All meat is plant based :) I only can interpret that label because I'm now cynically familiar with the deceptive advertising practices currently used. But, to someone not used to how advertisers try to make one thing seem to be another, saying 'beyond meat' is 'plant based' does not communicate this thing is just a bunch of vegetables.

  How do 'beyond meat' and 'plant based' communicate 'there is absolutely no meat in this product'? They do not in the English lexicon within my head.

    "Beyond Meat" is the brand name, and I suspect that's perfectly clear to people. No one buying "Land O'Lakes" butter expects to open the box and find a diorama of Minnesota inside. I also suspect people who deem beef burgers "plant-based" on a colloquial level are few and far between.

      Assuming I am a person, 'beyond meat' is not perfectly clear to people.

        Assuming those people are arguing in good faith.
