They don’t even need government support. They just need AnAg based products to not be subsidized by our taxes, and they’d by ahead by a mile, price wise.

Not sure why you’re downvoted…
I enjoy a fake burger from time to time, but if we are honest, then criticizing ultra processed foods should always be fair game. These fake meats should be eaten in moderation next to a nutritionally balanced diet of mostly whole ingredients.
More from the produce section and less plastic wrapped goods.
I honestly don’t get the point of this. Plant foods taste great, I don’t need them to be further processed to taste like meat.
Im not sure what it is, but does anyone else feel terrible after eating these simulated meat brands? Specifically ones like Beyond and Impossible trying to simulate the exact taste
Actually the opposite for me. Real meat has so much grease in it I often feel bloated after a burger. Beyond meat burgers are fine for me.
Ya feel much cleaner in the tum. First I’ve read of aches from Beyondpossible
I stand in the way by just sticking to my local farmers and butchers. But to be fair, it’s not just because of fake meat. It’s because of animal treatment by the food industry.
I applaude your resolution, but keep in mind that local and small scale does not mean cruelty free (even ignoring the part where they have to die). It’s certainly better than factory farms, but it’s not immediately good.
It tastes disgusting. If plant based meat is going to get ANY traction, food companies need to find a way to make it palatable.
I had some Boca burgers a couple of days ago and they were great. I like the Boca meatballs and Morning Star bacon a lot too. So, you might not like it, or maybe you haven’t found the right one for you yet.
Im glad you found something in this line you enjoy! I do product testing for a food manufacturer, and customers have been ubiquitous in saying they hate the plant based products. So I am speaking from my professional experience.
That said, things are getting better in this world, and hopefully soon we will have good meat alternatives that are not just niche cases.
You are also getting fairly biased feedback on this case, though. Realistically, I think companies like Beyond, Impossible, and Quorn have multiple product lines that give a taste and texture experience pretty damned close to their target, but people expect meat replacements to taste bad and so they do because taste is a wildly wishy-washy concept.
I am speaking from an in-house research perspective. Dont get me wrong, the marketing people wish you were right. And there are definitely products that are getting closer. But overall, consumer feedback is “bleh”.
We don’t need parasite support for GMO frankenfoods.
