Another stupid argument against vegan food in general, not just the beyond burger is that rodents or insects are killed to clear the field to grow these crops. However, much more crops are needed to feed livestock, and it deforests the Amazon meanwhile people are starving and the land could have been used to grow vegetation for them instead of meat for us. It takes a lot more land to feed people if you have to have space for the animals, the crops the eat, and their waste! Veganism is better for the environment too, it uses less water and creates les greenhouse gases, especially methane.
