The peaceful vegan life isn’t for everybody, particularly Doug Ramsey. The Beyond Meat executive has been charged with felony battery, after a fight outside an American football game in which he was accused of biting a man’s nose.
Ramsey was also charged with making a terroristic threat after the attack in a parking garage outside a college match at the University of Arkansas.

According to a police report, Ramsey was angered when another driver inched in front of him in a traffic lane and made contact with the front passenger wheel on Ramsey’s Ford Bronco SUV. The police report alleges that Ramsey got out of his vehicle and punched through the back windscreen of the other driver’s car.
The driver told police that he got out of his car and Ramsey pulled him close and began punching him. Ramsey also bit the tip of the other driver’s nose, ripping the flesh, according to the police report.
Ramsey, 53, spent more than 30 years at Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson Foods before joining Beyond Meat as chief operating officer late last year. He held top leadership positions at Tyson, including president of its poultry division and president of its global McDonald’s business.
At Beyond Meat, he has guided partnerships with fast food companies including McDonald’s and KFC.
