"Go vegan, we don't need to eat animals. Peace begins on our plate." An online comment from Biden's roundtable with farmers discussing lowering the cost of meat. Plant-based meats are becoming more popular as improvements are made to the taste of copy-cat meat products. Taste is a key driver to purchasing food alongside cost and convenience. The market for this option is growing in retail grocers and farmer's markets. Still the vast majority of Americans are meat eaters and feeling the pain of their preference for animal protein in their grocery bills. Until those advocating to end "animal agriculture" gain more a political voice it is safe to say the meat industry will be around for a while; the competition factor is the Biden Administration's answer to lowering the cost of meat.
OfCourse, in the context of the meeting, going meatless is not on Pres. Biden's agenda. However, the market for vegan food products is Herculean.
According to the web site plantbasednews.com, "Right now, supermarket customers are paying almost 200 percent more for plant-based products in comparison to meat alternatives." People who are scrapping meat from their diets for reasons ranging from health the religion support higher prices to satisfy their quality of life. Some meat lovers are also considering the alternatives hoping to improve their health. Yet for many Americans low income Americans the pricier, perhaps more healt-freindly options are off the table. This may change when there is a greater demand for meatless options.
