I agree with statement exactly. I will always choose a vegetable based meal that is its own thing instead of something similar to meat. I want it to emphasize the vegetables or grains instead of hiding it. Most of these have generations of people creating these traditional vegetarian or vegan dishes which are great instead of a cheap knock off.
I feel lab grown meat will attack traditional meat consumption much more. Same with actually ethically and sustainable meat creation.
Fake meat isn't even a cheap knock off, it is a more expensive knock off.
If you took away the government subsidies for meat production the price disparity would vanish.
Making food more expensive doesn't really seem like such a great idea still. They should subsidize plant based meat.
Cheap in the flavor and mouth feel department
