Why did Ethan Brown start Beyond Meat?

Ethan Brown once shared that he started beyond meat because he was concerned about the environment and its living things.

“I have also been driven by the urgency of issues around me: climate change, human health, constraints on natural resources, and animal welfare. I began to realize that with one small change – shifting the protein at the center of the plate to plant-based meat – we could positively impact all four of these issues, which drove me to start Beyond Meat,” he said.

He also shared that he faced quite a lot of difficulties while setting up the company. According to him, the team’s commitment to using only simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients is the right one as it’s rooted in delivering what consumers expect from the category: healthier meat options for themselves and their families.
