Beyond Burger Coming to the U.K.

Can I get a YAAAASSS for the beyond meat burger coming to the U.K.? Beyond Meat confirms that the beyond burger is heading to the U.K. this year after a successful entry into Canadian markets and a hiccup in production that saw a shortage in Canadian markets. For those of you that don't know, the popularity of the beyond burger is astronomical and was so successful in Canada that beyond meat was unable to keep up with production leaving Canadian fans of the burger travelling to the United States to get their fix.

Beyond Meat is now on top of production and heading to the U.K. where excited vegans and vegetarians have been waiting for this moment since the burger came out. Beyond burgers simulate a beefy burger in every way imaginable in that they appear like beef, fry up and smell like beef, and taste just like a juicy, beef burger leaving you questioning whether the burger is actually plant based. It gives an exceptional amount of protein without any of the cruelty to animals or environmental impact that traditional beef burgers come with.

In my experience, there are actually quite a lot of vegan and vegetarian products on shelves here in Ireland although I can't speak for the entire U.K. but a recent study suggested that 1/3 of Britons have either reduced or quit eating meat so the Beyond Burger comes at the perfect time to capitalize on this momentum. It offers even meat eaters who are environmentally conscious the peace of mind of knowing that they are getting a tasty burger without all of the damage to our environment of a traditional beef burger. 

Producing plant based burgers uses a fraction of the water and reduces greenhouse gases significantly when compared to traditional, factory farmed beef burgers. The environmental benefit to eating plant based is widely recognized and I think it's safe to say that more and more people are waking up to these facts and attempting to change their eating habits to reflect this. With Global Warming being a big issue that is regularly discussed, it's obvious that it is getting through to people as they turn to plant based proteins to contribute to greenhouse reductions.

Beyond Burgers are delicious y'all. If you haven't tried one, you need to. I shared one with my meat eating father and a couple of my meat eating friends and they all agreed that the burgers were delicious. As I said, they're ridiculously juicy and give you the same satisfaction of eating a beef burger without contributing to an industry that is cruel to animals and destroys the environment. I am so excited at this expansion into U.K. markets and hope to see Beyond products on shelves across the globe. :)

HAPPY VEG
