I mean beyond meat production process is famously industrial and complex; there's even South Park episode on it where Cartman agrees to eat it because it's the same unhealthy factory made slop that he's used to.
Now, for the beyond meat oil use. They apparently dropped refined coconut and canola oil in favour of avocado oil. And oh boy, avocado oil production is almost as bad as if Nestle owned all of it, but at least it should be healthier than coconut/canola mix, right? And then most avocado oil is fraudulent soybean/sunflower/other mixes.
And then there's also avocado oil deforestation/water use etc.
My points are:
Beyond Meat is slop; let's not switch processed cold cuts for a sludge.
you're better off (health-wise and climate wise) making different bean patties (chop 'em, freeze 'em, shape 'em, cook 'em) and lowering your red meat intake than switching to beyond meat.
