I don't want to eat that.
Where do the "natural flavors" come from?
On a side note, I am vegan. I love veggies either raw or cooked. My favorite way to eat them though is after being processed by a cow, pig, deer etc.
Black bean burgers are good, they're not at all like meat, but they are tasty and wholesome.
The impossible burger tastes really close to a real hamburger. It's not quite there, but you might be able to low-key pass it off. Not sure what the point would be, because health wise they are the same and the fake one costs more. I guess if you object to eating meat, the Impossible burger is a great choice.
But the beyond burger doesn't taste like veggies and also doesn't taste like meat. Not surprised that they're not doing well.
We've eaten the Beyond Meat burgers. They're not that bad. They are a little better in fat & cholesterol than hamburger but other than that not particularly healthy (high in sodium for example). The sausages with some grilled peppers and onions are actually pretty good but you won't mistake them for real sausage either.
When they're on sale i'll grab a few for the freezer for when i'm in a pinch. They cook quickly and don't taste that bad to me. I probably eat 2-3/year.
