I don't think it's as simple as you're making it out to be—not universally, anyway. Diet and nutrition are also complex systems—moreso for some of us in the population. I've written this out a number of times before so I'm just going to link my last comment on the subject. I feel the need to speak up for people with similar conditions for whom simply cutting out a crucial part of our diet is not resolved. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20635612 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20635612

Point taken. But obviously these companies are looking to serve the market at large, not niche populations; millions of people consuming beef regularly (average American 83 kg/yr, average German 57 kg/yr etc), not to speak of the meat that is thrown away every day. Such solution perpetuate a mindset where instead of admitting we have crossed a line where the planet cannot sustain our beef habit, we're looking for a way to justify not weaning ourselves off it. Can anyone honestly believe that growing algae for cows won't affect the world's already disturbed ocean eco-systems?
