 Recently, Beyond Meat has become quite popular all over the world. Beyond Meat is a company founded by Ethan Brown in California in 2009. He wants to solve some problems caused by the meat industries. Beyond Meat produces plant-based meat substitutes. It has received investments from venture companies. The products of Beyond Meat are sold in supermarkets in the U.S. as well as in other countries.

 To reduce global warming, lots of people choose to become vegetarians. They want to reduce the pollution of the earth by consuming alternative proteins. Therefore, Beyond Meat came into being. There are three advantages of Beyond Meat. First, Beyond Meat is easily available in Taiwan. Second, the texture of Beyond Meat is similar to real meat so that it can be widely accepted. Third, the biggest advantage of Beyond Meat is that it can decrease carbon emissions by substituting animal meat. Animals produce too much carbon emissions through digestive processes.

 Beyond Meat is a highly processed food, containing saturated fat, so it may damage our health. In order to make its texture and taste closer to the real meat, Beyond Meat adds some artificial flavorings. Such as phosphate (磷酸鹽) and sodium ions (鈉離子), the former causes kidney diseases and the latter may cause high blood pressure.

 In conclusion, Beyond Meat influences our daily life, both positively and negatively. Beyond Meat can be a new choice for people’s diet. It is an interesting choice to try while you are out of choice.
