Beyond Amazing News About Beyond Meat � A Humane Nation

MEAT COMPANIES ARE INVESTING IN PLANT-BASED FOOD!

Tyson Foods, one of the world�s largest meat companies, has startled those within the food industry with its surprising announcement to become a significant investor in Beyond Meat. Beyond Meat is the plant-based-meat company that recently launched the Beyond Burger, with the taste and texture of meat.

�Tyson�s move is certainly not the first of its kind. Pinnacle, which owns the meat-centric brand Hungry Man, purchased the plant-based brand Gardein. Kraft, owner of Oscar Mayer, has also been responsible for growing the Boca line of plant-based proteins. ConAgra Foods bought and built the LightLife brand of veggie meats. General Mills is investing in plant-based proteins. But Tyson is a big protein brand, synonymous with the meat industry, and a company that you�d hardly put on your prospect list if you�re a plant-based protein company looking for a multi-million-dollar investor� states Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States in his article: Beyond amazing news about Beyond Meat.

It seems that the food industry is turning around and starting to see plant-based brands as a very interesting business model to be involved with in the very near future. Leaving aside the motivations for this change, it is very clear that animals and the planet will benefit from it.
