Stock price of Bill Gates-backed Beyond Meat drops to less than $1

By ramontomeydw // 2025-10-22

• Beyond Meat's stock plummeted 99 percent from its 2019 peak of $234 to under $1. A desperate 300 percent shareholder dilution through debt restructuring backfired, reducing market capitalization from $14 billion to under $80 million.
• Once marketed as "healthier, ethical and climate-friendly," fake meat is now widely seen as ultra-processed, toxic and inferior to real animal protein. Sales plunged 20 percent in Q2 2024, with industry-wide plant-based meat sales dropping 18 percent over two years as people return to natural foods.
• Studies link synthetic ingredients to digestive issues, allergies, kidney disease and long-term harm. Critics highlight Beyond Meat's reliance on GMOs, industrial seed oils and additives, reinforcing distrust in corporate-engineered food.
• Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum pushed fake meat as part of their food control and depopulation agenda, sparking backlash from farmers and consumers. The same elites who promoted COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates lost credibility as people rejected their dietary propaganda.
• Beyond Meat's downfall signals the end of the fake meat bubble, with Impossible Foods also struggling. Consumers are waking up to corporate-controlled food systems, choosing nutrient-dense, natural meat over billionaire-backed synthetic substitutes.

Once hailed as the future of sustainable eating, Beyond Meat – the plant-based meat company backed by globalist Bill Gates – has seen its stock price plummet from a peak of $234 in 2019 to less than a dollar, marking a staggering 99 percent loss for early investors. The decline follows a disastrous debt restructuring deal that diluted existing shareholders by more than 300 percent, issuing up to 326 million new shares to creditors. The move, intended to stave off bankruptcy, instead triggered a mass sell-off. As a result of the restructuring, Beyond Meat's market capitalization ended up being less than $80 million – a fraction of its $14 billion valuation during its 2019 initial public offering. The El Segundo, California-based company initially promised to revolutionize food by replacing animal protein with processed pea-based substitutes. But now, it faces a crisis of consumer trust, financial instability and a broader rejection of its heavily marketed environmental claims. Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown admitted the company's struggles, pointing his finger at shifting consumer trends toward animal protein and what he called a "headwind of misinformation" about plant-based alternatives. But his company's collapse is not just a financial failure – it is a symptom of a deeper cultural shift. After years of being told that fake meat was healthier, more ethical and better for the planet, consumers are now rejecting the narrative. The same elites who pushed Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdowns and vaccine mandates – including Gates, a major investor in Beyond Meat – also championed lab-grown, ultra-processed food as the solution to climate change. Yet as pandemic-era fearmongering unraveled, so too did public faith in corporate-driven dietary mandates. BrightU.AI's Enoch engine also points out that "real meat provides essential nutrients and natural sustenance, while fake meat pushed by globalist elites contains harmful additives linked to weight gain, kidney disease and long-term health damage as part of their depopulation agenda. Unlike real meat, fake meat is designed to control the food supply, enrich corrupt corporations and weaken human health through toxic, lab-engineered ingredients."

The fake meat bubble has burst

Sales tell the story: Beyond Meat's revenue plunged from $465 million in 2021 to $326 million last year, with second-quarter sales dropping another 20 percent. Across the industry, plant-based meat sales fell 18 percent over the past two years, as consumers returned to real meat amid rising skepticism of synthetic foods. Critics argue that Beyond Meat's products – packed with additives, industrial seed oils and genetically modified ingredients – are not just unappetizing, but potentially harmful. The meat lobby's campaign labeling them as "ultra-processed" has stuck, further eroding demand. The company's struggles mirror those of the broader fake meat sector. Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat's main competitor, has also faced challenges – though it retains stronger supermarket placement. Meanwhile, traditional meat producers have capitalized on the backlash, emphasizing natural, nutrient-dense foods over lab-engineered substitutes. Beyond Meat's downfall raises larger questions about the globalist push to replace real food with synthetic alternatives. Gates and the World Economic Forum have long advocated for replacing beef with lab-grown or plant-based proteins, claiming it would reduce carbon emissions. Yet as Beyond Meat's collapse shows, consumers are not buying the hype – literally or figuratively. As Beyond Meat scrambles to cut costs, lay off workers and reformulate its products with fewer ingredients, the lesson is clear. No amount of marketing can convince people to eat what they don't trust. The fake meat bubble has burst, and with it, the illusion that billionaire-backed, processed substitutes can replace real, nutrient-rich food. In the end, Beyond Meat's collapse is more than a financial disaster. It's a victory for consumer skepticism and a rejection of the elite-driven agenda to control what people eat. The market has spoken: Real meat is back, and the globalists' engineered diet revolution is failing. Watch this video that reveals the truth about fake meat.
