Bioethicist Suggests Re-Engineering Humans To Become Allergic To Meat
I ate some Broccoli the other day that almost made me turn vegetarian. It was sooooo good just wrapped in bacon.
I don't like that so if I'm going to shop I always transcribe the list onto a hand-drawn map of the store.
I think I came up with the idea in 2002 that all big stores with websites should make it easy for customers to find products. Looking at a product page online? It should tell you the aisle and section of the product for your selected store.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many workers were terminated. Beyond Meat asked employees to work from home on Thursday and restricted access to documents, according to some of the people, who asked not to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. Management then set up individual calls to inform some workers that they were losing their jobs. Some cuts came in the research and development department.
The company didn’t respond to inquiries from Bloomberg.
Beyond Meat, which had about 1,100 employees at the end of last year, previously eliminated about 40 positions in August as part of a broader cost-cutting plan. The onetime Wall Street darling faces mounting challenges as rising inflation drives consumers toward less-expensive animal proteins and competition intensifies. Major fast-food partnerships have failed to gain traction, and the company has struggled to ramp up production.
It suffered another blow last month when its chief operating officer, who had been hired from Tyson Foods Inc., was suspended after being arrested. A supply-chain executive, who had been hired at the same time, has also departed.
The plant-based meat category has also broadly cooled off. Retail sales of refrigerated meat alternatives fell almost 11% in the 12 months ended Oct. 2 from the previous period, IRI data show. Beyond Meat-branded sausage substitutes fell 19% in the period, while the company’s plant-based patties dropped 27%. Its faux meatballs experienced growth, however, with sales rising 19%.
Earlier this month, JBS SA, the world’s largest meat supplier, said it would discontinue operations at its US plant-based unit Planterra. Closely held Impossible Foods Inc. dismissed about 6% of its 800-person workforce, though it has said that its sales are growing.
