Especially when so many peoples main sticking point when it comes to even going vegetarian is "But I like X meat product too much", having direct alternatives is a good encouragement for them.
Impossible can suck my chode. They operate out of my town and use leftist imagery while brutally crushing organizing efforts in their own shop. They put hundreds at risk during covid and laid off people who were trying to blow the whistle about their unsafe workplace.
Edit: Wait, fuck. The one I'm thinking if is No Evil. I'm not sure about Impossible
Not really once you realize that they chose that name because of Google. They call all their stuff shit like "El Sandinista" and "Comrade Cluck".
They're the epitome of "sell the revolution". They rightly realized that the overlap between leftism and veganism was huge and decided to appropriate leftism as a means to sell stolen surplus value.
They did, so the company just changed it to El Capitan once they realized that using actual socialists as tools in their garbage marketing could backfire when they fucked over their employees.
Not sure I agree. Variety is always appreciated in vegan options, and it's a great way for many to realize going vegan is even possible.
Obviously fuck the corporations like the ones that operate Beyond/Impossible. But I don't think it's a bad idea on its own.

It would be cool if restaurants weren't replacing their existing veggie options for a single fake meat item
