Beyond Meat: Meat-Alternative Solution?

If you are considering eating plant-based meat alternative options because of health, keep reading. If you are eating it because of the climate, I highly recommend reading my blog post on Meat and Climate Change.

Many public figures are advocates of plant-based diets for physical health and for climate change.

Oftentimes, these meat-based alternatives like Beyond Meat never consider the harm of monocropping. In my book, Carnivore Cure, I talk about regenerative agriculture vs. monocrop agriculture (and conventional farming).

One example of monocrop foods is Beyond Meat. Let’s dig into the ingredients.

PEA PROTEIN

The first ingredient is water. I wonder if they are using high-quality water. You can read my post on water here and here.

The next ingredient is pea protein isolate.

Peas can cause food sensitivities. Peas can cause issues with people susceptible to gout. Pea protein does not contain essential fatty acids which are critical for optimal health. It’s likely why Beyond Meat has a legume disclaimer.⠀
