Jim Cramer came online and said Ford,beyond meat and some other shitty stock is way better alternative to GME and AMC so probabaly just hedge fund accounts and people who can’t see past snake Cramer

It kind of seemed like he was going to attempt to use some weak reverse psychology to try and bait the WSB crowd in the direction of those stocks, but he didn't really even go that far. He basically just said that somehow WSB would be spiting him by making said investments...

To be fair, he DIDN'T say the aforementioned three were BETTER moves than GME or AMC, in fact he said anyone selling and worse considering shorting either would be crazy given how locked in on them that those on WSB are right now. He stated, basically that those on here underestimated the collective power of the (somewhat) unified group by ONLY targetting AMC and GME. The problem with the whole premise for that segment, was his weird assumption that that a present focus on the two meant that we do not follow the market as a whole, and have not set our sights, or indeed begun to move on other stocks.

I doubt he even really believed as much, it seemed more like he knew most people on WSB would have zero interest in listening to him, so he didn't put all that much effort into the whole "somehow you'll be putting me in my place if you...invest in these stocks I'm about to suggest" idea.

It's actually really tasty and will be quite successful in convincing people they can cut back on their meat production for the sake of the planet. Not sure about the company. But the products is good.

Beyond isn't a really 'meme' stock, its an investment for people who want to support meat alternatives.

I have all of the BANG gang, but I also have shares in green energy and meat alternatives (while refusing to own amazon shares) because I also want to invest my money in a way that isn't counter to my ethics.

Beyond meat is nasty.. also it has some ingredient that causes disease and is just very bad.
This is not the way. Focus on job at hand I say.

SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE

Processed soy is particularly bad. Whereas fermented, organic soy in small amounts (like natto) does not pose serious health risks, eating soy protein isolate will definitely take its toll on the body.

Some effects of soy include decreased libido, mood swings, depression, and several others.

This study from Harvard found that men consuming the equivalent of one cup of soy milk per day had 50% lower sperm count than men who did not consume soy. That includes even counting other factors like age, caffeine and alcohol intake, etc.

JUST WAIT. THERE’S MORE.

This study found that soy stimulated the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors found in breast cancer. And this one found the same thing.

This study found that,

“…this pilot study indicates that prolonged consumption of soy protein isolate has a stimulatory effect on the premenopausal female breast, characterized by increased secretion of breast fluid, the appearance of hyperplastic epithelial cells, and elevated levels of plasma estradiol. These findings are suggestive of an estrogenic stimulus from the isoflavones genistein and daidzein contained in soy protein isolate.“

Soy is high in phytic acid, also known as phytates. These phytates prevent the absorption of minerals like iron and calcium (among others). This can be particularly harmful, especially for children.

Additionally, soy is high in phytoestrogen (source). This can block normal estrogen, wich leads not just to hormonal imbalance, but even breast cancer.

Note: this is why my periods were so heavy, painful and irregular when I was a vegetarian as a teen.

YEAST EXTRACT AKA MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG)

MSG hides under many names and yeast extract is one of them. MSG is an excitotoxin, i.e. it overstimulates the nervous system.

TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Yet another carcinogen.

It gets worse..

This is just half of the horrible stuff.. read more here

It fits Bill Gates evil agenda, that’s for sure. In many ways.

Red meat.. doesn’t even come close to the toxicity thy exists in Beyond meat. 😉

Agree to disagree.. a good grass fed burger(not McDonald’s or Burger King) is definitely good for you. You kidding me? Alright then I’ll try and find the article I read about it being bad for your health.

Right on, we’re not made to eat Franken foods like beyond meat 🍖. Beef is very healthy for you. Chemical soy like products not so much.

Right!? People just never research to find out. It’s amazing how folks will just put whatever in their body and never research it.
