Biden’s Covid Symptoms Improve Significantly and Beyond Meat’s Pepperoni Problem


Listen Later

President Biden is still recovering from Covid-19 as his doctors have said he has improved significantly but still has a sore throat while other symptoms have diminished.  They also said that it is likely that he has the BA.5 Omicron subvariant.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for a quick health update and what we learned from dueling Trump and Pence rallies in Arizona.  The Republican base still loves the former President as he gears up to run again.

 

Next, Beyond Meat has a pepperoni problem.  It currently has a deal to bring its alt-meat to KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, but more than a year into its partnership it is struggling to deliver on the new products.  When it comes to the pepperoni, only a small test has been done at select Pizza Hut locations because they kept hitting speed bumps along the way.  The fake pepperoni links are formed in Pennsylvania, flown to Europe to be cooked and sliced, then flown back to the states.  There were even disagreements over the order of cooking and slicing.  Deena Shanker, food reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for Beyond Meat’s struggles.
