I do not understand the target demographic for this product.

It tastes like meat. That's an instant redflag, regardless of anything. It may as well just be meat at that point. The only reason it should need to taste like meat is if it were intended to replace meat, yet if it were intended to replace meat then meat would stop being served, rather than being served alongside meat.

so it tastes like meat. why though?
vegetarians will eat other food.
vegetarians will avoid meat.
americans will eat meat.
americans will avoid impossible/beyond meat.

is this the google glass of foodstuff? seems like a lot of people dumped a lot of money into this with zero foresight.

in relation to burger king, they have already had a literal "BK Veggie" burger on their menu for a decade. It's a patty of ground up veggies and and mushrooms n shit. It gives substance to a sandwich and has it's own flavor without being a meat patty, with clearly visible chunks of various veggies in the patty. Burger King is the last one to need a vegetarian option, but all the same there are plenty other ways to have vegetarian patties as sandwich filler for any restaurant, the very least includes what burger king does by using MorningStar Farms Garden Veggie Patty, which is a veggie patty you can also buy at most grocery outlets.

Going this "impossible" meat-flavored not-meat route is ultimately fucking retarded. The product costs more than regular meat, so cannibals will eat the cheaper option all the same. Because it tastes like meat, it doesn't appeal to vegetarians.

you need to have brain damage to have faith in the concept of this product.

>> No.12792816

The target demographic is vegans and vegetarians who refuse to eat actual meat on principle, but can be tempted by meat-like substitutes. If you have a group of four friends and one is a vegetarian, having vegan options whatever they taste like makes it more likely that these four friends will eat at your restaurant, I don’t understand your question at all because the answer seems blindingly obvious.

Most vegans or vegetarians don’t turn down meat because they don’t like the taste, certainly there may be some people who develop a distaste for meat after years of not eating it and an even smaller minority who never liked it, but I’ve never seen anything to suggest that most or even many vegetarians refuse meat because of its taste. On the contrary there are probably more who do crave foods like steak, bacon, fried chicken etc. and would be delighted by what they consider a more ethical alternative.

To the extent that even the prospect of lab-grown cultured meat has received a quite warm welcome from the vegetarian community as a whole, and many have expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of eating ‘guilt-free’ meat, in some cases for the first time in years if not decades.

>> No.12792833

>>12792816
tldr most vegetarians and vegans turn down meat because of the deliberate and what they see as needless killin’ involved, not the taste. Some prefer tofu and beans to anything that even reminds them of meat, but others are okay with anything that doesn’t involve eating a slaughtered animal, even if deliberately made to sort of taste like one.

>>12792810
You're basing all of this off the assumption that vegetarians and vegans don't eat meat because they don't like it, but the primary reason they don't eat meat is moral or nutritional, not because they don't like the taste.
In their eyes they can have "meat" without hurting animals or eating a lot of fat and cholesterol. I know a handful of vegs/veges and they all eat this garbage. It is part of their confirmation bias that fat = bad and cholesterol = bad that a company would make this product to replace meat for meat eaters too.

You're not a vegetarian if you eat animals. That's literally the definition of vegetarianism. There's no thinking about it.

If they eat at a restaurant, they'll order vegetarian.

Speak for yourself. I'm a vegetarian, and I don't avoid meat because I can't stand the flavor or texture or anything. I'm not a 5-year-old with a tantrum over food. The issue is that I don't want animals to die so that I can eat. If the Impossible Burger lets me have convenient fast food with no animal harm, I'll eat it.

Is this really so hard to understand?

BTW, I love how boomers (and non-boomer idiots) think this is part of some conspiracy to outlaw meat. Then they're like "hurf durf I'm going to eat extra barbeque this weekend, just because Burger King is offering a vegetarian alternative! That'll show them!"

It's been making money because people are curious to try it. To replace the meat on something like a whopper is not exactly the hardest thing to do. If sales continue they'll have cut their own niche in the fast food market. It's new and it's already priced competitively with real meat. In a couple years they could refine production and sell it even cheaper if there's still interest. Replacing actual cuts of meat isn't a goal right now. The average consumer doesn't care what's in junk food and fast food; what matters is price/quantity (value) and taste. Impossible/beyond shit is just the newest wave of junk food to hit the market.

Anyway, numb nut. It's marketed towards vegans, which tend to earn above the median income so we can afford to buy these products. I hope more people eat them because it will bring the price down as production scales up.

What is it with the anti-vegetarian autists here and this weird conviction people who don't eat meat must also magically somehow not have any desire to eat meat? It's a perceived (that word there means don't response saying 'b-but it isn't!' to the next word, because I'm not even saying it is, just that it's perceived that way by them) MORAL issue, not a taste issue. If you weren't some culture deprived zoomer you'd be familiar with the several different idioms that express this exact sentiment of enjoying meat but not wanting to watch a slaughterhouse in action e.g. "everyone likes sausage but no one wants to see how they're made" or "one would risk being disgusted if one saw politics, justice, and one’s dinner in the making."
Meat tastes great. Slaughtering animals has been the unfortunate but historically necessary cost for meat. If you could somehow get meat WITHOUT having industrial slaughterhouses, that would be ideal, with the main remaining objections being related to how much the product we're talking about actually is still meat vs. just a shitty imitation.
I eat meat and probably always will eat meat. I'm not very convinced we'll have an exact replica of meat that doesn't come from animal slaughter within my lifetime. But if we did, of course that would be a good thing.
