After exiting Beyond Meat, Tyson Foods will launch meatless products this summer
After exiting Beyond Meat, Tyson Foods said that it will roll out its own plant-based meat substitutes beginning this summer.
The Jimmy Dean owner sold its stake in Beyond before the company went public, citing its desire to produce vegetarian meat substitutes under its own umbrella of brands. CEO Noel White told analysts on the quarterly conference call Monday that the plant-based product will launch this summer on a limited basis, with a wider rollout in October and November.
[...] Beyond made the strongest market debut so far this year on Thursday, surging 163%. The stock has a market value of $3.97 billion, dwarfed by Tyson's own market value of $22.66 billion. Tyson shares gained more than 2% Monday.
Despite the difference in market value, Beyond and other makers of plant-based meat alternatives — such as Impossible Foods — pose a threat to Tyson. Beyond Meat's CEO, Ethan Brown, told CNBC that the company is trying to capture the meat industry's customers. Its gluten- and soy-free products are meant to more closely resemble and taste like meat than previous iterations of veggie burgers.

I recognize your assumption, but I don't see any data backing it up.
Also, as much of this is off in the future and so there is no data for it, I don't see how your guarantee would be worth anything at all.
But feel free to enlighten me.

Thanks for the link. That helps, although I would personally find it more enlightening if they had a side-by-side comparison between their product and real meat. Just an idea.

FYI, Impossible Foods is a different company, with different products. Impossible Burger is the one with plant-based "heme" that "bleeds":

I remember someone complaining vociferously about that 5 grams of carbs in the Beyond Burger.
(I'll note that the basic nutrition facts might not encompass everything that could possibly be said about comparing grass-fed beef to a meat substitute to determine "superiority".)

Yeah, the carbs would kill it for me right now. I'm working the low carb side of the street right now, sadly.
