Economist Dispenses Wisdom and Free Plant-Based "Hot Dogs"
A bright red hot dog cart is wending its way through the streets of New York City between now and mid-June. It is tasked with dispensing free “hotdog style” plant-based sausages, provided by the Beyond Meat Company. What a noble mission!
And, get this! Sponsoring this whole street cred engagement promotion is none other than the estimable, reputable, venerable publication, The Economist.
Is this happening because The Economist has a particular love of New York or hotdogs? Who knows? We do know that The Economist has been calling the world’s attention to the future of food.
They are looking at projected population growth. (The UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs reported that the world population is expected to reach “8.6 billion in 2030… 9.8 billion in 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100.” It would be decent to welcome our new neighbors with a good hot meal — or any food. The magazine’ s sister publication, 1843 (named for the year The Economist was founded) produced a report called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Beef.”
By showing that we don’t have to go to the circus or the ballpark or a supermarket meat section to enjoy the taste of a good, clean, plant-based nutritious hotdog, the magazine is making its point. And of course, cruelty free hotdogs, like miracles, are all around us.
The publication is doing this now, they say, because summer is coming in. And, yes, it still is a promotion at heart. Partakers — and even innocent passersby — can avail themselves of a bargain 12 week subscription to the Economist for only $12.
Here’s the complete Economist/Beyond Sausage itinerary:
