The Vegan Lifestyle: Why It’s Healthier Not To Eat Animals

Faking Meat – The Leaders In The Industry

For some, the hardest part of becoming vegan is giving up meat. It’s not only the delicious taste of meat they crave, but years of psychological conditioning making them believe they have to eat meat every day. That’s where companies such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods step in. These two companies are the frontrunners in the “fake meat” consumerism market today.

Both these companies put every effort into making their “meat” taste as close to real meat as possible. Some of the ingredients in Beyond Meat are pea protein, beet juice extract (for the red color), and mung bean protein. In Impossible Burgers, you will find heme (soy leghemoglobin) – an ingredient that adds flavor and color to their burgers so that it “bleeds” just like regular meat. Impossible Foods takes this (heme) out of the roots of soy plants, inserting it into yeast that is genetically engineered, and then begin the process of fermenting it. These companies have a huge market cap as they fulfill the needs of the fast-growing vegan community. Even fast food chains such as McDonald’s added vegan burgers to their menu based on their products. Want to know what will happen to your body if you give up meat? Read on…
