My thing is: who is the target demographic? I don't see anyone switching back from being vegetarian or vegan, and right wingers already hate it. Wine moms who still shop at Whole Foods?
Are veggie meat alternatives cheaper that meat? Because I think once you have a product that is just as tasty and cheaper it's just a generation or maybe two to wipe up the meat industry.
No, they're not, but people need to get over burger brain and realize you don't have to eat meat every meal. Meat substitutes are nice for a treat, but you should totally just eat plants if you're veg/vegan
Anyone who isnβt anti-woke or already vegan/vegetarian? Which is stillβ¦ a lot of people. Just less in America where oh no the woke virus or fucking whatever. Still plenty who do want to eat less meat or whatever.
Plenty of people can't digest a lot of plant meats, but can digest real meat. There's a ton of potentially problematic issues with plant based meat right now, including high amounts of carbohydrates and complex sugars. So it's very good for people with medical disabilities
It only needs to be more affordable than murder-meat.
I just don't see that happening. They have an opportunity to make "flawless" meat and they'll do it. The peasants can eat the factory farm garbage
Honestly, I'd be very in favor of lab-grown animal products, if they were affordable enough. I'm a pretty big foodie and it would be very wonderful to have an ethical way of enjoying and sharing recipes for which I've been unable to find an adequate vegan substituion.
Tbr market is people who want to keep eating meat and think the cure to environmental disaster is random technological innovation
Good point. Like how electric cars are supposed to save us, but are worse for the environment because of the production process
