Forget about the end product Beyond Burger for a minute. If I told you I was going to mix the following ingredients together, would you consume the mixture?: water, pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, cellulose from bamboo, methylcellulose, potato starch, natural flavor, maltodextrin, yeast extract, salt, sunflower oil, vegetable glycerin, dried yeast, gum arabic, citrus extract, ascorbic acid, beet juice extract, acetic acid, succinic acid, modified food starch, and annatto.
This is just another manufactured 'food' in our crazy experimental Western diet that has caused chronic disease to become epidemic over the past 50-60 years. If you want to get healthy - eat whole foods only (i.e., meat, seafood, produce. Period.) Nothing in a bag, box, can or anything that requires a label to explain to you what's in it! Humans of the last 100 years or so are the only species on the planet to get chronic disease (80-90% of us have, at the very least, metabolic syndrome). We are also the only species on the planet to be confused about what we're supposed to eat. It's not coincidental.
