Beyond Meat CEO Blames Americans for Company Problems

Beyond Meat made headlines in 2019 when it went public. I remember my vegetarian friends raving about how great it was and how their burgers nearly tasted like meat.

Now I am surprised when I see Beyond Meat burgers on a menu, since it seems as if they’re not as common anymore.

And apparently, I am not the only one. The company is trying to rebrand itself less as a protein company known as Beyond The Plant Protein Co. or simply Beyond, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Its stock has hovered at less than $1 for several months, and it’s been on the brink of bankruptcy, TheStreet reported back in December.

Beyond Meat President and CEO Ethan Brown says he knows why the company is struggling, and that it has nothing to do with how the company is run.
