Fake Meat Was Supposed to Save the World. It Became Just Another Fad

Even if fake meat tasted better and cost less, people would still eat meat too. I like chicken more than potatoes, yet I still eat potatoes.

Fake meat's best outcome would be for it to be enjoyed as much as meat, but it couldn't replace it. It would just be another thing to experience.

This. I'm not sure who expected that some "fake" meat came along and somehow everyone switched to it.

We're used to eating meat and most have been eating it their entire lives. It's unrealistic to think that most would switch in a few years.

Swapping to fake meats, even meat grown in a lab will probably takes decades at the minimum.
