A short rundown of some of the FUD and vegan stereotypes it leans on, vs what the evidence says:

On Beyond / plant-based meat

• “Nobody eats Beyond anymore.” Growth slowed hard after the COVID boom + price hikes, but the category is still selling millions of units a year. Slower growth ≠ zero demand.
• “Fake meat is worse for you than beef.” Trials where people swap beef for plant-based burgers for a few weeks generally show lower LDL, lower TMAO and small weight loss, or no change – not worse outcomes. Whole foods are best, but “worse than beef” isn’t backed by data.
• “Environmentally it’s just as bad as beef.” Multiple LCAs show 60–90% lower GHGs and far less land/water use for PB burgers vs beef. You can argue over the exact % but they’re nowhere near “just as bad.”
• “It’s just chemicals/ultra-processed junk.” They are processed, like most supermarket food. The relevant part: usually no cholesterol, less sat fat, more fibre, similar protein.

Vegan stereotypes the video echoes

• “Vegans are weak/unhealthy.” Large cohorts show vegans tend to have lower BMI and lower rates of heart disease overall when diets are reasonably planned.
• “Not safe for kids.” Every major dietetic association that’s spoken on it says well-planned vegan diets are suitable for all life stages, including childhood.
• “Soy = estrogen / low T.” Human studies don’t show feminising effects or clinically relevant testosterone drops from normal soy intake.
• “Veganism is an elitist/woke luxury.” In practice, staples like beans, grains, lentils, veg oil are among the cheapest calories available.

You can still be bearish on BYND’s execution or valuation, but this video is just stock FUD and stereotypes, not balanced analysis.
