"Beyond Meat, a four-year-old company that manufactures a meat substitute made mainly from soy and pea proteins and amaranth...Where one pound of cooked boneless chicken requires 7.5 pounds of dry feed and 30 liters of water, the same amount of Beyond Meat requires only 1.1 pound of ingredients and two liters of water...What sets Beyond Meat apart is how startlingly meat-like its product is. The "chicken" strips have the distinct fibrous structure of poultry, and they deliver a similar nutritional profile...but with zero cholesterol or saturated and trans fat"
"For example, a single pound of cooked beef, a family meal's worth of hamburgers, requires 298 square feet of land, 27 pounds of feed, and 211 gallons of water. "
"New York Times food correspondent and best-selling cookbook author Mark Bittman tried Beyond Meat in a blind taste test last year...and said that it "fooled me badly." "
