Why I Love Beyond Burgers and Friends Who Make Them.

I’m a person with a lot of executive functioning issues, which can make me difficult to live and work with. I bring that up because sometimes it helps to have friends who also have executive functioning issues, because those friends understand. And those friends who are traveling across the country with you to work might also understand at great times, like when you’re hungry and haven’t quite made it out of bed yet.

I love Beyond Burgers because they have chunks of coconut oil in the patties, so when it’s cooking it’s sizzling in its own oil. I love it because it’s made with pea protein instead of soy. Soy’s gotten a bad reputation lately for a lot of good reasons.

So when a friend with executive functioning issues like yours happens to make it out of bed earlier and is functioning better than you that day, it’s especially awesome when they make you a double-stacked beyond burger with toppings and sides.

So here’s to good friends, awesome food, and steps towards a more humane world.
