The part that's beyond my comprehension is why they keep trying to sell veg protein as a replacement for meat when decades of failure has shown that's not working.
Trying to convince meat eaters that plant protein is the same as meat, not adoption of plant proteins. Maybe I'm just built different but I didn't actually start enjoying plant protein stuff until I stopped thinking of it as a replacement for meat and started enjoying it on it's own merits.
Because despite the bragging, capitalists are unable to innovate their marketing. They’ll hire a panel of psychologists to think of the most addictive method to make their cigarettes and gambling within legal limits, but won’t bother hiring someone who can convince to eat a broccoli without making it look like bacon
Because capitalist brain says "their product failed because it wasn't good enough and a cheap enough price. Surely I am smarter than them and I can make my product better and cheaper!"
But then they can't because science and technology have limits and can't be used to solve literally everything in a perfect way every time. So they fail too and the cycle continues
not that kind of limits. someday somebody will get the texture right. i had some fake "ground beef" that was pretty close, i think the more viable thing to do would be to mix it in with the real stuff like taco bell with sawdust but they'd need to be cheaper than beef or figure out how to get the cowards in government to stop subsidizing the beef industry so much.

They are getting slightly more popular with time.
But the main reason it keeps happening is that you get to sell veg at meat (or even slightly higher) prices if it works.
McD's famously used a ton of soy in its early burgers because it was cheaper than pure ground beef.
This isn't a retail product. Its an ingredient intended to cut costs for mass market meat-flavored products.
The dried pork dust on your $5 bag of potato chips will one day contain zero actual pig in it.
Critical support to products going vegan to cut costs
Hey texturized lentils/soy/peas/etc protein is already great and the empanadas, sausages, and pattys made with them are incredibly realistic
Lol its clearly working

Ah I get your point now

The only good rancher is a dead rancher.
this is jolly slander
come on give me that $35 a pound beef so i can justify spending $10 on bison
this is already very common in schools and prisons with TVP. cheaper than meat
