whatever and getting the burger of the month from there.




If you go to McDonalds and order a burger with fries and a coke, then surely just changing the actual meat in the burger to a Beyond Meat burger is going to have close zero effect on the overall "healthiness" of that meal.


I’m not referring only to healthiness. It’s also better for the environment and cows didn’t need to be slaughtered for that.


I would be totally fine with that. The goal here isn't to force feed everyone healthier food, it's to inch us closer to a more sustainable and humane nutritional pipeline.
