Can we change the title to “meat industry has been nagging about this non issue for years now, so the babies are finally getting their non issue resolved?”
Ffs sell your product but don’t be a bitch about that tiny speck of competition.
It’s not that tiny anymore. The number of people choosing non-meat options is growing faster and faster as people realize that meat is expensive and bad for your health but the plant based alternatives are cheaper and good for you.
yes but lets not pretend impossible burgers are a health food. they’re great but just like cow burgers i wouldn’t recommend eating them as a staple of your diet
People aren’t changing to vegetarian or vegan diets because of studies. They’re changing because they try it and they find themselves feeling better. The main barrier to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle has always been the bias against ethnic dishes that often were vegetarian or vegan. And all of the European or American style dishes were all meat centered. There has been trend of people becoming more comfortable with a less European an American style diet. A lot of this actually can be chalked up to youtube. People aren’t stuck consuming only one corporately cultivated perspective on food prep and recipes. There is now a diversity that has never existed before.
This is going to backfire in a major way for them. Once we come up with new names for the vegan stuff that are generally accepted, the old stuff will look decidedly outdated.
they know what they’re doing - they’re trying to create an artificial distance between meat and modern plant alternatives. Can’t blame them for trying but the government should not be so happy to do their bidding.

All the vegans and vegetarians I know don’t eat impossible burgers very often at all, they’re more into actual vegan and vegetarian food.
pretending they are a health food is their marketing strategy. people switch to vegan because it’s perceived to be healthier.
in 5-10 years studies will show it’s bad for you and people will move away from it and meat will seen as the ‘healthy’ choice.
everything in food/nutrition is a fad.

Also bad for your health in the long run, because meat is heating up the atmosphere and outcompetes nature that would otherwise store CO2.

did it work for milk? it won’t backfire.
