I live on and help operate a small family farm (230 head of grass fed cattle) and I don't think that meat substitutes will hurt our sales or margins, unless and until their quality results in a broad shift in societal attitudes that leads to meat itself becoming illegal.
I do absolutely think that it will reduce the demand for industrially farmed, feedlot-fed, commodity-priced meat, and this is a good thing.
- seanalltogether 8y agoI would not be surprised if meat substitutes inevitably end up increasing the value of real meat.
- djKianoosh 8y agoHope you're right. Keep providing high quality red meat and you'll always have a customer here
- Meekro 8y agoWhere should I be shopping, to ensure that my meat comes from family farms like yours?
- inerte 8y agoSearch for “csa meat”. Community Supported Agriculture. It’s a good start.
- leroy_masochist 8y agoThere's no substitute for actually visiting a farm and seeing how they do things. A lot of the 'grass-fed' beef out there is grain-fed in a pasture.
- sridca 8y agoI'm a carnivore and my diet is 100% meat (health reasons). Should I be concerned about moves like this? Do you think this will negatively affect the price of meat for consumers?
