Even cheap meat still has a great nutritional profile compared to vegetables. In fact, meat consumption is quite (economically) progressive because expensive cuts subsidize nutritionally similar cheap cuts.
- Spooky23 6y agoAbsolutely. Venture capital isn’t investing in fake meat because of some love of the earth. It’s a vertical integration play for fast food. Any shift of the demand curve hurts beef producers a lot, and they don’t have the economies of scale that a factory has. If successful, they’ll be making 50 points of margin on a tray of mush.
