I don't eat meat, nor do I have any inclination to eat fake meat.
I'm curious who thought people would rather eat more expensive fake meat compared to cheaper actual meat?
- gwbas1c 4y agoIMO: The real problem is that the plant-based-meat crowd really let their imaginations run away without using much common sense. The market for plant-based fake meat is much smaller than they believe. They thought they would displace animal based options on menus; but instead they displayed traditional veggie burgers and ticked off the people who should have been their biggest advocates. IMO: Cultured meat has a much better chance at displacing traditional meat. You can substitute it, because it's the same exact thing, and it won't make any difference.
- mason55 4y agoI’d love to switch to fake meat, even if it is more expensive. But it’s also usually less healthy (more sodium, more calories per serving). If someone makes a fake lean chicken breast or 93%ground turkey then I’d happily switch over.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoThere was a massive market for meat substitutes long before Impossible and Beyond hit the scene. So I guess the real question is, why would you assume no one did any market research before bringing these products to market?
