My mother was a Bacon and Peanut Butter, banana lover from Norway stock.
The fake Bacon peanut butter cracker thing came natural.

Veggie burgers have been around since 1980. ADM has been pushing them since 1993. If anyone wanted any, the option was available for decades.

Perhaps.
but I was really just trying to pre-fend against any sort of argument that might say “You are just biased because you like meat and feel threatened by vegetarians.”
I have no such bias. I was fascinated by met alternatives when i was younger.
I spent several years in China and Taiwan and before I my most recent round of budget-trimming I I consumed them probably 1-2 times a week.
It is paying for labor. From the consumer perspective it is paying for convenience and brand-trust. Americans pay a LOT for those two things, so there are many attempts (and many failures) to launch any product that offers convenience and brand trust.

Maybe one day but so far what is killing them is that
fake meat costs almost 300% what real meat does.
Here is my local Walmart.

even if you have a decent product.)

Virtue signaling comes at a cost. Who knew?

Virtue signaling is the domain of political junkies and food phobias.
Virtue signaling is a basic need for those with an external locus of control.

Nothing, is “external.”
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Did you read the article at all?
It basically exposes the supposed health claims of veganism to be a scam.
That alone should be enough to put an end to this beyond meat crap for good.
Why eat a processed food (which fake veggie meat is), when real unprocessed red meat poses none of the health risks alleged by PETA?

No I did not read it. (Felt no need)
I am very familiar with the claims and find them to b mostly true.
(Does a Ford fan need to read an article saying “Ford is the best?”)
Here’s a business model:
- Persuade Walmart that stocking vegan items is good for public relations. (1970s word for virtue signalling)
- Sell vegan items to walmart
- When Walmart throws away the unsold product, sell them more.

My brother-in-law has a story about a friend who decided to cook steaks but somehow got the brown sugar mixed up with the home-made rub … claim it was delicious and got dubbed the Missteak.

Somewhere there is a Leftist who suddenly realized they need to heavily tax meat so fake meat can compete.
