    Why eat meat at all is the big question? Impossible and Beyond satisfy the taste and craving without the nastiness.

      I never understood exactly who is the target audience.

      If I were a vegan/vegetarian for ethical or religious reasons I don’t think I would want food that reminds me of meat.

      As an occasional meat eater that also enjoys the many natural options for plant-based protein, why would I want something that replicates taste/texture of something I can already eat?

        I am a meat lover that understands that eating real meat is way too large a drain on our planet's resources.

        To me, the progress vegan meat has made is an absolute godsend.

        I used to eagerly anticipate the lab-grown meat revolution, but with the quality of current vegan alternatives, it just seems no longer necessary.
