Nope.
Last time I checked, not all beef is consumed as hamburgers.
The alt meat craze (if there is one) is due to the novelty factor. The interest will decline over time.
That said, what does a raw Impossible Burger taste like? A raw hamburger?
Imagine wolfing down a raw one in front of a group of unknowing and terrified onlookers.
- bregma 7y ago> not all beef is consumed as hamburgers I know most of mine is. Not necessarily in the classic sandwich form, but there's spaghetti sauce, moussaka, shepherd's pie, chili, pizza, and throwing it into a big bucket with other foods and spices and mixing it up and eating it with a spoon. Tastes good,man.
- xboxnolifes 7y agoThat is not the point. If people still want non-ground meat (Which is much harder to have a plant substitute for), cows will stick around. Ground meats are basically just a byproduct of the lesser cuts.
- artimaeis 7y ago> Last time I checked, not all beef is consumed as hamburgers. The author of the article explicitly mentions using Impossible Burger for non-hamburger applications: "It looked identical to ground beef, so that’s how I treated it. And that’s how it performed. I made sliders, kebabs, nachos, chili, Bolognese sauce, even a little tartare (note: the company frowns hard on this)."
- codesushi42 7y agoNot all beef is consumed as ground beef. Happy?
- zeroimpl 7y agoThe author mentions that 60% of it is...
- codesushi42 7y agoWhen did 60% become the entire beef industry?
- zeroimpl 7y agoNobody said it would go away 100%. But it may become a niche product, like foie gras.
- codesushi42 7y agoDid you RTFA article? It is titled "The Beginning of the End of the Beef Industry"!
- zeroimpl 7y agolol sounds like you only read the headline. But even if the beef industry dies, that doesn’t mean beef itself is gone - there will certainly be non-industrial producers.

- rsj_hn 7y agoThat sounded a bit high, so digging around I found a source that in the U.S. Ground beef is 40% of the beef market, which makes sense given our obsession with burgers, but in the rest of the world, I doubt that the share is so high. https://beef2live.com/story-ground-beef-united-states-0-104332 https://beef2live.com/story-ground-beef-united-states-0-1043...
