Beyond Meat!

[GRADS]

Any of you guys get in on it yesterday?

[bocco]

No but I did hear about it on the news. Just my opinion but I don't think it will hold the price.

 

[monkeyswrench]

...I was kind of worried what Grads would put under a meat title...

 

[RCDave]

LOL. That would be like ignoring a totally beautiful hot and willing woman laying next to you and opting for the blow up doll....

I picked this up at the store, It's actuality very good with cheese on it. It is good if you're looking for a healthier alternative, this plant-based burger is a good change of pace because if your eating a lot of well-done or barbecued meats has been linked to increased risk for colon cancer. I think you can buy this at Carl’s Jr.

Interesting. I'll be honest, I had never heard of it before a few days ago. I guess they sell it at Carls Jr., Del Taco and A&W. Normally I'm not into this stuff but because of my prostate issues I need to cut back on my red meat intake. From what I have heard it seems to be a pretty good alternative.

I could tell you a meat story from two days ago that would make you drop to your knees.

 

[riverroyal]

I've had it. It taste good. Unfortunately I dont doubt it's better for you than some fast food 'beef'.

 

[GRADS]

The stock is up 175% in two days.

I tried impossible burgers ( a competitor of beyond beef) a few weeks ago for testing in my restaurants, and it was actually very good. I am definitely not one of those earthy crunchy vegan types, but this is the closet you will get to a actual burger. It has the same texture and mouth feel as a burger, and has the same char grilled taste as well. They are definitely not cheap though. My price was $10 a pound vs about $2.50 a pound I pay for a burger.
I think most restaurant using them are uncharging $3. for them, and heard it will be around $1 more in the fast food market BK is planning to go national with the impossible burgers

 

[Andy B.]

Don't kid yourself guys it's full of so many preservatives and fillers that aren't on the label bottom line a burger you cook on your own grill made from at least 90% lean meat is still better for you. It's still fast food don't mean to be a downer but it's all pretty much crap.

The stock is up 175% in two days.

the only ones who've made ~175% are the investment bankers (IPO price). It's only up ~54% from the opening price (shares the common stockholder was able to buy). On the whole, IPO's are a bad investment out of the gate. Maybe a day trade or so, but most decline in short order.

True, but still not bad for 2 days.

Wife and I are trading it. Got in yesterday at 66 and change, sold today at 71, back in later around 68. We think there may be a pop next week after more discussion about it this weekend, but who knows. After we saw the IPO on CNBC, did some research and think this one has legs, especially with the millennials. Then heard some advertisements from Del Taco and others touting the meat substitute.

BTW, AAPL is our biggest position

 

[RCDave]

I tried a one of these burgers today at Carls Jr.. Tastes and smells terrible. Last one I'll ever have.

A burger is by definition not the healthiest choice. Trying to make one so, makes it worth the time and effort to just choose better/healthier food.

Oh geez, thanks for the heads up. Have not yet tried the product. If its that crappy, adios BYND.

 

[TPC]

The crumbles are good and it seems ya use half what the meat recipe calls for.

The patties stink us out of the house.
Brutal smell and it lingers.

Their chicken strips don’t work at all.

They have been trying to sell it and push it out here for awhile now.. I had assumed it was everywhere?

Short answer is no, I won't eat it.

[Gelcoater]

Short answer is no, I won't eat it.

That’s my initial reaction as well.
I’ll probably try it once, to see for myself.
I abstained from sushi until well into my 40s because I thought fire was invented to cook meat, in particular fish! Steak is fine bloody Lol.
As it turns out sushi is fuckin awesome, so I can’t not try food anymore.

 

[WhatExit?]

I could tell you a meat story from two days ago that would make you drop to your knees.

It’s in poor taste to make dick jokes while a guy has a broken dick

That's kind of along the lines of my meat story. I should show you guys the pic of what came out of my dick two days ago.

I like my steaks still walking, actually burgers too. I love sushi (actually like sashimi the most), so much so I can't eat cooked fish now.

You're using "poor taste" and "dick" in the same sentence in a thread GRADS started?! That's really wrong

Believe me this......Sushi tastes 10,000 times better than the veggie burger dung.....Don't bother, unless you like to eat something that smells like a bucket of buttholes!

Go on...

Cocksucker!

[RCDave]

A little comedic context.....

Just think of this, the smell you smell is connected directly to the taste buds sensors. So when you drive by a milk farm and smell the Shiat, your actually tasting it.....

 

[Melloyellovector]

My chick is a non meat eater. The impossible burger is crazy it fucking even bleeds like real meat when cooking. Haven’t tried the burgers myself. But I’ve had the beyond meat crumbles she uses for tacos w seasoning and it’s good. Like my diet consists of 80% plus red meat and I’ll eat it and can’t even tell the difference.

Couple years ago during annual 4th party we had a batch sitting inside for the dirty vegans. Well later in the night the real meat was gone. Peeps started going inside and coming out with plates of it asking what the hell kind of meat this is, because it’s good, Lmao
Uhhhhh it’s not meat, lol

 

[Shlbyntro]

I dont subscribe to any of those "special" diets. Mine consists of about 50% pork vs all other proteins and a fare amount of carbs. All other food groups are minimal. I do ok and eat what I feel tastes best! If I die young, fuck it. Quality over quantity right?!

I would like to let the vegans on this board know, all 2 of you, that vegan alternatives kill more animals than real meat. Agriculture demands on water world wide lead to more wild animal mortality than bullets and lightning sticks combined.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Meat!

Why do vegans love complicated shit that’s supposed to look and taste just like meat?

[nameisbond]

I like real meat too much to try it. One of the things I hate about my province is all the restaurants think its illegal to serve med rare burgers, all cook well done. I miss going out and getting a rare burger. My diet lately is mostly sushi (sashimi) and rolls. My older brother's (1970) best friend since kindergarten is Japanese. So we've been eating sushi since the 1970's and before it was popular. If I cut out red meat, Id learn to make my own Japanese food!

 

[GRADS]

I like meat as much as the next guy but there comes a time in your life when cutting back on it just makes sense. I'm looking forward to trying one of these plant based ones.

 

[hallett21]

Had one at “the counter” the impossible burger. It was damn good. You can’t expect fast food versions to come even close.

Processed fake meat food....yum.....

Better to eat healthy most of the time. And have a real burger from time to time....

 

[Gelcoater]

I think you might like some kinds a little more than the next guy.

Hey Grads

How’s your health lately? Are you feeling better? Did the prostate surgery take care of everything? Serious question. Although you have a very twisted political view I don’t like seeing any of us here having health problems.

 

[4Waters]

Del Taco screwed up and put that shit in my burrito last week and it tasted like shit, there is no substitute for beef or pork for that matter, Turkey bacon SMH.

 

[troostr]

Why the fuck would a non vegan even try that shit? If you can’t eat beef, try turkey, even salmon is a better option than shit that needs chemicals to “bleed” like beef. Soy is awful for you too. I don’t understand the vegan deal to begin with. If you want to be second tier on the food chain, fine. Eat your chemical infused shit, you’ll still die sooner than the meat eaters. That’s just my opinion of course.
