Internet users pointed out that Kim Kardashian was only pretending to eat
the food in the latest commercial
Kim Kardashian has been named
the first-ever Chief Taste Consultant for plant-based meat brand Beyond
Meat.
However, the SKIMS founder’s fans are not happy with her
performance in the latest Beyond Meat ad.
Internet users have
been trolling The Kardashians alum for not consuming food in the
commercial.
She has been mocked for appearing to ‘fake’ chew in the latest clip of
the commercial.
“I believe so much in the mission of Beyond Meat that I’ve
stepped in to help with my greatest asset – my taste,” the reality star, 41,
said in the vegan company’s 30-second video that was released on Instagram
on Tuesday.
In the video, Kardashian was served a variety of
dishes containing the plant-based meat substitute in front of her.
“This
plant-based meat is not only amazing delicious, but it’s better for you and
better for the planet,” she recited her lines while holding up the food near
her mouth and on her fork while chewing.
Many social media users
pointed out that the sandwich remained intact while Kardashian was
pretending to eat it.
“She didn’t even take a bite of the burger,” one user
commented, while another noted, “The hamburger wasn’t bitten.”
“It’s
a simple change that makes a really big difference,” Kardashian said of
making the switch to a plant-based diet. “And now that I’m Beyond Meat’s
Chief Taste Consultant, there’s never been a better time to go beyond.”
One
critic wrote, “You didn’t show her actually consuming the product… Did she
actually eat it?” Another one added, “I ain’t buying it cause you ain’t
really eating it .”
