Did anyone invest in Beyond Meat (BYND)?

[disneysteve]

We still use and like them. We may actually have them for dinner tonight. Hopefully they stay in business. If not we’d probably switch to Impossible burgers which are also good.

Why not short the stock? If the trend is clear...make money from it.

I had no idea DS eats it but it does align. Why would you eat it? But it is your body so you do you but no one could pay me enough to eat it. The only way I'd eat it is if someone put a gun to my head and said eat it, then I'd eat it rather than being shot. This is the ingredients;


Beyond Meat products are made from plant-based proteins, fats, natural flavors, and binders designed to replicate the taste, texture, and appearance of meat. Core Ingredients

Protein Sources: The primary proteins in Beyond Meat come from pea protein isolate, rice protein, mung bean protein, and sometimes faba bean protein. Pea protein is the main component, providing a complete amino acid profile and meat-like texture, while rice and mung bean proteins add structure and improve binding.

Fats: The products use a blend of coconut oil, canola oil, avocado oil, and cocoa butter to mimic the juiciness and marbling of animal meat. Coconut oil solidifies at room temperature, simulating animal fat, while canola and avocado oils provide liquid fat for texture and mouthfeel.

Binders and Texture Enhancers: Ingredients like methylcellulose (a plant-derived binder) and potato or tapioca starch help maintain moisture, structure, and a burger-like consistency.

Natural Colors and Flavors: Beet juice extract gives the characteristic red color, and yeast extract or other natural flavorings provide savory, meaty taste. Beyond Meat products are free from artificial colors, flavors, and GMOs.

Chef's Resource+2 Additional Notes

• Water is a key component to create juiciness and help blend ingredients.
  
  1
• Beyond Meat is soy-free, gluten-free, and suitable for vegans.
  
  2
• The products are highly processed to replicate meat texture and flavor, with protein content comparable to beef but lower in cholesterol and saturated fat.

  By combining these plant-based proteins, fats, and natural flavorings, Beyond Meat achieves a meat-like sensory experience while remaining entirely plant-based and sustainable.

As for shorting the stock, it is very risky and you could lose a lot of money should it rebound. When I short a stock, I watch it everyday. It is too stressful shorting stocks.

Have you read any of the replies? I said that in post #2 right after you started this thread 2 years ago.

And yes, we did have Beyond burgers for dinner tonight. With sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, and cheese. And some roasted potatoes.

2 years ago is a long time. I cannot even remember what I ate for dinner 2 nights ago, lol.
