Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods were supposed to save the world. But fake meat turned out to be just another food fad.

Isn't the big problem for Beyond and Impossible that supermarkets have just figured out a good, much cheaper, frozen own-brand plant-based burger and nugget option? The offerings here in Switzerland have got much better over the last 3 years, someone else has to be buying them.

There is evidence that in Germany at least, plant-based alternatives (not necessarily the big brands though) are displacing meat and reducing consumption.

These are my favourites from @[email protected] and @[email protected]

I like that they are long-life, so I mostly do slightly more ambitious vegetarian cooking but when I can't be bothered/ something comes up, they're there without much specific planning and the kid will eat them.

@solar_chase had no idea this existed; def trying these with my kids this weekend (different brands in the US)
