Have you tried the Impossible Burger? It tastes so much like meat that my vegetarian friend won't eat it.

I've been a vegetarian for a few years now, and I really don't "get" the whole fake meat thing. If I wanted meat, I would simply eat it. The notion of a 3D printed plant steak is a hard pass from me. The only way I can see this taking off is if there is a confluence of events that render real meat cost prohibitive and the fake steak market can overcome adoption barriers where economies of scale can make it significantly more affordable than meat. |

As for the plant-based meat broadly, though, I think of it more as being for someone like me than someone like you. I don't think I could ever truly be vegetarian, but I do think that the world would generally be a little better place if we had less of a need for raising and slaughtering meat. So, if they can come up with some products that satisfy my need for meat while reducing the impacts of growing said meat, I'm all for it. But yeah, they're gonna have to get the prices down. I actually think it's likely they'll get there in the next 5-10 years, but we'll see. |

Would be awesome if they could make a steak alternative that is healthy. I'd eat it everyday.

Why shape it like a steak? They could make a fake meat Eiffel tower. Think of the possibilities.

Imagine the fun of a meat dish that was miniature high rises and tiny Tokyo residents fleeing in terror as you smash through it. That's the way they'll draw in customers like me.

Wow! That looks amazing, and I bet it tastes even better than it looks!*
*hoping to drive demand for veggie based meat products, thus lowering the demand, and subsequently the price of, real meat. The bone-in ribeye I grilled yesterday will be even better once the price goes down.... |
