> There's a small subset of the population for whom meat consumption is some kind of cultural statement There are actors in the cultural discourse that are already trying to make large scale meat consumption a cultural authenticity issue, especially if you read some of the nativist criticism of the Green New Deal [1] I don't think that line of manipulation will go away, as it always will have some cultural currency with a subset of the population, but eventually the economics of the meat substitutes will win out, and "real meat" will become more of a special occasion thing, like truffles. 1. https://www.eater.com/2019/3/1/18246220/aoc-green-deal-burgers-backlash-creepshot https://www.eater.com/2019/3/1/18246220/aoc-green-deal-burge...
