Note: “While the US meat giant has launched plant-based meat items in the past, these have always been through its Raised & Rooted brand.” This is the first plant-based nuggets they’ll be launching with their own name and branding.

How do you all feel about this? On the one hand, I’m always happy to see new/more vegan items pop up. But I just can’t see myself buying from Tyson foods, especially when there are other alternatives from better companies.

    I doubt anyone’s under the impression that Tyson is doing this for anything other than greed/capitalism. But I’ll be curious to see how well (or not well) this new product does. I can’t imagine that most vegans will want to buy this; is the casual/plant based/curious market large enough for the product to do “well”?

      I’m not curious. Tyson can fuck all the way off. pbc isn’t going to change any carnists minds. they’re pandering and making money, nobody will become vegan from eating Tyson products
