Plant Based Future On The Menu: Interest In Pseudo Meat On The Rise

in #food6 years ago

The alternative meat market is expected to reach $140 billion over the next decade.

Eventually, alternative meat could account for at least 10 percent or more of the overall worldwide meat industry. There are bold plans to also line the shelves with lab-grown meat soon too. But those products might still be a few years away before that's widely available like alternative meat already is today.

The demand for plant-based protein is huge and has even been dubbed the protein of the future.

There are already a variety of businesses competing in this industry, including well known figures like Beyond Meat, Boca Foods, Impossible Foods, and others.

You can already buy these alternative meat options at a growing number of restaurants, as this trend continues to push alternative meat into the mainstream.

Alternative meat choices like those from Beyond Meat are already available in thousands of different restaurants, hotels, and other venues.

This includes places like Del Taco, Carls Jr, and A&W. They are also offering these options at various stadiums and universities, as more people have come around to experimenting with alternative protein products.

Investments continue to flood into this industry as it's expected that it will rapidly grow over the next several years. Beyond Meat has done very well since its initial public offering and the future looks bright for them and others who are working in this space.

Whether or not these new 'fake meat' burgers might be the healthier option is still up for debate, because some of them might have questionable additives. Another issue with this industry is also the concern over whether or not plant-based meats and lab-grown meats can be able to refer to themselves and be marketed as meat altogether.

I've been vegan for two years and I'm not such a fan of fake meats as I don't miss meat at all but I know that many people need it for transition so I am still happy to see the market booming. I also like seeing different companies adding fake meats to their menus. Well, again, I would not order it but the demand makes me happy :)

Thank you for sharing and have a lovely weekend!

gotta love variety :)🥡

Just have a chat on this with my friend yesterday that the "vege" meat is on the rise and i remember seeing a tv program about a butcher changing its direction toward this too using different beans in experimenting to get the vege meat that taste and feel like real meat texture.
