Beyond Meat or Maple Leaf Foods | General financial discussion | Discussion forum

Oscar, pretty well every young person has been taught and believes meat is evil (talked to a teen lately?) so I'd say the future consumers for the less-nutritious and pricier meat alternatives are well-established and growing in number, though I've no idea which particular businesses will prosper or fail.

Bill , you're right . Green new deal religion is the agenda. The way things are going I'm surprised no one has suggested Soylent Green as a necessity to avert the climate emergency.Technically speaking , Soylent green already exists as they are now able to grow meat in the lab so now it's just an ethical debate on offering human lab grown meat as a matter of choice to the consumer. Who wants seconds ?
So then if I had a stake in the game I would try to find out who has best chance of securing contracts to supply prisons , retirement homes and other "conscripted clientele " as they were accurately described as in a book I once read. Also find out who supplies the ingredients .
Rabbit droppings are vegetarian approved

pooreva, StatsCan stats indicate life expectancy in Canada has never been higher than today, though it is true that life expectancy for those over 75 has only gone up a little over the last 90 years.

A lot of people think vegan diets are healthy plus there's a crowd that likes to virtual-signal via their food buying & consumption. I don't see that changing anytime soon so there may be a large market for this stuff in the next few years, may be money to be made for investors.

If you really want a burger made of meat, then why not just make your own and you'll know exactly what's in it. It's about the easiest thing you could possibly make!

If you want to eat vegetarian, don't eat burgers. I don't think any of the prepared ones are any good nutritionally, but there are tons of healthy veg alternatives.
You can make homemade veggie burgers, but in our experience, they don't work out very well and fall apart.

I am indifferent. I eat a burger about once every five years. I don't like them, no matter what they're made of.
I have, however, tasted the ones that A&W sells. I forget the name of the brand. They're pretty good if a burger is what you want, and really do resemble meat taste. I read somewhere that have have created synthetic heme, which does the job. The price, however, is ridiculous, at least to buy them in a store. I think they were $2 per patty.

I wouldn't invest in any of it. Our food habits are going to change a lot in the next few years. They will have to. But who knows what that will look like?

Maybe some of those "ethical" or "socially responsible" mutual funds or ETFs are a way to get exposure to this growing industry without having to try to pick the winners out of the crowd, some research might reveal which ones are buying into this. I'll not change my diet but apparently a lot of folks are so it certainly seems to be a growth area.  

I for one, won't be investing in Any of them❗

Take Note:

The Truth about highly processed plant-based 'fake meats' is already being exposed . . .
