The real reasons plant based meat has not taken off is very simple.

  1. Price
  2. Taste (or texture for some people)

When both of them are comparable to animal meat, we will see mass adoption. There is no conspiracy. The front group mentioned here isn't active beyond North America.....yet there is no adoption in Asia either.

TVP has been cheap for a long time. Black bean burgers are like the cheapest thing you can make, magnitudes cheaper than animals.
