Professor Don Layman critiques the "Impossible" and "Beyond" meat products, noting they are highly processed with dozens of ingredients, some of which lack FDA approval. The discussion highlights the regulatory disparity between the highly restricted animal commodity industry and the grain-based industry, which has more freedom in its advertising claims.

Good Morning America's Becky Worley featured a segment on plant-based meat alternatives, ranking products from Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. The report highlighted "heme" as the ingredient that gives fake meat its beef-like quality. Critics argue the segment functions as a native advertisement for the "Great Reset" agenda, which seeks to replace animal protein with lab-grown alternatives and insects.

Retail data shows that while meat and water are being cleared from shelves, consumers are largely avoiding "Beyond Meat" products and Dasani bottled water. In one high-profile case, a man was blocked from eBay for attempting to price-gouge 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. Observers note that even in a crisis, certain products like vegan meat alternatives remain unpopular, suggesting a potential red flag for investors in those sectors.

As African Swine Fever decimates China's pig population, companies are attempting to introduce plant-based pork alternatives. John C. Dvorak predicts these will fail because Chinese culinary culture prizes the energy and flavor found in animal fat, which plant-based products cannot accurately replicate.

The Beyond Meat IPO is scrutinized for its timing relative to an IPCC report urging a global shift toward meatless diets. Major investors in the company include Kleiner Perkins and Al Gore’s sustainability fund. The alignment of the environmental report and the public offering is suggested to be a coordinated effort to maximize investment returns for climate-focused funds.
