> at least from my perspective.

If you are afraid of salt I guess. That's an old idea and somewhat a religion formed off a misdirect marketing campaign.

Any Who even with salt is evil not much difference at McDonalds -

I don't see Beyond Meat as a replacement to steak, it's very unhealthy compared to that.

Reducing livestock is the most 2nd most pressing environmental issue in the world, to fixing fishing. I can't think of anything else that matters more than those two. We need to farm the oceans (70%) and leave land (30%) for hunters.

It's not that I am afraid of salt, but that many of our foods have an added amount of salt that cumulatively is fairly high. No different to not being afraid of sugar, but there are foods which are abnormally high in it.

My point being is that you're not going to win over enough people to eat Beyond Meat if its just due to environmental factors. You also need to give people an additional benefit, in the case of Beyond Meat whilst its better for the environment, its not better for our bodies given how highly its processed.
