Beyond Meat ?
Posted by Big Gav in artificial meat
Peak meat may have occurred in the US already, however even the steadily increasing population of vegans and vegetarians that walk amongst us occasionally have a craving for something that looks and tastes like meat.
As a result interest in artificial meat remains high. MIT TEchnology Review has a look at the current state of the market, looking at a startup called "Beyond Meat" - The Problem with Fake Meat. The key problems to solve at this point are making the texture of the "beast patty" acceptable to the tongue and developing substitutes to soy (now mostly GMO) for the raw substrate.
