#2I think it's fascinating how all these fast-food chains are jumping on artificial meat. It makes perfect sense: meat is expensive and difficult to work with, so low-cost chains like these have been serving really disgustingly low-quality meat for quite some time now; in some cases it could barely even be called meat.
Plant-based meat, on the other hand, can be both cheaper and less gross at the same time, and it might help them cut down on calories and improve their health image.
I wonder what impact it'll have on climate change when McDonalds stops buying real beef.

Funny thing that I heard recently. McDonalds is the greats buyer of chicken in the US. Quite surprising, considering they don't even have that much chicken in their menu.

Pretty sure their nuggets are a huge seller

#5I believe thinking of it only as a 'meat substitution' might be missing a larger trend in that a new segment is being created.

I worked at KFC for several years in Australia, the chicken was quite fresh.

Beyond Meat is fairly widely available in Canada. A&W sells a beyond meat burger, and patties are available in several national grocery chains.

#10I think it is a rather toxic movement that we are continuing to label things that which they are not.
"fried plant-based ‘chicken’" it makes no sense at all
A lot of it is egged on by the vegan/vegetarians and is the definition of false advertising.
I saw "vegan" mince in the meat section the other day. I feel sorry for the elderly or learning impaired who might be accidentally buying soy substitutes when their bodies are craving meat.
