Comparing high quality meat with a highly processed "meat alternative" shouldn't be judge on taste, and they're not comparable otherwise.
Beyond Meat burger ingredients:
Water, Pea Protein*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Beet Juice Extract (for color).
Many of these things are not good for many people, and many if not the majority of people aren't connected to their body properly, conditioned by ego mind disconnecting them. Personally I can't do pea protein, canola oil, coconut oil, rice, bean, potato, apple, vinegar, lemon, or lecithin. Those all agitate my GI tract causing different levels of discomfort or pain.
What you find in meat however is the same as what's naturally in humans, it's the animal concentrating the plants they eat into nutrients, protein, etc - and high fat red meat like beef has exactly what your body and brain needs and in the right portions.
I'm not trying to argue it's not possible to make a comparable option, however it's highly unlikely. I do wonder if a cultured meat substitute is possible as well, as the highest quality meat are from animals in their natural environment under natural environmental stress conditions, it's more likely to create a comparable product though; getting cost down and texture will be the biggest challenges.

- loceng 6y agoThat's quite the shallow, narrow view, no? I also said high fat meat, so you're not even responding honestly or correctly to what I said.
- Jolter 6y ago> Many of these things are not good for many people Irrelevant. They are fine for the absolute majority of people. For almost everyone in the world, eating Beyond Meat burgers would be better than meat burgers. You should eat according to your body’s needs, but just because you have GI issues does not devalue innovations in food technology.
- loceng 6y agoCurious what your background and life experience is to make such statements? You're quite dismissive and claiming all of those foods are fine for the absolute majority of people is quite the grand statement, along with the statement that Beyond Meat burgers would be better than real meat burgers.
