IMPOSSIBLE FOODS, BEYOND MEAT AND THEGROWTH OF THE MEATLESS MEAT MARKET

"Investors and entrepreneurs are capitalizing on aglobal shift in the way meat is produced. The marketopportunity here is massive," Bruce Friedrich, executivedirector at the Good Food Institute, said in a statement. Alternative meat companies hope to replicate thesuccess of the non-dairy milk industry, which has grownto about 13% of the milk market by positioning itself asthe healthier alternative. Beyond Meat said in its filingsthat the vegan meat market can similarly grow to about$35 billion of the $250 billion domestic meat industry. That means that Impossible Foods and Beyond Meatmay become leaders in a fast-growing and highlycompetitive space. For example, poultry giant Tyson hasmade investments into Jerusalem-based Future MeatTechnologies and lab-grown meat producer MemphisMeats. "There will be multiple winners," Lee predicted.

Gone are the days when vegan meat was derided astasteless — a sacrifice vegetarians made in service of agreater environmental cause. Today's meatless meatstaste just like the real thing, can satisfy the mostblood-thirsty of carnivores, and are here to stay. After testing its plant-based whopper in a Burger Kinglocation in April, plant-based food company ImpossibleFoods is going nationwide with the fast food chain inmore than 7,000 locations. When competitor plant-based substitute companyBeyond Meat went public in early May, its stock pricesoared 163% in a day. The money-losing company isnow valued at about $4 billion, making it the mostsuccessful IPO thus far this year. Investors, celebrities and consumers are all takingnotice. Impossible Foods announced Monday that itraised $300 million in its latest round of private funding,the largest ever haul for a plant-based meat company,according to the Good Food Institute. The Silicon Valleystart-up has raised about $750 million since its foundingin 2011. It also has a slew of health-conscious andenvironmentally-minded celebrity investors, includingAlexis Ohanian, Jaden Smith, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, SerenaWilliams and Zedd. While Lee said Impossible Foodsdoes not pay for promotions, some celebrities havegone out of their way to give the food company ashout-out, like Katy Perry, who changed into anImpossible Burger costume at the Met Gala this year. Meatless meat a sizzling hot industry Investor interest in meatless alternative companies likeBeyond Meat and Impossible Foods mirror the surge ininterest in plant-based alternatives in the U.S. Of the$16 billion invested into U.S. plant-based meat, egg, anddairy companies in the past decade, $13 billion flowedin 2017 and 2018 alone, according to the Good FoodInstitute.

Read 1 Corinthians 10:1-11. 15. The Lord always gives His children something better; likewise in the case of diet. The Lord, in the following account, shows that a plant-based diet, the original diet, is far better than the flesh-based diet, the temporary diet, and is what He desires for us. 16.

The principles of health, diet and foods that were given to the Israelites were used as a source of warning and education for the people living in the gospel dispensation, after the first advent of Jesus.

In these last days, the word of God expresses that we should avoid eating flesh although Jesus ate flesh while on this earth during the first advent.
