"oh, look, a product i've never tasted or have any desire to try...let me make some negative comments that are rehashed 'jokes' already said 10 times in the thread"
i'm glad to see beyond meat products readily available, just watch out for you nose when you try to buy some.

You can hardly say that growing Soybeans and Corn (or any crop) in MASSIVE amounts doesn't have an environmental impact on the land. A field of soybeans is a much less natural state of the land than a field grazed by cattle. If you think eating plant based doesn't involve the killing off of environments, ecosystems and thus animals, you just don't fully understand where your food comes from.
I'm not one bit against anyone eating however they want, but let's not pretend that eating this extra-processed, plant based meat replacement is better for than environment or humans. You've simply changed from directly killing animals for your protein to indirectly killing animals for your protein.
I also totally understand some of the ethical issues with meat productions as well, there's no perfect answer here but just because you eat "plant based meat" doesn't mean you aren't leading to the death of innocent animals.
I've grown up in the midwest surrounded by farms of all types (mostly corn, soybean, grazed cattle, wheat, pig and chicken farms). The fact of the matter is mass produced food of any kind is going to have an environmental impact, this is why I grow as much of my food as possible, and buy meat from suppliers I am willing to support.

Alternative soy and pea protein based "meats" are significantly better for the environment, which has been studied for decades...your choice not to accept that does not make your claim true.
Factory farming is one of the most environmentally destructive practices humans undertake. Equating growing even large swaths of crops with the environmental impact of factory farming is disingenuous at very, very best
...not to mention the fact that feed corn accounts for ~50% of US corn sold...so your main argument is completely debunked.
and if you REALLY want to get into it there is tons that could be done to help with the environmental impact of all farming but muh freedoms, or some such nonsense.

Fact:
Typical Angus Beef patties
Sodium 100 mg in 151 g patty
https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-...at-per-day
American Heart Association recommendation.
"moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults"
Beyond:
390 mg / 1500 mg =
26% of daily recommended sodium intake
Real:
100 mg / 1500 mg =
7% of daily recommended sodium intake
Fact:
1 Beyond Beef patty has 3.7x MORE UNHEALTHY SODIUM than real beef.
Normalized:
390 mg / 113 g = 3.45 mg per gram Beyond
100 mg / 151 g = 0.662 mg per gram Real Beef
Or per gram, Beyond Beef contains MORE THAN 3.45/0.0662 = 5.2x SODIUM PER GRAM than Real Beef!
