Given the frequency I see the meat alternatives in the discounted section in various supermarkets I've visited, I think they have some work on their hands.
- nickff 6y agoYes, they have a lot of work on their hands. This is a classic Innovator's Dilemma, where an 'inferior' product technology/configuration/design starts off by taking over a niche, then gradually improves until it dominates the field.
- giarc 6y agoI've never seen any in store demo's for any of the various products. I'd definitely try it if I could, but don't want to spend $15 on a few patties for a product I've never tried.
- mhh__ 6y agoWhether they sell or not, meat alternatives should last longer, no? If they last longer that means they can afford to buy more to sell later
- Alupis 6y agoI don't think they last longer at all. They're heavily processed plant matter, not whole plants.
- tomp 6y agoThe more processed the food is, the longer it lasts. So, "yes".
- rsynnott 6y agoNot universally true. Notably, see bread. You can store grain or flour for quite a long time, but not bread :)
