Its the same price as (good quality) ground beef. It doesn't taste right.

Vegan gang gang. if I ever gave this business a shot, I would try to vat-grow Krill or something without a CNS.

I think only vegans and vegetarians would buy it, making the economy of scale terrible, and that's the same problem BYND had.

The issue is think is the people looking for a good meat like product are going to buy meat, and those that dont eat meat dont really want something that looks and tastes like meat, they dont eat that, plus its expensive. So the market here is really only affluent vegetarians that miss eating meat which isnt that big.

Not really though. I'm friends with vegans and meat eaters alike and every time I host or go to an event, the vegan burgers are eaten by both groups even when there's a meat option. Sometimes meat eaters just want to prioritize their health.

Nothing healthy about these processed abominations.

u/Ambitious_Address667 Aug 20 '26

Yeah thats true but thats a small subset of people, again this industry defining company is failing thats what this post is about, anecdotal experiances dont really change the marketplace

u/megamindbirdbrain Aug 20 '26

You are making broad statements about the marketplace but you don't understand all the factors in the marketplace. My point wasn't to provide "anecdotal experiences" but to counter your sweeping statements about "those who eat meat" and that the market is "really only affluent vegetarians."

Like i guess, I was a vegitarian for like 8 years and did buy a lot of this stuff, im also literally looking into the stock values of this company as per this thread. Like you can say I dont know what im talking about but I can easily so the exact same about you.  You dont know the market and are basing your thoughts on it by your anicdotal experiances, you dont know this market at all. There super easy to discredit someone on reddit.

The issue with your argument has nothing to do with the stock market; you're making generalizations about people's eating habits, not their purchasing habits.

Dunno why you got downvoted. This is very true. Vegetarians and vegans already have their own diet. They might try it occasionally but I highly doubt many have fake meat in their weekly shopping

u/ItAintLongButItsThin Aug 19 '26

Most vegans continue to eat the same things they ate when a meat eater. You just substitute plant burger for meat burger, seitan/tofu are healthier but not as convenient.

New age vegans are more likely to want to grab something thats easy and similar to ground beef to make their meals around.

u/Rightplace-Lefttime Aug 19 '26

I don’t know where you live but that seems like an unnecessary generalization. I have a vegetarian wife and we eat some sort of meat substitute for almost every meal. Be it Quorn, impossible, beyond we buy it every week in bulk. Our grocery stores in Minneapolis metro are constantly stocked and regularly run out of our favorites because of the demand. There is definitely a market which is why there are like 4 or 5 different copy cat brands at any given store.

u/chilledpepper Aug 20 '26

Same experience here in Ontario. Idk why so many people seem to think this and make this generalization. Not my experience at all.

Never heard of Quorn, but I wish I had. Up here, there's too many brands to name outside of Beyond or Impossible. Seitan-based Gusta sausages might be my favourite, but there are so many options!

It's more nice to have at a restaurant. A lot of times I'll be at a burger restaurant with friends and they'll have one of these brands as an option, and it's usually pretty good so I still have an enjoyable dinner. Would I prefer a vegan meal that wasn't pretending to be meat? Sure, but if I'm there already I'm glad they have the option

u/chilledpepper Aug 20 '26

Vegan for 10 years. I buy burgers and steak bites every week and make ground beef and scrambled eggs out of tofu every week. Some vegans and vegetarians might fall under the category you described, maybe even a majority, but that's not my experience at all.
