There's at least one way to get people to eat less meat/fish:

Make plant based alternatives cheaper than the real thing. I would definitely buy impossible meat if it were cheaper than real beef. As it stands it is several times more expensive than real beef. Same for impossible fish (if such a thing were to exist).

If impossible fish sticks taste nearly identical to real fish sticks, but it's cheaper and plant-based, why wouldn't your average consumer buy impossible fish sticks for their kids?

Lots of fish sticks are made from tilapia, which are plant feeding fresh water fish. They're basically impossible fish sticks.

Just one reason: imitation beef is often highly processed, while beef itself is all natural.
