  For me it's the exact opposite. I'm a vegetarian for ideological reasons, not health ones. I'm not the healthy kind of vegetarian at all. For me the only flaw of Beyond Meat is that it's a bit too salty and it sits a bit funny (weird-flavored burps after you eat it). They have a solidly good product, it's a shame they can't make it work. As a parent one big problem I had with them was that for home use they only sell the huge quarter pound patties (while they do shrink when you cook them, they do so less than beef) which were too much for my kid. I had to thaw them, slice them down the middle (which is tricky) and cook the two halves separately. They're much too big for a standard burger bun. It seems obvious they're going for a prestigious form-factor but missing out on being able to sell something more universal.
