It’s a lot cheaper to just develop tastier vegetarian recipes and premade foods people enjoy. Can’t patent recipes though so no money in it

- jfengel 3y agoThere are already lots of tasty vegetarian recipes. But a lot of non-vegetarians are really, really attached to the idea that vegetarian diets are somehow incomplete or unsatisfying. So if you want to reduce the environmental harm and improve animal welfare, you need to meet them halfway. That means fake-meat products. It's not optimal along a number of dimensions (it's more expensive and less healthy than meals designed to feature vegetables), but it's something people will buy. I'd love it if these became "gateway" foods, allowing them to at least consider the many foods that have always been meatless. Indian cuisine in particular has fantastic meatless dishes; I'd love to see that take off. Meantime, I'm all for harm reduction. Better than nothing.
