That's correct, I agree with you. I'm expressing that I've seen this happen time and time again. There are already alternatives out there, not processed alternatives, real foods people have been eating for thousands of years. So when people comment "Oh, FINALLY I can be ethical!" It comes off as disingenuous, people just don't want to change their habits even if it better aligns with their personal beliefs. I still think for a long time this will play out how Beyond and Impossible do. An option for those curious to try it, but the path forward to liberate animals will not come from an exciting new product, it will have to come from a shift in our thinking of food. I just don't see that ever happening.
