The only way to phase out meat is to make a replacement that actually tastes good.

Come to the american south and ask them to try tempeh. They'll look at you like you asked them to eat roaches.

It's a cultural thing.

Taste has nothing to do with it; 'tis is all based on economics and the actual way to stop meat consumption is to simply remove big-ag tax subsidies and other externalized costs of production which are not actually realized by the consumer. A burger would cost more than most can afford and the free market would take care of this problem without additional intervention. Unfortunately, we do not have a free market.

  • I would much rather lobby for ending ad gag laws, and fighting for better treatment of animals.

    I think its more realistic than getting people to give up meat entirely
