Default Meat substitutes. Have you tried them?

So BYND debuted this week and with $87 million in revenue they are trading with a $5 billion market cap. I tried the "Beyond Burger", and I liked it. Anyone else?

Look up “impossible burger”. Supposed to be pretty good but I haven’t tried it yet.

Have tried a few veggie burgers now, and they are generally likable. Not as good as the real thing, but a good day in and out alternative. Turkey burgers are also surprisingly good, my family eats them at home regularly with no complaints. I’ll save beef for special occasions.

They have updated the impossible burger over the years so even if you tried one a few years ago, it has improved. To me it is 95% there. The only thing off is the texture, but honestly most real burgers fail on that part too.

The other thing to watch out for is false advertisement. Some restaurants are claiming they offer impossible burgers but aren't using the real deal.

The company is moving onto pork and chicken products too.

BYND is up $70 since its IPO. Someone likes their product.
