Beyond Impossible

I like the premise of this documentary, but right from the start you can hear and see the hatred and condescension of vegans, in the narrator's voice and face. Instead of an open-minded disclosure of facts, it's almost like a paid advertisement from the meat producers' industry.

I gave it three stars because there are some things in there that I can research on my own to come up with an informed decision.

You may want to watch this because of the catchy title, but it is really just an attack on the owner of Beyond Meat with a lot of jealousy and vitriol thrown in - not very palatable.

Vinnie, a 58 yr. Old anti-vegan who looks 68, calls himself a Fitness Consultant. First line of this doc is "You've been lied to." Yes indeed, Vinnie, if one attributes any veracity to this ant-vegan rant, then they will soon realize how you've lied. Never have I seen a doc so full of holes, misinformation and ignorant of veganism, that it emerges as a total joke, just like its filmmaker.

Vinnie cries that no one would debate him about healthy diets, as he contacts professional doctors and nutritionists who have devoted their careers to nutrition, as if they should waste their time with this insignificant U-tuber who has a vendetta against the plant-based food industry. He slams this industry for its "capitalistic" endeavors, while he builds his own career and following of anti-vegans, the hypocrisy seeps thru the holes.

Vinnie cries that this industry is too processed, too unhealthy and too inferior, while simultaneously ignoring the meat industries like Smithfield, JBS, Foster Farms...so many others, who process their enslaved and tortured animals with hormones, antibiotics, vitamin supplements and more to combat the feces, urine, ammonia, viruses and other diseases in which they are forced to endure until their execution.

Its a shame movies like this do not allow positive progress and always retard the every wonderful potential for biological advancement.

I love beyond meat burgers and yes I have read the ingredients which makes sense as to why they cost so damn much and that is the reason I buy them sparingly.

Any chef will tell you a good dish is a dish with a alrge variety of ingredients. The more ingredients you have the more potential you have for a very complex and advances dish. Which is why you have one beyond meat pattie at five bucks. If that will stop me from buying a twenty dollar box of pharmaceuticals meds, then that is fine with me.

I cant stand the we need meat idea, its revolting and its the reason I stopped watching this. I had hope this was a pro life doco but it wasnt it.

It was a stay wher you are and get sick doco.

Incredible amount of misinformation.

Just amazing to see such a bunch of ignorant people pretending to be right with "smart" comments in favor of the consumption of red meat, that global warming is literally fake and basically "say-no-to-plants" because they do more harm than good... ????

Real science is invisible to them. They belong to the flat-earth cult. SAME level of intelligence!

Just a total waste of time.

Sad to se this kind of "documentary" in 2022.

I am a meat-eater, but making concsious steps to reduce my meat consumption - mainly to reduce my environmental impact and after watching animal cruelty documentaries.

This 'documentary' was absolutely terrible - the main narrator had an annoying tone, which wasn't great to start with. It was badly paced and the points were all over the place. There was no flow or narrative that made sense. The 'experts' brought in were hardly leaders in the fields. There was also a distinct lack of balance and there was such a biased approach towards the brands that make faux-meat, that it came across as pro-meat show that condemns eating fruit/vegetables.

I finished this show just to write this review and am just aghast that it was ever commissioned. The fact they compare vegetarianism/veganism to Scientology cult-like behavior should be enough to deter you. As a meat-eater, I am embarrassed that this is the best attempt to put people off a lifestyle to reduce meat intake.
