Going WAY Beyond Meat. (Tastes like chicken?)

SEC football, from what I gather, is pretty serious stuff. Arkansas isn't the top dog in the conference, but the Razorbacks are pretty highly ranked. And - Woo Pig Sooey - their fans are on occasion inclined to go hog wild. As apparently happened after a recent game. That's when one rabid fan got into a parking lot rage sitch with a  another fellow, and bit his nose.

Biting the other guy's nose probably doesn't happen all that often. Most "lose your shit" fighters are satisfied with a knuckle sandwich. Still, the nose-biting incident wouldn't be all that noteworthy if the biter hadn't been the COO of Beyond Meat, which makes a plant based meat substitute. 

[Doug] Ramsey, 53, was charged with terroristic threatening and third-degree battery and booked in the Washington County, Arkansas, jail on Saturday evening. He was released Sunday, according to the Washington County information page. (Source: CNBC)

Ramsey was provoked when a Subaru made contact with Ramsey's front tire. Ramsey allegedly reacted by punching out the Subaru's back windshield, as one does when a Subaru comes in contact with your front tire. Subarus are, are they not, typically driven by folks as aggressive as the average Prius driver. Those ads showing golden retrievers behind the wheel of a Subaru are just a con, trying to convince us that Subaru owners are mild and friendly, when they're really pit bull road-ragers at heart. 

Anyway, after the assault on his windshield:

The Subaru owner then got out of his car, and Ramsey allegedly started punching him and bit his nose, “ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” according to the report. The victim and a witness also alleged that Ramsey told the Subaru owner he would kill him.

Before joining Beyond Meat a couple of years ago, Ramsey's entire career was with Tyson Foods.

Guess even if you go full tilt vegan, you never fully lose your taste for meat, especially for bacon. 

But I don't know that human nose, even if that nose is attached to an Arkansas Razorback fan, would taste like bacon. Inquiring minds, however, might want to know what it does taste like. So tell me, Doug. Does it taste like chicken?

Meanwhile, I'm sure the execs at Beyond Meat are just thrilled with this behavior...
