Interesting, I’m not even vegetarian and I really like beyond meat. It doesn’t taste exactly like real meat but it is so good in a different way and I get it like whenever I have a chance
I don’t know, I think it’s the mix and intensity of spices that they use, maybe?
And we agree on the idea. I’m not vegetarian but I’ve long decided that vegetarian-branded food should be judged on its own merits as food, not as “adequate replacement”. Like: is this veggie burger yummy, do I enjoy eating it? That’s the question, not “is it a good enough approximation to meat”. If I want meat, I’ll eat meat.
So (good) beef, chicken, veggie burgers: I like them because they taste good. Beyond meat burgers: I don’t like them because they make me feel yucky afterwards. That’s all.
Yup, I hate “beyond meat”, it also makes me feel bad. I much prefer regular veggie burgers at this point.

I think the beyond meat is mostly for non-vegetarians to see that you can get similar feel using vegetables.
Generally I would rather eat real meat or when I want something vegetarian just give me a bean/pea patty with some good spices in.
