You're desperate to lash out at Beyond Meat and other flesh alternatives because you're addicted to abusing animals, Dan. You can't give up your addiction to cows and chickens, which is endorsed and sponsored by the state, big agri, and big pharma. You feel guilty about paying companies to enslave, torture, fatten up, abuse, breed, murder, and hack up sentient beings. This is your way of striking back at something which you can't accept because it would change your worldview.
There's no ethical way to farm sentient beings for their body parts and reproductive byproducts.
And it's completely unnecessary. Humans require NOTHING nutritionally from animals. Nothing.
So the opinion of some businessman (who no longer works for the company) that the product is unhealthy is moot. Why you even brought it up, like it was some sort of evidence, I don't understand.
You're suddenly making videos warning people about salt in their food? Hahaha, come on. You don't care about high sodium levels in foods. You're motivated to discredit Beyond, but not because it's actually unhealthy. You said it yourself - nobody who is worried about their health eats burgers every day. This is something you eat now and then, not all day every day. Like chips. Like chocolate. Like pizza.
It's actually kinda funny (but pathetic) to see you scrambling to deflect the guilt you feel about your lifestyle choices. You're normally a smart guy... It's almost like you're joking, trolling perhaps, but clearly you're legit trying to find anything you can to make Beyond look bad.
Beef is the #1 destroyer of the environment, producer of C02, producer of methane, user of O2, user of water, user of land space, polluter of rivers and oceans. The grains raised to feed cows (which could have fed all the world's humans many times over) are largely grown using slash and burn techniques, often in old-growth forests like the Amazon. This has been going on increasingly for decades, and we've altered the face of the planet in our desire for cheap cow flesh. It's unsustainable and coming to an end.
We already have enough farm land to feed the planet with plants, Dan. Far more than we need, even. All we have to do is stop eating protein from cows, and start eating protein from legumes.
It's as though you didn't do your research on this one and just went with your emotions. You're wrong, dude, big time.
Beyond burgers use non-GMO ingredients. There's no wheat (gluten), and no animal products of any kind. There's also no soy. If you read the ingredient list there's only a handful. Pea and bean protein, coconut oil, beet juice, garlic powder, etc. Really high-quality food, and that is coming from a guy who is incredibly selective about what he eats. It's delicious and worth the price.
Criticizing vegans for buying Beyond products at restaurants that also sell animal products is ridiculous, Dan. Vegans have always bought at supermarkets that also sell meat products, too, but you didn't make videos about that! We have to vote with our dollars, Dan. We have to support companies that sell products we want to see more of. What do you want vegans to do, grow all their own plants and make all their own raw meals at home? Come on.
Shameful garbage videos like this take away from the real work you do! Keep it together and focus on what matters. Vegan burgers aren't a threat to you, except exposing your illogical emotional flawed thought process. They're certainly no threat to individual liberty. With everything going on in the world right now, how can you be so hard up for video topics? Plant patties are a win for the good guys, Dan. Learn to see small victories when they happen, because they don't happen often.
Just stop abusing animals - go vegan - and nobody gets hurt!!
