<p>KFC is the first nation-wide fast food
restaurant in the United States to test Beyond Meat’s plant-based
‘chicken’.&nbsp; </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beyond Meat is a Los Angeles-based
producer of plant-based meat substitutes and was founded in 2009 by its CEO,
Ethan Brown. &nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The company produces, among other things,
plant-based burgers, sausages and crumbles, made directly from simple
plant-based ingredients. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<!-- /wp:quote -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>According to the company, by shifting from animal, to plant-based meat, it is creating a savoury solution for global health and environmental issues attributed to livestock production, namely human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources and animal welfare.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Among its pro-vegan arguments is that meat
does not have to come from animals, as the five building blocks of meats are
also found in plants: protein, fat, trace minerals, carbohydrates, and
water.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>These same building blocks in the plant
kingdom, through its manufacturing processes “rebuild meat from the ground up
without sacrificing on taste or texture”, it notes. </p>

<p>“Building meat without the animal requires
fewer resources, making it a much more efficient and sustainable process,”
Beyond Meat says. &nbsp;</p>
