You mean, like, from a new kind of animal?

Has any new veggie burger "revolutionized the beef industry"? And
why would it? It might have a .001% effect on the "ground beef
industry", but I don't exactly see anyone shaking in their boots
when it costs $4/more per pound at the restaurant level.

BTW, the other one is "Beyond Meat". I forget which one is which,
but they both "feed" each other in terms of marketing and awareness
and awareness.

The only thing this they both do is make it clear that Vegetarians
Want Meat. Vegetarians NEED meat. Vegetarians should JUST EAT
MEAT!
