Beyond Meat is a Los Angeles-based producer of plant-based meat substitutes. Beyond Meat’s Products became available nationwide at Whole Foods Markets in 2013.〔 Beyond Meat was founded by CEO Ethan Brown in 2009.〔 The company has received venture funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Obvious Corporation, Bill Gates, Biz Stone, and the Humane Society.〔〔 ==Origins== CEO Ethan Brown founded Beyond Meat, formerly Savage River Inc., in 2009 to produce plant-based products that replicated meat and to attempt to eliminate “some of the downsides” of the meat industry in the process.〔〔 The inspiration for Beyond Meat began for Brown in “chicken country,” where as a young boy he spent weekends on his family farm near the Pennsylvania border in rural Maryland.〔 Brown initially contacted two University of Missouri professors, Fu-hung Hsieh and Harold Huff, who had already been refining their meatless protein for years. The duo spent nearly a decade in the University lab working different temperatures and pressures to get their mixture of soybean and pea proteins “as close to the look and feel of real chicken as possible.”〔 It took them another five years to come up with a recipe for Beyond Meat’s first product, “Chicken-Free Strips,” which the company released to limited locations in 2012. Brown has stated that his long-term goal is to offer a product that can satisfy the world’s growing demand for meat, especially in markets like India and China.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyond Meat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
