  • i’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but from my experience with various plant-based proteins i honestly just do not see the point

    we already have perfectly affordable vegan proteins that, while not identical to meat or even necessarily that close, are absolutely as satisfying to chew on and very tasty.

    Really, all you need is a chunk of mostly pure protein of any kind and it’s doubtful people are going to much notice the difference if it’s part of a dish and they aren’t given a chance to study the protein in detail.
    The only thing you’d really need lab-grown meat for is steaks, which are overrated anyways and like… god eating steak is such a violently bougie thing! The shelves with ground meat here are hilarious because the cheaper ground pork is constantly completely sold out while the ground beef is barely even touched, so i doubt people would even notice the disappearance of the steak that costs 6 times as much…
