“Price-, Taste-, and Convenience-Competitive Plant-Based Meat Would Not Currently Replace Meat” by Jacob_Peacock

Plant-based meats, like the Beyond Sausage or Impossible Burger, and cultivated meats have become a source of optimism for reducing animal-based meat usage. - Public health, environmental, and animal welfare advocates aim to mitigate the myriad harms of meat usage. - The price, taste, and convenience (PTC) hypothesis posits that if plant-based meat is competitive with animal-based meat on these three criteria, the large majority of current consumers would replace animal-based meat with plant-based meat. - The PTC hypothesis rests on the premise that PTC primarily drive food choice. The PTC hypothesis and premise are both likely false.
