Fake Meat

In this episode, we’re talking about fake meat, an industry that has absolutely exploded, especially in the past decade, though recent inflation has had a significant impact on American consumption of it. We’ll talk about the history of fake meat, scientific breakthroughs that helped companies like Impossible and Beyond Meat make meat substitutes that taste pretty darn close to the real thing, and what experts predict will happen to the industry as a whole as food costs continue to rise.
