    Lmao what the hell, the literal point of Beyond Meat is to not challenge the system. It succeeds at what is trying to do.

      I've been in shouting matches with vegans about Beyond Meat and similar companies making this exact point lol

        I am a vegan and I hate how veganism has a strangely large and vocal liberal/capital friendly group of practitioners.

      IDK about that but on the scale of 20 to 100 years in the absence of a successful proletarian movement it might make a huge difference.

        Just like all individual consumption choices. Hence the need for a successful proletarian movement.

      So you mean to say a plant based meat substitute is not meant to supplant meat in the western diet?

        For the individuals who chose it? Sure.

        For the entire food supply? Lol. Lmao

          Is there a capitalist explanation of why they wouldn't want to cannibalize the entire meat industry?

            They may want to but they're just not going to without some outside force(s) removing real meat as a practical choice.

              Surely they realize that if they don't move fast they're just gonna be a footnote in the history of our bug eating future, right?
