Was plant based meat a fad?

[RageKage]

How many people out there are still pretending to enjoy pea protein shaped and colored like meat?

Probably more to the point, BYMeat is $$$. It's decline in sales matches closely to rise in food prices.

It’s not a necessity it is a luxury

Real meat or fake meat?

Real meat or fake meat?

Has both options available as Trill Burgers

This is a convo I had with someone yesterday. High sodium and depending on the brand, tons of additives to get the final product. As someone who prefers to clean eat, I never see myself switching from meat to non-meat products again. I prefer to just eat less meat overall.

I don't understand why people fight against a balanced diet with everything in moderation. I eat lean cuts of chicken, turkey and fish. Combine those with unprocessed grains, fruits and vegetables and you good.

Kevin Hart has a plant based chain rolling out right now too

I still eat it, beef is an environmental disaster

Most food meat or veggie have a similiar environmental footprint. They just do it different ways. For example meat as you said, cow produce a lot of methane and shyt which isn't good.
Organic veggies also have a large footprint because organic farms are few and far between compared to most standard crop farms the are non organic. meaning they have to be trucked in or flown in form much longer distances, which in turn produces more carbon emissions to get them on your local grocery store shelf. versus sourcing locally like they can do with meat.
There is no such thing as an environmentally friendly mass produced food.
The only environmentally safe method is to become a hunter gatherer and get all your food from nature.

Give it time...

What the Bitcoin Boys say, HODL?

It will definitely make a comeback.

Jackfruit BBQ sandwiches with fresh slaw is good as hell.

I don't do none of the "impossible" or "beyond" stuff though

a bit misleading, the yoy year sales are not growing - it doesn't mean they've declined.

prices have gone up, you also dont have a ton of new people buying and also competition.

 

[Wubzy]

Are y'all retarded??? Sales can't grow exponentially forever. Meat alternatives are still becoming more popular, growth is just slowing down a bit

I still maintain that in not too distant future, plant based 'meats' will be cheaper than animal protein. Extremely resource intensive (water,land,fuel) to raise beef.

• It takes 2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef.

Land Utilization and Soil Erosion

• One-half of the Earth’s land mass is grazed by livestock.[1]
• More than 60% of the world’s rangelands were damaged by overgrazing during the past half century.[2]
• As much as 85% of rangeland in the western US is being degraded by overgrazing.[3]
• Overgrazing is by far the most pervasive cause of desertification.[4]
• 35 pounds of topsoil are lost in the production of one pound of grain-fed beef.[5]
• 64% of US cropland produces livestock feed.[6]
• Only 2% of US cropland produces fruits and vegetables.[7]

People are very easily influenced and often totally devoid of a secure inner realm and thus need the Current Thing to build their identity around. When it shifts, so do they. Secure in the comfort that they're a special little being, just like everyone else sipping the mandated Kool Aid maketing.

What you described is just proof of this statement and it can be applied to pretty much anything from BBLs to beards and all points in between.

Oh you one of those dudes who says shyt like
"Cognitive dissonance " to seem smart huh

I really hope so. Beef is terrible for the environment.
