Meatless burgers are so popular, one company is going public

Beyond Meat, the company that makes meatless alternatives to beef, pork and poultry, began trading at $46 a share on Thursday, an 84% increase over its IPO price of $25.

Last week, the company said it would price its shares between $19 and $21. The increase shows just how hot demand for plant-based protein is right now, as more consumers are turning to meat alternatives to keep healthier diets and reduce their impact on the environment.
