Was plant based meat a fad?

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

oh shocker. lab food failed.

stop tryna give people some shyt that's tryna be some other shyt.

 

[invalid]

it was a fad to try to make it a mass market product, but if you're actually vegetarian/vegan or want to cut down your animal product consumption, it's something to use occasionally. i think manufacturers messed up trying to pin it as healthier when the macros and amount of processed ingredients all pointed to the opposite, they should've just leaned in on "get the texture/taste without the flesh"

Yeah. The welfare of animals and the environment is it's selling point. Should not have marketed to the masses as a healthier option. People who are legit vegan/vegetarians became so because of the first two points, so they will continue to use the products.

Y'all are swallowing literal beef industry propaganda instead of just looking up the basic facts.

veggies are cool; but soy aint

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Adding all that sodium to soy and that other shyt ain’t much worse than actual meat. shyt was bound to fail.

Saw several beyond burger patties with the yellow stickers on them tonight. Two packs for 1.71 each. Maybe this thread was right

I still eat Morningstar products, the chicken nuggets are better than real chicken. I stopped fukking with BK after they changed their veggie burger to the Impossible Meat brand

People who aren’t vegan tried them and moved on.


But their target demographic isn’t going anywhere

Yeah vegans still use this...also impossible probably made a dent in beyond as it rose

As I always say when people talk about eating Petri protein, take one gander at what’s left on every grocers shelves when a shortage, power outage or natural disaster hits. No one eats this bullshyt

Your mother's an environmental disaster bytch

That escalated quickly

World wide there are so many great vegetarian and vegan options, no need for fake meat. Over 200 million vegatarians in India alone, just draw from that cuisine and make your own stuff.

When all fast food chains have it as an option it’ll pick up.

You need to clarify this by preceding it with, "in my opinion"

This does not taste better than real chicken.
