I would try it and I would eat it if it tastes good. There are a lot of different kinds of meat that would need suitable replacements though:

* all cuts of steak

* chicken

* pork

* salmon, tuna, mackerel, eel, sea urchin, shrimp...

Ground beef seems like low hanging fruit, making convincing sushi seems more difficult.

I can think of several reasons people may not want artificial meat. Maybe they think it's gross (test tube meat) or it goes against tradition and culture. I don't think the "shaming" angle works well to get people to change their diet. I know I immediately tune out or get defensive when people tell me what I should do with my personal life. Especially since almost everything is "bad" for the environment. So unless someone lives in a dirt hut, eating veggies they grow themselves, wearing clothes made from their own hemp and never traveling, I really don't take what they have to say about the environment into consideration.
