    Unless fake or lab meat is cheaper or just as expensive, this won’t change. Except maybe if costs go higher than what is considered profitable.

        There was a video from a rancher floating around in like 2020 where he talks about the meat industry. There are billions of dollars every single day flowing through the meat industry. It goes primarily to the processing facilities and they use it to create surplus and waste to drive the prices down before making huge orders. The process hurts everyone except the ultra-wealthy.

      Fake meat is already cheaper. We dont need lab meats. Beans, seitan, tofu, tempeh, tvp, etc.

      All we need is to start serving exclusively plant based meals in schools, and almost all of the next generation will adopt it.

        I can usually get ground beef cheaper per pound than I can get tofu. When they both on sale they’re the same price at my store.

      It’s considerably cheaper in the UK, like half or a third of the price sometimes.
