My meat eating wife, whose favorite food is steak, prefers the impossible burger and gets it over the real thing when we go out. I've heard other similar accounts as well. Unless everyone like yourself refuses to even try it then it's likely to catch on at least to some extent.
And honestly it seems a bit selfish to not at least try the less environmentally damaging option.
- malvosenior 8y agoI would try it and I would eat it if it tastes good. There are a lot of different kinds of meat that would need suitable replacements though: * all cuts of steak * chicken * pork * salmon, tuna, mackerel, eel, sea urchin, shrimp... Ground beef seems like low hanging fruit, making convincing sushi seems more difficult. > And honestly it seems a bit selfish to not at least try the less environmentally damaging option. I can think of several reasons people may not want artificial meat. Maybe they think it's gross (test tube meat) or it goes against tradition and culture. I don't think the "shaming" angle works well to get people to change their diet. I know I immediately tune out or get defensive when people tell me what I should do with my personal life. Especially since almost everything is "bad" for the environment. So unless someone lives in a dirt hut, eating veggies they grow themselves, wearing clothes made from their own hemp and never traveling, I really don't take what they have to say about the environment into consideration.
