why do they need to eat burgers? just eat grass and mind your own business

Tbf, it's actually pretty tasty

They arent making much profit, and The hype died down in like 2018, so I think they are struggeling but isnt this a thread more for

It's in local grocery stores in my well-off part of town. It's been around for a couple of years. I've literally never seen anyone even look at it, let alone pick up a package.

it flopped hard, they took away the vegan section in supermarkets near me

Beyond and other overprived brands aren't selling. There are cheaper brands that actually sell decent amounts. It's still costly food though and you're better off just buying veggies and pasta.

It doesn't taste that bad and people trick themselves into thinking it's healthy even though it's a hyper-processed food and plant protein doesn't have the amino acids necessary for your body to use it.

The average consumer is a bit more concerned with their health than they were 20 years ago, many other processed foods also advertise themselves as a 'healthy breakfast' because it does help them to sell it.

i am curious how even then they managed to have even low-cost, small-margin supermarkets all around the globe stock them, i assume they let them sell the product and don't charge them if it doesn't sell? or maybe even pay them to stock the product. but i haven't seen anything confirming it

I’m a vegan. My mother used to buy it so that I would have something to eat when she grilled. I knew they weren’t great for me but I’d eat them on occasion. A&W does them really well.

Then I saw one that had melted and refroze in the freezer and came to my senses. I’m basically down to just eating raw ingredients, you can’t trust anything. Lots of places used to make veggie burgers out of actual vegetables but every major brand is made of seed oils now.
>just eat grass and mind your own business
They’ve been trying to cover up the indoor grass diet for centuries.

I imagine they use really cheap vegetables (oddly shaped and broken, but still edible) to make them, and they most likely buy in bulk, regular orders, so they can't be that expensive to make.
Most people still don't care about them because they don't need to virtue signal in the privacy of their own homes.

Yeah I forgot to mention they are expensive. There have always been veggie burgers, the new generation that came out in the last five years is just supposedly intended to taste more like meat. I wouldn’t know. I would say about 50% of people say they can’t taste a significant difference. I just liked it because I could finally eat fast food again. McDonalds removing the veggie burger made road trips a lot harder. In retrospect I should thank God there wasn’t a market for it.

I would suspect they are worse for you than actual meat. Incredibly calorie dense, entire thing is basically just a puck of canola oil.
I don’t think they have a ton of actual vegetables in them. The main ingredient is pea protein and canola.

>pea protein and canola.
Even cheaper for them to make them out of those. That's nearly free on an industrial scale.

It tastes nothing like real beef and yet has the fat content of F grade 80% lean beef.
>Only difference is that it's all seed and coconut oils.
The things are effectively a puck of chemically processed poison
It is also more expensive per pound than ground sirloin, even at clownworld meat prices.

Why are you a faggot vegetarian?

I worked at a resturant years ago and we made our own veggie burgers. It was mostly mushrooms but there was onions and garlic and a few other ingredients.
I'd eat them often, seared on a flat top they were really fucking good.
I have never seen this typenof veggie burger or ever had one that was good ever again. I don't even order them anymore because they taste like bean slop now.
I knownit isn't a burger. But it was a round disk that fit well on a bun. And was good with mayo lettuce and tomato.
I'm not vegetarian or vegan. Those things were just fuckkng good

To expand, if this was really meant to be the latest fast food "goo man" a la southpark food revolution
>why isn't it's priced commensurately.
Why did they think they could price this shit at $9 a pound.
Marketers had to have fucked this one and thank Christ for it. Imagine if certified meat flavored goyslop was $1 a pound, sold by the can, and marketed as a passible meat substitute for things people use low grade beef in already like chili and tacos and etc.

Instead they pressed it into burgers, priced it a premium, and tried to gaslight people who ate meat into buying it. Some did... once, then instantly realized as an unseasoned slab of pea protein and canola oil that it's only identifiable taste is the salt. We'd all be right fucked if it was marketed like the pink slime 2.0 it actually is and was a near free way to make a declining dollar stretch. They must have really, really messed up the math and consumer market data to go for the moonshot of "replacing" meat and having a 10,000% profit margin over the production waste these things are made out of. Only reason they even survived 'til now is that the sale of one pack of fake burgers pays for the whole unsold pallet. But the promised investor profits never materialized because meme vegans don't want to eat meat and everyone else can buy literally any grade of ground beef for less money.

Ask your father.
Yeah the mushroom ones are good. I’ve wanted to try making some with shredded beets, almost like a hashbrown. Not sure if it would work.
You aren’t going to believe me but in certain areas being or pretending to be vegan is a status thing. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid, but whenever white women started doing yoga en masse was about the time it started getting really easy to find vegan options. These are the people who they are primarily marketing to, as well as to groups - my family will prefer going somewhere they know I can eat, for instance, so we haven’t been to a McDonalds in close to two decades. Same with sitdown restaurants.

I understand the logic, but it's demonstrably false logic
>Surely if we make a vegan product that tastes like meat it'll have mass appeal
meat eaters bought meat. Vegan snobs turned their nose at eating something that (doesn't) taste like meat. Meat is cheaper. These companies sold an idea that anyone not deep up their own ass would have told them was doomed to fail and be entirely noncompetitive compared to Bocaburger and other legacy vegetarian meat option companies that failed to penetrate their target markets at a quarter of the price.

Take the 0% beef dystopian marketing campaign they ran with to it's idiocracy conclusion and make this slop borderline free and people would have bought it on a cost basis. The most expensive part of a can of beyondburger would be the can itself. Beyondburger as sold in patty form is an unseasoned slab of canola oil and pea protien, but if it was sold as faux ground and could be mixed with taco seasoning while having it's one "selling point", the arguable constency of meat, it'd be used in dishes that already masked the low quality of their meat.

Roll up roll up get your goyslop goyim
