As someone who enjoys meat, I'm excited to be able to finally get options that don't involve killing something to get there.
Plants are living things. If you want to eat without killing then you'd need ab initio synthesized nutrients or subsist on detritus.
Sorry to be a downer, but anything remotely touching alt-food startups on HN is hyped with positive sentiment to the point where any criticism gets discouraged.

Why zero carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates get quickly stored as fat if not used as energy. Carbs and sugar are the culprit behind the obesity epidemic, not meat.
> Carbs and sugar are the culprit behind the obesity epidemic, not meat
Processed food as well as particularly overeating of delicacies like meat, cheese, eggs, fish, and oil and sugar prepared plant-foods, is the mayor culprit, I believe.
Nobody got fat from eating plain potatoes, beans and apples. It's also very hard to overeat on those kinds of foods because of the high water and fiber content. People get fat by eating too much dairy, meat, eggs, and plants prepared in oils, or other highly processed plant-foods, which are easy to overeat on.
https://ourworldindata.org/meat-and-seafood-production-consu... Seafood consumption is far higher than meat-- good luck to these folks, it could be highly profitable. Update: Worldwide meat consumption (first graph): 317,000,000 tonnes. Worldwide seafood consumption (later down): 154,850 kilotonnes, or 154,850,000 tonnes. Seafood is roughly half of meat. That's still a large market.

People who know that it is a myth that whole grains are healthy?
Any sources to back that up?
Pretty much any of the myriad resources on paleo / low-carb / grain-free diets will cover most of the reasons and point to research backing up why whole grains are not healthy. Nutrition science is a weirdly controversial topic however so for every study that points in one direction you'll find someone passionately committed to a different theory who will dig up conflicting evidence.
Having read a lot on the subject over the years (and through personal experience) I'm persuaded by the evidence in favour of a low-carb, largely grain-free, high fat paleo style diet but I've largely given up trying to convince anyone who feels differently on the Internet as for whatever reason nutrition debates are as heated and futile as political ones.

That does not seem right. According to https://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/about-the-industry/st... beef/pork/chicken consumption is much higher than fish.
