According to TFA, the Impossible Burger 2.0 has reached parity with meat-based burgers. It seems unlikely that they'll just stop innovating, so they might eventually produce a soy-based burger that tastes better than meat at the same price. If that happens, it's game over for meat.

It'll still be a burger - or ground burger product.

What if I want a well-marbled aged beef ribeye?

Or if I want to smoke a pork shoulder or brisket?

Those kinds of products are going to take some time before they become manufactured from plant-based sources (or before they are "grown" - indeed, the first versions of that nature are likely to be too lean, which will be a real problem, especially for taste and texture).

We have them in local joints - at a 50% premium. Not gonna take over at that price.
