Beyond Meat is bankrupt. Sales collapsed. Debt exploded. But here’s the truth no one in the plant-based PR machine wants to admit: It’s not real food. 🚫 Ultra-processed soy & pea protein isolates — stripped of natural nutrients. 🚫 Seed oils — inflammatory omega-6 overload. 🚫 Added flavorings & methylcellulose — gut irritant with zero nutritional value. 🚫 Fortified vitamins — trying to “patch” what processing destroyed. When you combine bad nutrition, high price, and declining trust, bankruptcy isn’t a surprise — it’s inevitable. 💭 Whole foods > lab foods. Every time.
