Submission statement:
Meat sales in the United States reached a record high in 2024, driven by a shift in consumer preferences across generations. This trend is reflected in the restaurant industry, with a rise in popularity of meat-focused chains and a shift in high-end restaurants towards incorporating more meat into their menus. Additionally, meat consumption has become a political statement for some conservatives, aligning with their opposition to the liberal green agenda.

!ping VEGAN seems like nothing but bad news for the past several years now
I switched from beef to pork. A lot cheaper, a lot more environmentally friendly, and healthier, too. I think that should’ve been the big policy. Not everyone will switch to vegetarianism, but you can definitely get people to switch to pork or turkey.
The biggest mistake from the plant based movement was an attempt to replace meat instead of coexistence.
It also hurt that the online social media progressive types were radical and tried to force people onto veganism. If they really wanted a meat-less movement. They needed to transition people to vegetarianism and then to veganism.
Other factors include the expensive prices. Early on, Beyond meat and impossible foods tasted mostly like garbage. Some of their recent offerings do taste a lot better but still suffer from expensive prices.

I don’t know, maybe there’s another, simpler conclusion to draw.
