Cannibalism is the most environmentally friendly option for consuming meat. Bullish, BYND on to something with this new pivot.

It is reassuring as an investor to see a COO who knows how to get the job done. Calls on BYND

I sympathize with the BYND COO. A human nose probably tastes a lot better than that dog shit fake meat they sell

Puts on BYND. The COO triggered the core demo. He ate meat, but what's even worse is he punched out the window of a Subaru Outback (and its owner).
