But I think that explains why a company like Beyond Meat hasn't performed.
But what I would say is we have to be careful kind of throwing the baby out with the bathwater there because this would be akin to kind of saying, look what's happened to Peloton.
Peloton's stock has tanked and yet we don't say fitness is over or cycling's over.
It's one example of a company whose model hasn't survived in this current environment and Beyond Meat is that.
Yet underneath that, I think the message around eating more plant based, particularly whole or minimally processed plant foods, being healthy, protecting you from the types of chronic diseases that are affecting a lot of people in this country, in America and in Australia, is just as true and strong as ever, if not stronger, with more evidence being published over the last five years.
i think the the phrase that that i heard a lot and i've used it myself as transition foods for these types of foods because if you look at the research on on plant-based dietary patterns and these health outcomes you're right it's not looking at that category of ultra processed foods people in populations the world that are eating plants and living long lives they're eating more legumes and
beans and lentils and tofus and chickpeas they're not eating beyond burger they're not eating uh holy so i think that's a that's a fair summary um that said i think a lot of the educators in this space have felt that it's unrealistic to get people to give up
chicken and red meat and just ate beans and lentils.
Sure.
Yeah, you run the risk of kind of convincing yourself that I'm going to oversimplify things for the greater good here to the person that's receiving the information.
But in the process of that, you're not being completely objective.
and you lose trust.
And more specifically, what I mean there is and I outline in my book and of the three things that you just mentioned, the three kind of on ramps to eating a plant exclusive plant based vegan diet, whatever you want to say.
The strongest argument is ethical and the sustainable argument.
Yeah, for sure.
It's very hard, impossible to make the argument based on human health alone.
When you look at the nutrition science itself, there are a variety of different dietary patterns that lead to great health outcomes.
Mediterranean diet the mind diet the DASH diet vegetarian vegan all done in in a healthful way with the focus on unprocessed minimally processed foods can all be very healthy and deliver great health outcomes and we don't have the definitive research to say that the plant exclusive diet is significantly better than than the other ones and as you say I think that that message
uh was lost uh in the communication from some folks who who their intentions are good the intention is pure it is that you know
They care about the welfare of animals and the sustainability of the planet.
