Beyond Meat Rushes to Defense of Burger Joints: Offers Free Beast BurgersEL SEGUNDO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Noting the rise and popularity of "better burger" joints such as Smashburger, Shake Shack, and Five Guys, Elliott Negin writes in the Huffington Post (News - Alert), "Are better burgers better when it comes to your health or the health of the planet? The short answer is no." The article goes on to summarize the negative human health and climate implications of beef burgers, whether grass or feedlot fed. But Beyond Meat says "fear not" to burger joint owners and customers: Unleash The Beast. As featured on Good Morning America, the company's new Beast Burger delivers a super-sized nutritional serving in a quarter pound of juicy, delicious, plant-based goodness. With more protein and iron than beef, more omegas than salmon, packed with antioxidants, calcium and vitamins B-6 & B-12, plus a special nutrient blend, the all-natural Beast represents the evolution of meat. "For any of the burger joints mentioned in the Huffington Post piece that put the Beast Burger on their menu before November 1, 2014," Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown promises, "we will deliver a free pallet of Beast Burgers. We stand ready to put the delicious, protein-packed, nutrient-dense Beast into the hands of burger artists across the country." If interested, contact [email protected]. Customers can encourage their favorite burger joints listed below by tweeting with #beastme.
