Early in the pandemic, during my first trip to a grocery store, I saw that the meat aisle was bare - but for a meat substitute (was either Impossible or Beyond, can't recall). Even in the midst of a global health crisis no one wanted it.

It’s as equally intuitive that there’s little overlap between people who eat meat alternatives and those who stockpiled staples and caused the shortages their stockpiling was supposed to protect them from. Some of the worst displays of poor manners in the “civilised” world was of people fighting over piles of toilet paper.
- kuschku 4y agoMeat substitutes are almost always sold out at my local grocery store. Last week beyond was entirely sold out and I managed to get the last 2 packs of Nestlé's Incredible? Impossible? Whatever it's called, yesterday veggie bacon and salami were sold out, I got like meat's last like gyros pack, and had to get a separate like meat like chicken pack to somehow substitute the missing like gyros pack. Oh and I got Rügenwalder's last Leberwurst. Sometimes I cycle another 2½km to the the next grocery store, because they usually have more like meat and vivera products, but often they're sold out there as well and I've got to try another day.
