There's a lot of things that the cow eats during its life that don't make it onto that label but do definitely make it into your body. none of the ingredients in the list above scare me. If you still think that beef is better than a plant based alternative for you or the environment you are disillusioned. I'm not vegetarian either
You're buying into the myth that if it's made of plants, it must be better than meat.
The nutrition of Beyond Burger is pretty much on par with the nutrition of beef.
I'm not convinced that consuming "plant based alternatives" is a step in the right direction in dealing with health and environment issues especially when compared to more traditional approach like eating balanced meals using a plate model.
Eating more veggies, on the other hand, yes much better.
> In what way exactly would "eating more veggies" be much better when meat is already the only nutritionally complete[1] food
Easy, meat has no fiber.
Western (read: American) diet consists of over consumption of meat, refined sugar, and processed grains, and woeful lack of vegetables, and lesser extent fruits.
If the value of Beyond Meat is "better for you, better for environment", the health benefits seem dubious at best, and environmentally, I don't know if anyone has compared the impact on a per-oz of beef vs per-oz of beyond meat--though the meat industry at scale has had serious negative impact on our environment (putting it mildly)
Most of us on the western diet, would do better to increase our consumption of veggies.

Yet originally you phrased it as if it were a general truth, so as to (intentionally or unintentionally) have the effect of misleading your fellow humans not born and raised or influenced by dietary patterns of your country, which is what my query was (is) all about.
Vitamin C: No one on the carnivore diet, including those who have been doing it for >20 years (even without organ meats), developed scurvy.
> None of the links you posted have any scientific merit.
Therefore this is such a waste of a sentence (aside from your pulling in scientific authority to back your increasingly senseless beliefs). Ain't life grand!
I think if you go to peers who you trust from old roles there should be no awkwardness in asking for a rec. However, I totally empathize with every company seeming similar when you're an applicant. It's hard to get a sense of the intangibles of a workplace until you actually work there. That's something I'd like to see a startup tackle
