    Only a matter of time before plant-based alternatives fully take over from meat. Meat farming is not sustainable, as you mention all the land used to farm food for animals could be used to just farm more food for us directly.

    We just have to get rid of the stigma around plant-based “meat”.

      At this point it isn’t so much the stigma as it is the price for a lot of us. If it was the same or cheaper than regular meat prices in my area I would buy it instead.

        Prices are coming down, but they won’t come down a lot until more people buy it, but more people wont buy it unless it’s cheaper…

        Here’s hoping there’s some more restrictions imposed on meat.

        Huh. Now that you mention it, even where I live i actually didn’t hear any comments after soy shit fell. I didn’t notice. Still ain’t buyin substitute cu I love meat but it’s no longer due to hearing how bad it tastes - in fact I did hear some good comments lately.
